Hydrogen Battery "Sponges" Store Solar for the Grid

Cars That Think

A novel project in Australia aims to harness the sun’s energy in two different ways: by storing it and by using it to produce green hydrogen. Operators can use the systems to store energy from solar panels and deliver power to the grid during cloudy days or at night. reduce pressure and add stability to the grid,” Yu said.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

To Store or Not to Store: That is the Question

Green Car Congress

Typical daily grid demand. “ Why do you need energy storage on the grid, when the grid is full of power plants that generate all the energy that is needed? ” It would seem like a good question to ask and applies the same logic has been used for the past fifty years in determining grid strategy.

BloombergNEF: solar, wind, batteries to attract $10T to 2050; curbing emissions long-term will require other technologies

Green Car Congress

Deep declines in wind, solar and battery technology costs will result in a grid nearly half-powered by the two fast-growing renewable energy sources by 2050, according to the latest projections from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Wind and solar grow from 7% of generation today to 48% by 2050. —Matthias Kimmel, NEO 2019 lead analyst.

Groupe Renault, Connected Energy install EV charging with 2nd-life batteries at highway rest areas

Green Car Congress

UK-based Connected Energy and Groupe Renault have installed two quick-charge stations based on Connected Energy’s E-STOR energy storage technology on highways in Belgium and Germany. With the E-STOR system, the batteries are recharged at low power, and the stored energy is then released at high power.
