Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. The key to this Ocean Renewable Energy Storage (ORES) system is the placement of 30-meter-diameter hollow concrete spheres on the seafloor under the wind turbines. Earlier post.).

A new metal mesh membrane developed by researchers at MIT could advance the use of the Na–NiCl 2 displacement battery, which has eluded widespread adoption owing to the fragility of the ?"-Al through the MIT Energy Initiative. Al 2 O 3 membrane. A paper describing the development is published in the journal Nature Energy.

Dr. Kripa Varanasi, cofounder of Alsym Energy and professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, said: Battery storage systems can help provide firm capacity to the grid when the sun is not shining and wind is not blowing, but changing climates and hazardous environments demand flexible solutions that can meet a range of needs safely and economically.

A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , he also was a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the MIT board of trustees. Today solar is the third largest renewable-electricity sector behind hydropower and wind. He began his civilian career in 1953 as a telephone installation expert at Bell.

The discovery came when MIT researchers Byoungwoo Kang and Gerbrand Ceder found out how to get a common lithium compound to release and take up lithium ions in a matter of seconds. Installing a dedicated circuit panel say a 200 amp model could be an alternative or supplement to public fast charging stations. Like this post?

As one MIT report found, on average, “a fully electric vehicle emits about 25 percent less carbon than a comparable hybrid car.” Finally, technology is also making EVs more eco-friendly, and as our energy grid switches to use more renewable sources like wind and solar power, EVs become even better for the environment.
