Battery Technology from A to Z
Concordes Vice President of Advanced Battery Technology, on Sun Xtender® Renewable Energy Batteries: including maximizing the life of your storage battery & battery aging, technology costs and risks
Taking Microgrids to the Next Level With Li-ion Energy Storage
To convince investors of the business case, energy storage must deliver a high return on investment in terms of substantial savings and operational advantages. Equally, there can be no reduction in reliability and power quality.
Energy Storage Is Coming, But Big Price Declines Still Needed
Joshua Rhodes for Forbes: Cheap energy storage got a steroid shot this week when FERC announced that it was going to let energy storage operate in the wholesale markets as both a buyer and a seller.
Lithium Battery Life Could Double by Adding Graphene Girders to Silicon Electrodes
Graphite has been the default choice of active material for anodes in lithium-ion batteries since their original launch by Sony but researchers and manufacturers have long sought a way to replace graphite with silicon, as it is an abundantly available element with ten times
Tesla and Australia will turn 50,000 homes into a virtual solar power plant
Mark Austin for DigitalTrends: Installation of the 5kW solar panels and Tesla batteries has already begun on 1,100 public housing properties, with 24,000 more to follow. After that, the program will be opened up to as many as 50,000 South Australian homes.
A new approach to rechargeable batteries
David L. Chandler, MIT News Office: New metal-mesh membrane could solve longstanding problems and lead to inexpensive power storage.
The Future of Residential Home Energy Storage
2017 - Most Popular Article - With the market growing so rapidly, consumers need to understand which product best suits their households energy needs. Again, the key is starting with a customers energy usage and determining how they will use an energy storage system.
Powerwall Type Batteries
There are many reasons to purchase a battery system for the home or business, starting with natural disasters, but a battery system, tied into a solar system, will maximize self-consumption of solar power, reduce grid costs, increase the resiliency of electricity, and take a home or business completely off grid with minimal fossil fuels.
Understanding Battery Degradation
Batteries may degrade gracefully up to a point, then experience "rapid fade" and lose capacity quickly. A system that has been designed to meet a given level of demand will, at some point, be unable to do so.
MIT turns to millennia-old tech for renewable energy storage
Barbara Eldredge for Curbed: Indeed, MIT researchers have reinvented firebricks, a Bronze-Age technology created by the Hittites-who occupied what is today Turkey, in the 17th century BC. Firebricks were designed by the Hittites to retain heat for long periods of time, if properly insulated.
Tech Guru Unveils New Battery To Challenge Lithium-Ion
The three main possible applications of the new alkaline battery technology would be consumer electronics, electric cars, and energy storage for the power grid, according to the developers.
Study Suggests Route to Improving Rechargeable Lithium Batteries
Smooth surfaces may prevent harmful deposits from working their way into a solid electrolyte.
Case Study: Energy storage enables SEV to optimize wind power for the Faroe Islands
The latest step in SEVs renewable energy program is a new 12 MW wind farm located in Húsahagi, on the island of Streymoy. Since coming on line in 2014, the wind farm has increased the islands wind share to 26 percent of total electricity production.
Panasonic Joins Push to Put Photovoltaics on More Car Roofs
By Chisaki Watanabe, Emi Nobuhiro, and Kevin Buckland for Bloomberg: The tech giant thinks solar roof panels are the future for hybrids and EVs.
Powervault to give electric car batteries a second life in smart homes
Jessica Twentyman for Internet of Business: Automaker Renault is partnering with UK-based smart home energy storage specialist Powervault in a deal that will see batteries previously used to power electric vehicles (EVs) redeployed to store solar power in homes.
