to bolster its grid capacity amid rapid growth in power generation using renewable energy. Delivery of the battery, which has about a 20-year lifespan, is planned for 2015. Renewable power sources such as solar and wind fluctuate sharply with the weather, creating concerns over the possible impact on grid voltage and frequency.

The Audi e-gas plant, which can convert six megawatts of input power, will utilize renewable electricity for electrolysis, producing oxygen and hydrogen, the latter which could one day power fuel-cell vehicles. Audi plans to launch a second TCNG model, based on the A4, in 2015. Ground was broken in September 2012.

This allows storage of charge at a higher volumetric or gravimetric density, which translates to a higher stored energy density or storage capacity for a given size or weight. One way is to generate hydrogen by splitting water and storing the hydrogen, as in the power-to-gas schemes under examination (e.g., Chiang Yet-Ming (2015).
