Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. They are inherently variable, producing electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. Sodium-ion batteries are now almost ready to fill the long-term storage gap.

New nanoparticle copper compound cathode could enable low-cost, long-life and high-power potassium-ion batteries for grid storage

Green Car Congress

Short-term transients, including those related to wind and solar sources, present challenges to the electrical grid. To maximize the benefit of the open structure, the researchers needed to use ions that fit; hydrated potassium ions proved to be a much better fit compared with other hydrated ions such as sodium and lithium.

Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. This article will answer your confusion. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. So what exactly is energy storage?

Making battery energy storage an integral part of ‘Net-Zero’ – ET Auto

Baua Electric

From the perspective of front-of-the-meter (FTM) customers like RE developers and utilities, long duration BES systems can store intermittent RE when solar, wind, tidal energies are available. With this background, Sodium-ion (Na-ion) technology is emerging as a credible alternative.

Electric Scooter vs Petrol Scooter : Huge benefits for India

Plug In India

You can use solar energy to power your EV now and go zero emissions. A petrol scooter has no option to be powered by solar energy. When you start an electric scooter, you can listen to the wind and birds! India’s Renewable energy mix is already at 38% and will increase in the coming decade. It is terrible.
