Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

Cheesecake is part of a cohort of companies trying to meet a growing need for alternative forms of energy storage. As countries transition away from fossil fuels to green sources of energy like wind and solar, there will be natural lulls in energy production due to weather conditions.

Study sees gradual, focused replacement of lead-acid SLI batteries by Li-ion batteries over next couple of years

Green Car Congress

The researchers also concluded that the energy market sector and its use of the lead-acid battery will continue to grow with significant expansion in use for storage in renewable energy systems. There will still be a need for a 12 V battery for the supply of auxiliary power that will not necessarily be a Pb-acid SLI battery.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Harvard have demonstrated a metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery—a quinone–bromide flow battery (QBFB)—as an example of a class of energy storage materials that exploits the favorable chemical and electrochemical properties of a family of molecules known as quinones. —Huskinson et al.

How an Emergency Mobile Charging System can save you money

Setec Powerr

Lower initial costs The hardware costs for public DC electric vehicle charging stations range from $40,000 to $100,000 per charging station. You can avoid these costs by choosing an Emergency mobile EV charging system. It is less difficult to maintain than fixed charging facilities, so the cost is significantly reduced.

Utility solar dethrones coal as the cheapest power source in Asia

Baua Electric

Photo: China News Service Renewable energy costs in Asia last year were 13% cheaper than coal and are expected to be 32% cheaper by 2030, according to a new study. This is significant because it marks a shift toward making renewables increasingly competitive with coal, a mainstay in APAC’s energy mix.

Sodium-Ion Powered EVs Roll off From Chinese EV Factories

Get Electric Vehicle

Analysts argue that even with the average reduction in the cost of Li-ion batteries in the last decade, EVs cannot become economically competitive with fossil fuel cars until the cost of batteries drops much more, to $151/kWh. China-based battery manufacturer Farasis Energy is supplying sodium-ion batteries for the EV.
