Nissan and Endesa, an Enel Group subsidiary, signed an agreement at the Geneva International Motor Show pledging to work together to deliver a mass-market V2G system and an innovative business model designed to leverage this technology. Later on, in 2012, Endesa presented the evolution of such technology at the ZEM2ALL demonstrator.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. A microgrid is like a miniaturized, tightly controlled version of a power grid.

Several banks, corporations, governments and scientists have already implemented some form of blockchain to inexpensively, securely and expediently store and share information. A blockchain is essentially a fault-tolerant, decentralized collection of records, or blocks, that are connected and secured by cryptography.

As this proportion grows, however, the basic dilemma associated with these renewable energy sources remains: first, electricity cannot always be supplied when it is required and second, on sunny days and in high-wind conditions, there is often a lack of capacity for storing the energy generated.

Starting around the middle of 2024, the Shetlands—and also part of mainland Scotland—will be powered by the 443-megawatt Viking wind farm , consisting of 103 wind turbines on the main island of Shetland. Energy from the AC source is stored in DC capacitors in the submodules. This article is part of our special report Top Tech 2024.

One example of this is the modular transverse matrix (MQB), probably the most successful vehicle architecture in use at present—some 55 million vehicles are being produced by the Group based on the first generation of MQB. The power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC).

While a wireless charger saves you from having to connect and disconnect cables repeatedly, the distance over which energy can be delivered this way is quite short. Indeed, it’s hard to recharge or power a device when the air gap is just a few centimeters, much less a few meters. This wouldn’t be such a silly connection to make.

During the photo-assisted charging process, I − ions are photo-electrochemically oxidized to I 3 − , harvesting solar energy and storing it as chemical energy. Several groups have made pioneering contributions toward this goal. Our group has also demonstrated photo-assisted charging of a Li–O 2 battery.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. While utilities such as E.ON
