Saft is supplying a lithium-ion battery system to provide energy storage for one of the SolarEnergyGrid Integration Systems (SEGIS) projects funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE). The design will incorporate energy storage and two-way communications between solar electrical systems and utilities.
As part of the Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative, the US Department of Energy (DOE) is making nearly $170 million for funding over three years available to support a range of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology areas.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is awarding more than $145 million to 69 projects in 24 states to help shape the next generation of solarenergy technologies. —Energy Secretary Steven Chu. SolarEnergyGrid Integration Systems: Advanced Concepts: Eight projects to receive $25.9 million.
The awardees went through a rigorous process including a review with CalSEED’s curated technical advisory committee, who volunteered their time and expertise to select the most promising future clean energy technologies. This novel technology would deliver safe, reliable, resilient, and cost-effective electric power in the grid.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) SunShot Initiative will award up to $30 million to 13 new projects to support the integration of solarenergy into US electric grid, while diversifying the nation’s electricity sources and improving the reliability and security of the electric grid.
After debuting the first solar air battery—a photo-assisted charging Li-O 2 battery—last fall ( earlier post ), researchers at The Ohio State University led by Professor Yiying Wu have now developed a new system combining a solar cell and a battery into a single device.

Using solarenergy (or other renewable energy sources ) to split water delivers sustainability , while recent research has made key inroads toward efficiency and scalability. By contrast, the sustainable solar-to-hydrogen approach has concentrated on photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. According to the U.S.
IBM Research has teamed with EKZ, the electricity utility provider of the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland, on a new pilot project that will allow consumers conveniently to charge electric vehicles and monitor their energy costs, using mobile devices. If less solarenergy is being generated, the charging process can adapt automatically.
The battery storage system also includes a voltage converter and power electronics to manage the energy flow between renewable energy sources, the house interface, and the Li-Ion high-voltage battery from the BMW i3. The system has been designed to be integrated into the house energy supply chain. BMW i 360° Electric.
Drexel University aims to design a significantly more efficient, fast, low-cost, compact, and reliable circuit breaker for medium-voltage direct-current (MVDC) power system. The breaker is designed to protect MVDC systems from electrical faults and expected to respond in 500 microseconds.
Together with other highly-flexible controllable systems in the BMW Group production network, they will contribute to the stability of the public grid outside of the plant. Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so.

The vehicle had its design finalized earlier this year, Musk said. ” The most recent development took place in mid-August when Tesla’s application to build a massive battery energy storage system (BESS) project at Gigafactory Texas was approved. The project is listed as a 53.27-acre
As the world grapples with the urgent need to transition to cleaner energy systems, a growing number of researchers are delving into the design and optimization of emerging technologies. Energy systems are not static, he emphasized. Energy systems are not static, he emphasized. Energy systems are not static.
The SolarEnergyGrid Integration Systems that are funded by the US Department of Energy have moved forward with the announcement that Saft will supply one of the projects with a lithium-ion battery system for energy storage.
Charging at home is even more affordable if a homeowner has solar panels, a smart energy tariff and a genuinely intelligent EV charger ; allowing them them to harness energy when it is at its cheapest and greenest. Currently, 62% of EV owners charge their vehicles at home. zappi EV Home Charging Solutions. Smart Charging.
As governments, automakers, and consumers push for cleaner mobility solutions, several key renewable energy trends are shaping the future of the automotive industry. Expansion of Solar-Powered Vehicles Solarenergy is increasingly being integrated into vehicle design to extend driving range and reduce dependency on charging stations.
This is exactly what EVs were designed to do, as they have no tailpipe emissions. The source of the electricity – whether renewable sources like wind, solar, or water, or nonrenewable sources like coal – is also important. How do EVs and EV charging equipment help you reach sustainability targets?
With charging energy as a service, EV owners can simply pay a fee to use a nearby charging station and avoid the upfront cost of purchasing and installing their own equipment. In addition to providing convenience and cost savings for EV owners, charging energy as a service can also have a positive impact on the overall energygrid.
Electric utilities will implement more energy storage projects on their grids — partly driven by regulations as well as the proliferation of clean-energygrids with distributed wind and solar generation. Backup batteries used in conjunction with solar power will be even more different.
Leverage artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, big data, and cloud computing to improve business and industrial processes, optimize the supply chain and energy consumption, and reduce carbon footprints. Renewable energy innovations. Enrich and expand solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy generation and utilization.
Many future owners may be driving EVs in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint and charging at home could give them the opportunity to control the source of the energy that goes into their car. For instance, they may have solar panels on their roof or could, via their utility, opt for energy from renewable sources.
The IntelliFLEX Aggregator Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) is designed to let energy providers localize the management of distributed batteries, utilizing a combination of residential battery storage, solarenergy, electric vehicle (EV) chargers and other management systems to help balance gridenergy more efficiently.
