Part 1 of this two-part blog discusses the challenges facing electric utilities – both electricity generators and grid operators – with electric vehicle (EV) adoption coinciding with the electrification of buildings, heating, and industry. The battery can “tell” the grid how much power is available in its battery.

12 ] Batteries are heavy, expensive and slow to recharge, so even with the expected gradual improvement in this technology, it will be a long time, if ever, before vehicles powered only by batteries (BEVs) can match the range and refueling convenience of a dual fuel PHEVLER. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [

A new draft working paper published by the Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center concluded that a PHEV pack comprising lithium iron phosphate cells would incur little capacity loss from combining vehicle-to-grid (V2G) activities with regular driving. Different DoD did not have a large impact on capacity fade. Peterson et al.

The team says replacing a metal wheel well with a composite one could enable Volvo to reduce the number of batteries needed to power the electric motor. The laminated architecture of fibre composites mirrors the configuration of many current electrical storage devices. Even the Sat Nav could be powered by its own casing.

In a paper in Nature , they suggest that the use of such redox-active organic molecules instead of redox-active metals represents a new and promising direction for realizing massive electrical energy storage at greatly reduced cost. Paying for 50 megawatts of power capacity when only 1 megawatt is necessary makes little economic sense.
