The Net-Zero Neighborhood: Advanced Energy Storage and Highly Efficient Photovoltaics Take Transportation Off the Gasoline Grid and Residential Off the Electric Grid

Green Car Congress

The NZN concept relies on high energy density storage systems incorporated into the local grid, as well as efficient photovoltaic generation. Ab initio materials, design, performance, and manufacturing can initially be handled with petascale (1 x 10 15 op/s) computation, Weigand suggests. NZN can integrate with the centralized grid.
