Waste Heat Capture (2 projects). Electronville: High-Amperage Energy Storage Device-Energy Storage for the Neighborhood. Sun Catalytix Corporation will develop a unique technology to split water into hydrogen and oxygen under benign conditions to enable storage of intermittent renewable solar and wind energy for around-the-clock use.
While the timing of charging can be handled through the use of these smart meters, this does not preclude the need for upgrading the grid, a project that will save massive numbers of kWh that are currently being wasted due to the incredibly old and cobbled together grid we’ve got now.
