Solid state batteries promise 2x higher energy density than traditional lithium ion, with 3x faster charging and lower risk of fires. Thus they could re-shape global energy, especially heavy trucks….
…for hybridizing engines with backup batteries: the engines are always run at efficient, 80-100% loads, including to charge up the batteries, which can better cover lower intensity energy needs. Hybrid…
…flex. The calculations are based on Monte Carlo simulations using real-world data on wind and solar volatility, which dictates the curtailment rate of renewables and the utilziation rates of batteries…
This data-file tabulates the greatest challenges for lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles, which have been cited in 2020’s patent literature. Specifically, the work contains a sample of 100 patents…
…grid can absorb. Below, we consider three solutions to address this challenge… (1) Should the home-owner build more batteries to avoid having to export so much power to the grid…
Redox flow batteries have 6-24 hour durations and require 15-20c/kWh storage spreads. They will increasingly compete with lithium ion batteries in grid-scale storage. Does this unlock a step-change for peak…
What if it were possible to displace diesel from high-cost, high-carbon “island” electricity grids, by charging up large batteries with gas- and renewable power, then shipping the batteries? This model…
Supercapacitors may eclipse lithium ion batteries in the hybridization of transport and industry. Their energy density is improving. Potential CO2 savings could surpass 1bn tons per year. IRRs of 10-50%…
Supercapacitors may eclipse lithium ion batteries? This research report outlines the opportunity for supercapacitors in transport and industry. Their energy density is improving. Potential CO2 savings could surpass 1bn tons…
