…energy transition from first principles… Energy theory from first principles: energy units, thermo-dynamics, electricity, electrochemistry, magnets and motors and semiconductors. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2022/08/25/energy-units-life-the-universe-and-everything/ Decarbonization technologies from first principles: renewables, batteries, EVs, EV charging, lithium…
…4-hours. Faster charging and discharging are possible, but they may invalidate the battery’s warranty. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2022/09/29/battery-degradation-causes-effects-implications/ Grid modelling: why we prefer kW and $/kW metrics? When we start modelling the integration…
…different storage media (pages 4-8). Thermal storage has high charging capacity, more than electrochemical cells, which has overlooked benefits in power grids (pages 9-10). Re-releasing energy is where the devil…
…It currently looks challenging to generate acceptable IRRs without charging a disposal fee in the range of $1,700-2,000/ton. Although this could change through improved chemistries and more highly automated processes….
…is battery powered for aerial vehicles, at today’s battery densities, creating a vast opportunity for fast-charging infrastructure. Pages 14-18 calculate exceptional economics can be attained, comprehensively bridging to levels that…
…solutions could be very material for offshore economics, improving oilfield decline rates and maintenance costs. Innovations include: Residing subsea for c1-year at a time, by re-charging in subsea “docking” stations….
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…
…economics are strong, especially for larger units and for fast-charging of electric vehicles. $799.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart CO2 emissions can also be reduced by 5-30%compared to purchasing power from…
…Greater energy density often comes at the cost of safety risks (#5) or degradation. Greater longevity often comes at the cost of lower power and slower charging. So be wary…
This data-file models the economics of turbo-charging gas turbines, which increases the mass flow of combustion air, in order to improve their power ratings c10-20%. This is especially important to…
