Huawei's new patent on sulfide solid-state batteries addresses liquid battery degradation, promising high energy density, safety, long life, and stability for EVs and storage.
[pdf] In May 2009, Commerce Secretary announced that he will co-chair a smart grid meeting with Secretary of Energy in Washington, D.C. The meeting was to bring together industry and government leaders to begin a critical discussion about developing industry-wide standards for smart grid technologies. Industry leaders at this meeting were expected to pledge to harmonize industry standards and to commit to a timetable to reach a standards agre.
[pdf] One of the first applications of concentrated solar was the 6 horsepower (4.5 kW) solar powered motor made by H.E. Willsie and John Boyle in 1904. An early solar pioneer of the 19th and 20th century, , built a demonstration plant that used solar power to pump water using an array of mirrors in a trough to generate steam. Located in Philadelphia, the solar wate.
[pdf] Recently, big news emerged in the energy storage sector: Fluence and ACE Engineering’s new factory in Bac Giang Province, Vietnam, has officially commenced operations. This is no ordinary factory—it is an automated energy storage facility with an annual production capacity of up to 35 GWh.
[pdf] 300MW of storage capacity - enough to power 200,000 homes during blackouts. The system uses lithium-ion batteries (yes, like your smartphone) but scaled up to industrial proportions.
[pdf] Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to for later use using . At a scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in , and is still operational as of 2024 . The Huntorf plant was initially de. Researchers from North China Electric Power University have looked into methods for improving the efficiency of compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems, which are used to store excess energy from solar and wind power plants.
