Energy Storage

Edelaysen's grid is served by run-of-river hydropower that varies daily and seasonally. This resource requires the company to operate supplemental diesel generators throughout the year to compensate when customer demand exceeds hydro output. With Chile implementing cleaner forms of generation and aiming to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions across the country, a sustainable alternative to continuous diesel dependence in their operating area was essential.

Brisbane-based Graphene Manufacturing Group will manufacture battery prototypes for watches, phones, laptops, electric vehicles and grid storage under a research agreement with scientists from UQ's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology.

Patents can provide useful insight into innovation trends within a certain technology area, with a patent landscape providing information on the following as somewhat of proxy for innovation and activity in a market. This article analyzes the Li-ion cathode patent landscape.

Hybrid electric new aircraft are rare and programs to develop them promise up to three times the range of today's battery aircraft. However, many battery aircraft developers promise to match the launches of hybrid aircraft of various sizes with battery electric ones of similar range on the day.

InoBat Auto has today announced a landmark agreement with SOR, one of the largest producers of city and intercity-buses in Central Europe, with the intention to design, develop and supply batteries for a new urban, intercity and long-distance electric bus fleet.

Aggreko has delivered a smart battery storage system to Argonne National Laboratory. The solution will expand high power charging for electric vehicles at the organisation's Smart Energy Plaza near Chicago, Illinois, USA.
