Energy Storage

Welcome and Introduction keynote presentation from IDTechEx CEO, Raghu Das, introducing the technologies covered along with an introduction to the IDTechEx Show! in Berlin 10-11 May 2017. www.IDTechEx.com/Europe

In a short series of three articles Michiel Kruijff covers the Frequently Asked Questions for all aspects of Ampyx Power's solution. This Part III is about the tether, ground systems and our certification approach.

Safety, range and costs: these are the three big premises of electromobility. Safety definitely comes first. Lithium-based traction batteries are usually completely enclosed in the battery case and integrated in the vehicle to protect the battery from all conceivable stresses and external influences. This "armour" has an effect on construction, weight, size and overall design of the vehicle.

You cannot get far today with electric cars. One reason is that the batteries require a lot of space. Scientists are stacking large cells on top of one another. This provides vehicles with more power. Initial tests in the laboratory have been positive. In the medium term, the project partners are striving to achieve a range of 1000 kilometers for electric vehicles.

The unique report Supercapacitor Materials 2017-2027 is a drill down from the IDTechEx overview, Supercapacitor Technologies and Markets 2016-2026. It is packed with detailed analysis, many new infograms, conference slides, roadmaps and a ten year forecasts 2017-2027.
