Powering the Grid More Efficiently Using an All New Battery Design

Powering the Grid More Efficiently Using an All New Battery Design

Because the situation of the electrical grid has difficulties controlling the sudden and heavy fluctuations of power that streams into the grid. This is because of wide swings in sunlight due to cloud coverage or wind speed due to wind waves. At a combined 20% contribution, leveling the peaks and troughs must be done using energy storage systems -- this energy storage holds the excess power during peaks and releases it during drops to smooth-en power moving through the grid -- Read More >>
