The Future of the Electric Grid

Renewable energy is no longer a fringe idea of a hopeful few — it is the future of the electric grid. ...

Battery Energy Storage in Stationary Applications

The drop in the cost of Li-ion batteries has leveled, leaving room in the battery energy storage market for both established and emerging technologies. Look for the commercialization of many new battery designs over the next decade. ...

Mitigating the Hazards of Battery Systems

The fire and explosion hazards presented by lithium-ion batteries have been well documented. Principles of chemical process safety can be adapted to assess and mitigate these hazards. ...

Hybrid Flow Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage

Flow batteries offer performance, safety, and cost advantages over Li-ion batteries for large-scale stationary applications. An innovative hybrid flow battery design could help challenge Li-ion market dominance and enable massive renewable-energy penetration. ...

Rechargeable Manganese Dioxide-Zinc Batteries

MnO2-Zn batteries once dominated the energy storage market, but their application was limited to use as primary batteries. A new generation of rechargeable MnO2-Zn batteries is poised to compete with Li-ion and Pb-acid batteries on cost, safety, and energy density. ...
