Does energy storage capacity cost matter?
In optimizing an energy system where LDES technology functions as “an economically attractive contributor to a lower-cost, carbon-free grid,” says Jenkins, the researchers found that the parameter that matters the most is energy storage capacity cost.
How will storage technology affect electricity systems?
Because storage technologies will have the ability to substitute for or complement essentially all other elements of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand response, these tools will be critical to electricity system designers, operators, and regulators in the future.
What is Energy Materials Research?
Energy materials research highlights the convergence of science and technology, with social science, economics, and policy. How do these different areas inform each other to enable real-world changes? I always think that, as scientists, we tend to underperform in terms of reaching out to the public.
Why do we need standardized reporting on Energy Materials & Devices?
Inconsistent reporting on energy materials and devices in research papers underscores the need for standardized protocols and greater transparency. Collaborative benchmarking initiatives are paving the way for more reliable and reproducible results. An article in Science Robotics presents a high-energy-density, picolitre-sized battery.
