5 FAQs about [Yidu energy storage patent]
Are patents a valid indicator of innovation in the energy sector?
Following the work of Griliches 42, others evaluated patenting in the energy sector, and concluded that patents are a valid indicator to measure innovativeness within the energy sector 2, 28. This result has been extended and re-confirmed by a number of authors 43.
Will electricity storage benefit from R&D and deployment policy?
Electricity storage will benefit from both R&D and deployment policy. This study shows that a dedicated programme of R&D spending in emerging technologies should be developed in parallel to improve safety and reduce overall costs, and in order to maximize the general benefit for the system.
Can the US become a leader in electric battery storage?
Further government support is necessary to promote responsible R&D spending that enables serious cost reductions across solar, wind, and storage, while also decarbonizing electricity and transportation. The US has the opportunity to become a leader, not a laggard, in electric battery storage manufacturing and development.
How can battery storage help reduce energy costs?
Simultaneously, policies designed to build market growth and innovation in battery storage may complement cost reductions across a suite of clean energy technologies. Further integration of R&D and deployment of new storage technologies paves a clear route toward cost-effective low-carbon electricity.
Can solar and battery storage compete directly with fossil-based electricity options?
We find and chart a viable path to dispatchable US$1 W−1 solar with US$100 kWh−1 battery storage that enables combinations of solar, wind, and storage to compete directly with fossil-based electricity options. Electricity storage will benefit from both R&D and deployment policy.
