In the short list of climate actions that will work, storage gets pride of place. As naysayers can’t seem to resist stating, the wind doesn’t blow all the time and the sun doesn’t shine at night. But ...

Electrical energy storage underpins modern power systems by smoothing fluctuations from variable renewable sources, enhancing grid stability and enabling portable electronics and electric transport.

An aerial photo of Hoover Dam with the Lake Mead reservoir behind. The white lines along the shore indicate the dropping water level of the reservoir as years of less than average rain fall have ...

Researchers in Spain have designed a pumped thermal energy storage system that uses supercritical carbon dioxide as a heat pump and a heat engine. The proposed system is claimed to achieve an ...

We’ve launched a study to determine the impacts of battery energy storage systems in which we’ll consider the best available ...

Researchers have found a way to enhance hybrid flow batteries and their commercial use. The new approach can store electricity in these batteries for very long durations for about a fifth the price of ...

A new report highlights the importance of molecular energy storage (like hydrogen) in addition to batteries for a future clean energy system. Despite the growth of battery technology, they will remain ...

On March 11, 2025, the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero and Ofgem published the much anticipated Technical Decision Document (TDD) to confirm details of the cap and floor scheme for LDES. 1 ...

This topic was brought to my attention when a representative from Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) answered a question in the July/August issue of IAEI magazine. Here’s the question as it appeared in ...

Some electronics can bend, twist and stretch in wearable displays, biomedical applications and soft robots. While these devices' circuits have become increasingly pliable, the batteries and ...
