Solar energy scheme for small units of powerlooms was announced by the Ministry of Textiles in regards with on-grid solar PV plant (without battery backup) and off-grid solar PV plant (with battery backup) in which a subsidy of […] Read more
Hydrogen Fuel for Cars One Step Closer to Reality Updated On Mon, Nov 27th, 2017 by Saurenergy The technology, described in a paper in the journal Energy Storage Materials, could be especially useful in rural areas, or to military units serving in remote locations. Researchers at University of California, Los Angeles have designed a device that can use solar energy to inexpensively and efficiently create and store energy, which could be used […] Read more
Air-breathing Battery Could Cut Costs of Renewable Energy Storage Updated On Fri, Nov 24th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar power and wind are increasingly popular sources for renewable energy. But intermittency issues keep them from connecting widely to the U.S. grid: They require energy-storage systems that, at the cheapest, run about $100 per kilowatt hour and function only in certain locations. Now MIT researchers have developed an “air-breathing” battery that could store electricity […] Read more
