Energy Transport and Energy Storage
News about Energy Storage, Energy Transport, and Energy Conversion technologies that are enabling and needed for environmentally friendly energy use. This includes storage at [or near] the location of intermittent and cyclical energy collection, transport of energy from where it is produced to where it is needed, storage at [or near] the location the energy is to be used, and conversion of energy to more 'convenient' forms. All of this is at multiple scales, from temporary storage for photovoltaic and environmental energy scavenging personal devices and fuel cell powered laptops, to manging the intermittent nature of multiple gigawatt tidal, wind, and solar farms. The focus of this twine is not on the collection or end use of energy. It is on the technologies, infrastructure, policies, and research for and enabling storing the energy, moving it to where it is needed, when it is needed, and [if needed] converting it to intermediate forms. This includes energy demand management, like smart grid technologies.
The summary page got too big, so I moved the extended description, background and related twines information to note:

IEEE Spectrum: Special Report: The Smart GridTaking the latest in computing and communications technology to make the electrical system more interactive, efficient, and robust is not a new idea. What’s new is that suddenly more than 10 billion federal dollars are being poured into it. But all that money will be well spent only if ...

Printable Batteries - Research News July 2009-Topic 1 – Fraunhofer-GesellschaftResearch News July 2009 For a long time, batteries were bulky and heavy. Now, a new cutting-edge battery is revolutionizing the field. It is thinner than a millimeter, lighter than a gram, and can be produced cost-effectively through a printing process. In the past, it was necessary to race ...

Worldchanging: Bright Green: Locavolts or Super Grids? Where to Source Clean Energy?Only possible when the capabilities of the technology catch up with 'requirements'. The 'footprint' of collecting and storing (for intermittent sources like solar) needs to come way down. Footprint: physical space (per person, per energy unit), manufacturing, end of life recycling, ...Phil Duby added 7 months ago

Worldchanging: Bright Green: Locavolts or Super Grids? Where to Source Clean Energy?Neither. Every home is given a high energy-creating (solar or otherwise) cell on their roof which creates enough electricity for their home. Every streetlight has its own cell. Nothing is connected to a grid. End of story.Murray Peat added 7 months ago
