Independent technology review and feasibility evaluation provides key step towards commercialization for liquid cryogen engine concept – aimed at competing with hydrogen fuel cells and pure battery electric systems in zero emissions applications.
BYD and the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) have finished construction on what may be the world’s largest battery energy storage station. This large utility-scale project, located in Zhangbei, Hebei Province, combines 140 Mega-Watts of renewable energy generation (both wind & solar), 36 Mega-Watt-Hours (MWh) of energy storage and a smart power transmission system. While there are renewable generation systems of this scale in service today, there are no battery systems of this size.
Chinese electric vehicle and battery maker Build Your Dreams, or BYD Auto Co., has signed an accord with local manufacturers to develop electric public-transportation vehicles and lithium batteries in the South American country, Argentina's production ministry said in a statement Tuesday.
"Argentina could become a regional platform for the company to export to Mercosur, Latin America and the world," the ministry said.
An advanced solar-powered vehicle built by Solar Energy Racers, which is run by employees from the Swiss-based Bühler Group, took ninth place and the best newcomer award in the Veolia World Solar Challenge trans-Australia race from Darwin to Adelaide in October.
Axeon, Europe’s largest independent supplier of lithium-ion battery systems, produced the cell-pack modules specifically for the SER-1 solar race car, enabling the vehicle to reach a top speed of 90km/h over the 3,000km distance.
Due to a cut of 15% in carbon emission reduction by 2015, the transportation and power system has been focused in the energy policy plan. The electric vehicle and renewable energy industry development also have great potential in Taiwan to become the next trillions of business. Formosa Energy & Material Technology Co. (FEMTC) firstly released their latest power management system, which adopt LFP / LFPO battery cell, it is expected to solve electromagnetic wave interference and provide dynamic balancing system.
Performance depreciation of power batteries could be a result of natural ageing through time or caused by lack of maintenance, operation in rigid environment, and inappropriate charge/discharge.
