Assessing the value of battery energy storage in future power grids

The paper found that in both regions, the value of battery energy storage generally declines with increasing storage penetration. "As more and more storage is deployed, the value of additional storage steadily falls," explains Jenkins. "That creates a race between the declining cost of batteries and their declining value, and our paper ...

Saving heat until you need it | MIT Energy Initiative

MIT researchers have demonstrated a new way to store unused heat from car engines, industrial machinery, and even sunshine until it''s needed. Central to their system is a "phase-change" material that absorbs lots of heat as it melts and releases it as it resolidifies. Once melted and activated by ultraviolet light, the material stores the ...
