1+ hour, 15+ min ago   (1045+ words) CHICAGO, Ill. (Capitol News Illinois) — For Illinois to meet its ambitious decarbonization goals, the state’s energy grid will need more battery storage to make use of solar and wind power when the sun doesn’t shine and wind doesn’t blow. State regulators…...

1+ hour, 54+ min ago   (113+ words) UQ chemical engineer Dr Miaoqiang Lyu. "Wearable health devices such as glucose sensors, ECG patches and sweat-based lactate and electrolyte patches support preventative healthcare and improve quality of life, but limitations with their batteries can be challenging for users," Dr…...

11+ hour, 8+ min ago   (585+ words) Solid-state batteries have occupied an awkward position in the EV world for years. Automakers and battery companies routinely promise greater range, faster charging, and improved safety, yet most of the technology is stuck somewhere between laboratory prototypes and limited pilot…...

4+ hour, 2+ min ago   (225+ words) The most common mistake in residential battery sizing and emergency backup calculations is the linear division trap: In physical reality, electrochemical cells and power electronics never behave linearly. Under real-world load conditions, nominal runtime formulas can overestimate battery backup endurance…...

14+ hour, 45+ min ago   (333+ words) In space-vector-modulation-based flux-linkage-loop-free direct torque control (SVM-FLLF-DTC) for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives, the open-loop d-axis voltage control causes an inherent magnetization effect, and the conventional single-axis flux-linkage limiting strategy entails a risk of positive-feedback runaway. To address these…...

17+ hour, 33+ min ago   (234+ words) South Korea’s INFAC Corporation has introduced an innovative 800V battery pack design block for electric vehicles that integrates a high-power 800V-to-48V isolated and regulated DC-DC converter. The new design improves vehicle performance, power efficiency and boosts range through the reduction of…...

19+ hour, 6+ min ago   (505+ words) LG has made a battery breakthrough that could bring down the costs of electric cars further, as the race to develop more efficient technology heats up. Electrical technology company LG Energy Solution and Seoul National University have announced a breakthrough…...

20+ hour, 23+ min ago   (301+ words) The challenge lies in the fact that both the electrodes and electrolytes in sulfide all-solid-state batteries are solids. During charge–discharge cycling, the volume of the solid electrodes changes slightly, creating microscopic gaps at the interface where they contact the…...

20+ hour, 49+ min ago   (493+ words) A homeowner with $50,000 to spend on an off-grid power system turned to Reddit's r/SolarDIY community to ask whether they could design a setup around a 100+ kilowatt-hour battery bank without blowing through their budget. The replies offered a reality check,…...
