Giant Batteries For Green PowerHannover, Germany (SPX) Apr 06, 2011 In the future, the growing amounts of solar and wind energy will need to be stored for dark or low-wind periods. One solution is redox flow batteries that can supply current for up to 2000 households. Several Fraunhofer Institutes are working jointly on these fluid batteries of the future. The researchers will present their large battery installation at the Hannover Messe. Green power is an unstable commodity. Photovoltaic plants rest at night, and wind turbines stand still when there are lulls in ... read more |
