- Storing energy isn’t
an easy task. Our smart phone battery only lasts for about a day
laptops only a few hours; the range for electric cars is limited to
only little more than a 100 kilometres; and these are only examples
for comparatively small devices. Now imagine the problem of storing
energy at the level of hundreds to thousands
of wind turbines and photovoltaic cells.
- Energy storage has
existed, in different forms, for centuries. From storage heaters and
hot water cylinders to pumped hydro systems, there are significant
variations in scale, technology, cost and operations of different
energy storage solutions
- With renewable energy,
the production is fluctuating in a way that is hardly predictable.
- Renewable Energies and
their fluctuating production however make additional storage
possibilities inevitable
- Without appropriate
storage opportunities further expansion of renewable energies is
forced to slow down, which already happens at some points. For
example on times of
overcapacity wind farms are shut down in order to prevent blackouts
as the production becomes too unreliable.
- Lithium is the
lightest metal with the highest potential due to its very reactive
behavior, which, in theory, makes it very fitting as a compound for
batteries. Just as the lead-acid and most other batteries the
Lithium-Ion battery by definition uses chemical reactions to release
electricity
- A lead-acid battery
usually has several in-series connected cells, each delivering 2
volts and each consisting several spongy pure lead cathodes,
positive loaded lead oxide anodes and a 20 –40 percent solution of
sulfuric acid that acts as an electrolyte. When discharged, both the
anode and the cathode undergo a chemical reaction with the
electrolyte that progressively changes them into lead sulfate that
releases electrical energy in the process. This reaction can be
almost completely reversed by supplying the electrodes with
electricity, which is the reason a lead-acid battery can be
recharged
- Superconducting
Magnetic Energy Storage:At very low temperatures,
some materials lose every electric
resistance and thus become superconducting. The superconducting
magnetic storage system makes use of this phenomenon and stores
energy without almost any energy loss
- The typical solar
energy system includes solar panels, an inverter, equipment to mount
the panels on roof, and a performance monitoring system that
tracks electricity production. The solar panels collect energy from
the sun and turn it into electricity, which is passed through the
inverter and converted into a form that can be used to power
homes.
- Government of India
have number of support Institutions such as Solar Energy Corporation
of India through which Solar based enterprise activities are very
well promoted
