Curtain up for a visionary project: The decisive second SolarImpulse aircraft has now been completed. The plane, which is to be thefirst to travel around the world entirely without fuel in 2015, wasunveiled on Wednesday in Payerne, Switzerland.
Electrovaya Inc. announced that it has delivered its next generation of prototype battery packs to Dongfeng Motors (DFM) in China. DFM, a leading Chinese automaker, is embarked on a major electric vehicle program, which includes two electric vehicle platforms.
The lithium-ion battery business is growing rapidly to many tens of billions of dollars yearly, thanks to billions of dollars continuing to be invested in the industry. Their use is widening well beyond e-readers, tablets, laptops and mobile phones with vehicles being particularly important for the future; mainly hybrid electric and pure electric vehicles by land, water and air. Many suppliers are collapsing while Tesla with Panasonic is about to out invest the leaders.
Toshiba Corporation today announced that it has delivered battery energy storage systems integrating the company’s SCiB™, an innovative lithium-ion secondary battery to Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc., for a demonstration project to expand introduction of renewable energy sources on remote islands.
Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) nearly doubled in 2013, but most won't take you farther than 100 miles on one charge. To boost their range toward a tantalizing 300 miles or more, researchers are reporting new progress on a "breathing" battery that has the potential to one day replace the lithium-ion technology of today's EVs. They presented their work at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society.
Eos Energy Storage today announced plans to ramp up manufacturing with the support of a $1 million award from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). This funding follows recent announcement of Eos’s manufacturing partnership with Incodema—an Ithaca, NY-based manufacturer and full-service rapid prototyping company—to begin MW-scale production of the company’s safe, low-cost zinc hybrid cathode (ZnythTM) battery technology.
Toshiba Corporation today announced that it has delivered battery energy storage systems integrating the company's SCiB™, an innovative lithium-ion secondary battery to Kyushu Electric Power Co., Inc., for a demonstration project to expand introduction of renewable energy sources on remote islands.
Tesla Motors sent shock waves through a myriad of different industries as it announced that, along with partner Panasonic, the Company would build a Lithium Ion battery factory by 2017. Not only will the Giga Factory dominate the battery market with 500k batteries produced annually slated for 2020, it will also reduce the cost by some 30%.
Industrial-scale solar energy and hydrogen technologies are important elements of a sustainable energy supply. Demand for efficient battery cells and battery systems as energy storage devices is growing. ThyssenKrupp System Engineering, a subsidiary of engineering specialist ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions, has now been commissioned by the energy research center Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) in Ulm, Germany, to design and build a fully automated pilot line for the formation of lithium-ion-based battery cells.
Saft, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of advanced technology batteries for industry, has been awarded a contract from ECO-H Technologies, Inc. for the delivery of the first Intensium® Flex Li-ion battery system to power and store energy for the ECO-H System. This initial contract will lead to other potential system deliveries upon success.
