The Current National Grid
History of the Grid Britain had the beginnings of its national grid system in 1937, when a group of engineers connected a series of smaller electrical regional grids, in an effort to increase supply security and reduce overall electrical cost.…
Liquid Air Storage
Liquid air storage converts excess electricity into liquid air, which can then be released to make electricity.
Chemical Storage
Large batteries can act as chemical energy storage for industry and could make future energy generation solutions more efficient and profitable.
Hydrogen Storage
Spare electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called electrolysis, which can then be combusted to produce power when needed.
Compressed Air Energy Storage
Spare Electricity within the grid is used to compress and store air under pressure, which can then be released on demand to make electricity.
Extended Range Electric Cars (E-REV) – Doing away with range anxiety
[Update: This blog was written in 2012. Since then, electric cars have evolved a lot; most now have ranges of between 150-300 miles.
