Cow dung batteries, a beautiful electric moped, car charging in parking lots, large truck charging, and balcony solar energy storage at Europes largest solar energy trade fair, which is taking place in Munich until today. Intersolar, the solar energy trade fair running until today in Munich, showcases a wide range of energy storage, charging, and mobility technologies, offering a wide selection of companies including solar modules, racks, and inverters. Anker Solix has launched an energy storage solution designed to complement balcony solar installations; however, its scalability demonstrates that the company is looking far beyond the balcony. The company has launched a 3.6 kW battery system that comes with 2,688 kWh of storage and can add four more batteries, while managing an input from up to eight solar panels. The unit features intelligent energy-charging software to maximize the economic benefit of the system, allowing you to reduce your return on investment. Whats most interesting is that the system can handle up to 14.4 kW of solar energy, 65.5 kWh of energy storage, and a power output of 4.8 kW. Obviously, no one is going to put 14 kW of solar energy on their balcony, which tells us that Ankeräss aspirations go far beyond the balcony. AmpSociety is now in its fifth generation of car charging equipment. This version is specifically designed to charge up to 53 cars in a single unit in parking garages, and limits trenching by keeping the copper inside the unit rather than in the ground, which in itself is quite creative. Most interestingly, the kit is highly modular, with a total of five unique components. The hardware maxes out at 63 amps and allows for a maximum charging rate of 22 kW. The software considers vehicle timing requirements to account for the very cold climate of Scandinavia, which is AmpSocietys home. The Romanian-designed Astreea electric scooter is absolutely gorgeous, and you have to see it in person to truly appreciate its curves and touches. This author took it for a quick spin and found it easy to ride and wonderfully agile upon takeoff. The battery is removable for easy indoor charging. The unit can travel up to 60 km on a single charge and reaches its top speed of 45 km/h fairly quickly. The 45 kg unit was easily moved by hand. The company plans to launch the unit in the US in the coming months. They are also designing a unit (below) capable of use on a golf course. Yesterday, CATL launched a new battery capable of storing 9 MWh of energy in the space of a standard shipping container. The unit uses a 565 Ah battery cell for storage. The technician on the stand said key innovations in the unit include the cooling unit being located on top of the battery, allowing heat to escape directly upwards, rather than through the sides, allowing for more densely packed units. Additionally, the company is very pleased with the new sensor array, which allows for faster detection of gas and temperature changes. The unit uses the companys new Tener cells, which offer minimal degradation over the first five years. Evermore aims to reduce the cost of anode binder material by using cow dung to produce carbon. The company specifically says the cows must eat grass to power the process. The company hopes to reduce the cost of the material by 50% while taking advantage of the cows digestion process, which is more environmentally friendly than traditional commercial methods. Evermore is working toward a possible final product next year. Rolls-Royce is designing energy storage systems and experimenting with small modular nuclear reactors. But most importantly, theyve rolled out a beautiful Lego renewable energy set that showcases their extensive investment in wind, solar, and hydrogen, but with a strong focus on energy storage. |
