Der Schienenverkehr in Deutschland fährt bereits heute zu einem Großteil elektrisch (~90% der Verkehrsleistung auf ~60% elektrifizierten Strecken). Für eine vollständige Defossilisierung sind jedoch auch für die verbliebenen 10% Fahrleistung Lösungen von Nöten. Aufgrund der lokalen...

Der Schienenverkehr in Deutschland fährt bereits heute zu einem Großteil elektrisch (~90% der Verkehrsleistung auf ~60% elektrifizierten Strecken). Für eine vollständige Defossilisierung sind jedoch auch für die verbliebenen 10% Fahrleistung Lösungen von Nöten. Aufgrund der lokalen...

Widening access to clean, reliable electricity is one of the greatest challenges to sustainable development in Africa. Energy storage, particularly batteries, will be critical in supporting Africa's progress to full energy access by 2030, enabling off-grid and on-grid electrification. But the...

Cost reductions of rooftop photovoltaics and battery storage, increasing retail electricity prices as well as falling feed-in remuneration provide strong incentives for many German households to engage in self-consumption. These developments may also affect the electricity system as a whole....

Facing climate change, The European Union has set ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Within Europe, heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) account for a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector and therefore plays a central role in achieving the climate targets. A potential...

This work studies the role of socio-economic and geospatial factors in shaping battery electric vehicle adoption for the case study of Ireland. It provides new insights on the level and timing of likely adoption at scale using a Bass diffusion model combined with a spatial model. The Bass model...

The recent advances in battery technology and reductions in battery costs have brought battery energy storage systems (BESS) to the point of becoming increasingly cost-effective projects to serve a range of power sector interventions, especially when combined with PV and where diesel is the...

The call for urgent action to address climate change and develop more sustainable modes of energy delivery is generally recognized. It is also apparent that batteries, both in the transportation and the power sectors, need to play a predominant role if the global community is to limit global...

Li-ion batteries are used in battery-powered vehicles, but also in power tools and consumer electronics. Due to the challenges posed by climate change and the increasing penalties for CO2 emissions, battery-powered electric vehicles are regarded as one of the solutions. Modern lithium-ion...

Optimal sizing with energy management strategy as a transition pathway towards a sustainable 100% renewable energy-based microgrid is investigated in this paper. Due to the challenges of intermittency of renewable energy, microgrid operations are complicated. Hence, in order to overcome some of...

The variability and intermittency of light intensity, caused by cloud movement and weather conditions, can create fluctuation in the photovoltaic (PV) power generation. In a microgrid with a high PV penetration, these can affect severe microgrid voltage fluctuation problem. However, the battery...

In this work, the layered compound of LiCo0.525Ni0.475O2, (LCNO) was prepared by self-propagating combustion reaction for the cathode of lithium-ion battery. We used self-propagating combustion reaction to prepare the compound of LiCo0.525Ni0.475O2, (LCNO) as a cathode material of lithium-ion...

We assess how the design of retail prices, network charges and levies for household prosumers affect the attractiveness and resulting operation of small-scale photovoltaic battery storage systems (PVBSS), using a detailed modeling approach applied to a case study of six households in Germany....

We develop a dynamic competitive equilibrium model of battery adoption and operations to evaluate the social value and adoption trajectory of utility-scale batteries and examine policy counterfactuals. The first battery unit breaks even in 2027 when renewable energy share reaches 52% and...

This study examines the effect of a tightening of the U.S. air-quality standard for lead in 2009 on the relocation of battery recycling to Mexico and on infant health in Mexico. In the U.S., airborne lead dropped sharply near affected plants, most of which were battery-recycling plants. Exports...

With increasing number of installations of photovoltaic (PV) systems and lower equipment costs, the subsidies dedicated to residential PV systems are reduced in many countries. Instead of the subsidies for selling PV electricity, prospectively self-consumption is the key parameter for the...

Energy generation is one of the major challenges that we are facing today. People are using rechargeable batteries to save money and the environment. The present study was conducted to identify the antecedents to green loyalty

I närheten av Skellefteälvens mynning händer något unikt: Sverige står, drygt hundra år efter att den första Volvon rullade ur fabriken, inför en ny industrirevolution. Företaget Northvolt och tidigare Teslachefen Peter Carlsson siktar med 40 miljarder i investeringar på att ta en...
