Mooney, C. (2015, November 9). This could be the biggest sign yet that the battery revolution is here. Retrieved November 20, 2015, from https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/11/09/this-could-be-the-biggest-sign-yet-that-the-battery-revolution-is-here/
This article is about how a company in California, called Advanced Microgrid Solutions is making “hybrid electric buildings.” These are buildings that use large batteries about the size of a parking space to store extra renewable energy. This is supposed to help change how we use renewable energy such as wind energy. This saves companies money by using this stored renewable energy, when energy prices are particularly high.
This article is very important to environmental science in the future. It can help to store more renewable energy and save companies money on their wind power. I think that this is a great new innovation that can help to power our companies in California and elsewhere with wind energy.
I agree, this sounds like a great innovation! This reminds me of a product that Tesla recently developed – they modified their electric car batteries into a separate household product that either draws electricity from the power grid during the off-peak hours (when electricity costs less) or from your home’s solar panels, and then stores it until you want to use it.
That’s so cool!
I’m amazed by this groundbreaking technological advancement. I wonder if these renewable energy storing batteries will spread throughout California, or maybe even nation wide.
Hopefully they will, thanks for commenting!
I completely agree with the views of this article. I think it would be very beneficial to turn to wind energy on a larger scale to power our companies.
