| Scientists create new battery that's cheap, clean, rechargeable ... and organic Posted: 25 Jun 2014 10:26 AM PDT Scientists have developed a rechargeable battery that is all organic and could be scaled up easily for use in power plants where it can make the energy grid more resilient and efficient by creating a large-scale means to store energy for use as needed. The batteries could pave the way for renewable energy sources to make up a greater share of the nation's energy generation.  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2014 07:16 AM PDT To be viable, wind farms, power plants and other energy technologies should deliver more energy than they consume. Net energy analysis allows researchers to evaluate the long-term sustainability of a technology by comparing how much energy it produces over its lifetime with the energy required to build and maintain it, say scientists.  |
| New study uses blizzard to measure wind turbine airflow Posted: 24 Jun 2014 11:24 AM PDT A first-of-its-kind study using snow during a Minnesota blizzard is giving researchers new insight into the airflow around large wind turbines. This research is essential to improving wind energy efficiency, especially in wind farms where airflows from many large wind turbines interact with each other.  |
