Researchers have for the first time demonstrated an organic battery. It is of a type known as a "redox flow battery", with a large capacity that can be used to store energy from wind turbines and solar cells, and as a power bank for cars.

Imagine a mobile phone charger that doesn't need a wireless or mains power source. Or a pacemaker with inbuilt organic energy sources within the human body. Researchers led are picking up the challenge of 'scavenging' invisible power from low-frequency vibrations in the surrounding environment, including wind, air or even contact-separation energy (static electricity).

As the high-speed railway linking London, Kent and the Channel Tunnel, HS1 are on track to becoming the first UK railway to run entirely on renewable energy.

Eight new solar projects spurred by state legislation encourages renewable energy investment and increases affordable access to clean power.

In this second article from IDTechEx, a more detailed analysis about the different chemistries will show the main RFB technologies currently available or under development, beginning with the most adopted and investigated Redox Flow Batteries (RFB), the Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries (VRFB).

Construction set to commence on Australia's largest grid-connected commercial microgrid of its kind by Planet Ark Power at IKEA Adelaide.

ARMOR solar power films achieved a record 26% efficiency in a low-light environment for the ASCA organic photovoltaic cell.

The technology group Wärtsilä has received a repeat energy storage system order totalling 90 MW / 90 MWh from an existing South East Asian customer. The solution will provide much needed flexibility and reliable grid support and will allow the further integration of energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind power.

In a landmark decision today, the New York Department of Public Service recognizes and valorizes hydropower as a clean and renewable energy source.

Rooftop solar photovoltaic plant at Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi will be operational by Q4 2021 and will deliver nearly 40 percent of the theme park's annual energy needs.

OG&E, the electric utility subsidiary of OGE Energy Corp. (NYSE: OGE), today announced that it has completed construction of two 5 MW solar energy farms in southeast Oklahoma. Both centers are operating at full capacity.

Xidas IoT is launching a new breed of self-charging batteries to minimize the battery-landfill dilemma by increasing the lifetime of the battery and reducing the times of replacement.

ORPC has concluded summer inspection and maintenance of its RivGen device, re-deployed it and resumed operations sending power to the Igiugig, Alaska, community grid. The project has achieved over 7 million revolutions of the marine hydrokinetic turbine to produce power during its 10 months of operation.

LG Chem, Korea's leading manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion batteries, has strengthened its partnership with global inverter manufacturer SolarEdge to offer the most advanced home backup solution to date with training for installers.

Large supercapacitors cost thousands of dollars. They save millions of dollars when preventing self-destruction as with pitch control of the blades of a wind turbine in a storm when the electrics fail.

This webinar will include an introduction to quantum dots; value propositions of quantum dots; integration methods of QDs for display applications; comparison of QDs and phosphors; and QDs for micro-LED displays.

Hybrid systems of floating solar panels and hydropower plants may hold the technical potential to produce a significant portion of the electricity generated annually across the globe.
