Energy storage photovoltaic news

Is energy storage a viable resource for future power grids?

With declining technology costs and increasing renewable deployment, energy storage is poised to be a valuable resource on future power grids—but what is the total market potential for storage technologies, and what are the key drivers of cost-optimal deployment?

Are flexible organic photovoltaics and energy storage systems the future of wearable electronics?

Flexible organic photovoltaics and energy storage systems have profound implications for future wearable electronics. Here, the authors discuss the transformative potential and challenges associated with the integrative design of these systems for energy harvesting.

Do photovoltaic devices suffer from unavoidable open circuit voltage losses?

Photovoltaic devices suffer from unavoidable open circuit voltage losses. Here, authors design a photo-ferroelectric 2D/3D/2D perovskite junction with 2D ferroelectric single crystals in bulk, resulting in an electric field and achieving a net gain in device open circuit voltage reaching 1.21 V.

Can NREL's capacity expansion model accurately represent diurnal battery energy storage?

For this work, researchers added new capabilities to NREL’s Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) capacity expansion model to accurately represent the value of diurnal battery energy storage when it is allowed to provide grid services—an inherently complex modeling challenge.
