Скачать или смотреть Battery Breakthrough: Energy Storage for a Sustainable Future

We explore innovative battery technology, focusing on conflict-free materials and daily cycling capabilities. Discover how our battery solutions enhance grid resilience and support sustainable energy practices, eliminating curtailment issues. Um, but, but, uh, but that said, you could take our battery up, and 30 days later, put a playground there. You know, that's a great question. I think the, when you go back to, um, 2008 when, when Steve Amendola started the company, he saw, he had a vision for, you know, where, um, storage, uh, the need was gonna come for in the, in the future. You know, e- probably, a- at the time, and there's, when you, when you take and you just take wind and solar and you're, you're grabbing that, that density of what, uh I'd read a stat one time on a plane that the sun delivered enough energy back to the earth every 2 minutes to meet all of mankind's demand for a year. Now-Whether that was true or not, I thought to myself, "And we only capture about 7% to 11% of that." Um, if you, if you could capture it and store it, um, you wouldn't have, uh, uh, businesses that need to go into curtailment or, or, or monitor their, uh, energy consumption from, from 2:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon, and they could carry on their business as normal. That curtailment would n- need to be storaged and then brought back to the grid when the demand was higher, even if we just stored it at night. So I, I think the vision was there, and then it was a lot of R&D to get to the place that we, we are today, and then to get commercially ramped. Um, I think the biggest thing I know, you know, Dennis and I talked about was, um, th- uh, w- not having any conflict materials, not having any cobalt or lithium inside of our battery, it does affect the density. Um, but, but, uh, but that said, you could take our battery up, and 30 days later, put a playground there. Um, and just that statement in and of itself, uh, along with the, uh, the thermal runway impedance really, really talks about, um, y- yeah, it's gonna be a little bit of a premium 0 over lithium. But when you take the rare earths, no-conflict materials out of it, uh, what decommissioning looks like, what recycling looks like, just with normal recycling processes at the end of life, um, those type things all, all really matter. And I think it was a, a vision of the, uh, the founders to really see, uh, this need and us to work alongside lithium, not, not trying to compete. You know, lithium's got its spots it's good in. Um, and we're good in, we're good in the spots that we're, you know, we're good in, whether it's arbitrage, or grid resiliency, or frequency adequacy, that type thing, or the curtailment to, to make sure we're not hearing from the, the utility or the off-taker that everybody's getting home from work, we're starting to peak. Um, the other big difference in our battery is it's meant to be a workhorse. It's, it's meant to work a- and cycle every day. It's not a load the, load the battery up and, and wait for the hurricane to hit, and then we've got energy, you know, for backup. It's meant to cycle. And because it has no calendar degradation, you can run this battery a second time in the afternoon and participate in those ancillary services for peak shifting and peak shaving, a little solar firming when everybody gets home from work, and it only counts as one cycle for the day.
