It's amazing how the simplest ideas can often lead to the most groundbreaking innovations. Take Energy Vault, for instance. This Swiss startup is transforming the energy storage game by constructing facilities that raise and lower hefty 24-ton bricks made from compressed dirt to store and release energy. This ingenious method could redefine our electric grid, making it more sustainable and resilient, while also significantly reducing the cost of energy storage. It's going to be exciting to see this game-changer power up the renewable energy sector. After all, who knew dirt could be so illuminating? #themoreyouknow 🌈💫 More ✨ Token Wisdom ⤵ https://lnkd.in/gkMNK8u7 #energyvault #energystorage #compresseddirtbricks #renewableenergy #gravitystoragesystem $NRGV

Technology is such an interesting term, technology is a tool that #transcends all industries. My #humble #observation is that deeper levels of #technology adoption make industries grow faster in today's day and age. I am fascinated to be learning about the #renewable energy space. The #energy industry has huge #goals to meet and it looks like companies are in it to win it. https://lnkd.in/e87pwmRu

A battery using liquid tin and Guinness World Record-holding technology to store energy at "almost half the sun's temperature" has received $19m in funding from Bill Gates' energy innovation vehicle. The system converts renewable energy to heat, or thermal energy, which can be stored until needed. The battery heats liquid tin and moves it through a piping system to heat stacks of carbon blocks until they glow white hot. When power is needed, the system uses thermophotovoltaic cells to turn the light emitted by the glowing white hot plumbing system into electricity.

Ocean energy technologies harness the power of tides and waves, as well as differences in temperature and salinity, to produce electricity. The energy is clean, renewable and has the potential to provide 10% of Europe’s current electricity needs by 2050. In addition, a strong ocean energy industry will yield many economic benefits, from local jobs to global export opportunities. https://lnkd.in/eBRrz5Ne

👏 Great article from Freya Pratty about Grid Tech and the urgent need to help the electricity system manage the energy transition. Battery energy storage will be a great enabler to automate demand side response, deliver flexibility when it's most needed, while also helping alleviate constraints at the grid-edge. 🔋 That's why Allye is focused on building a compelling proposition around energy storage as a service, smart intelligent assets that seamlessly integrate with the end user and the grid to decarbonise, save money and increase flexibility. Think of us as 'the netflix for energy storage', automated and personalised, with technology that is simple and intuitive for the user and the grid. #energystorage #batteries #energytransition #gridtech

Can orchestration help Distributed Energy Resources (DER) become the hero in meeting net zero? Given the challenges to rolling out large-scale generation and transmission projects, investments to accelerate DER uptake and orchestration could make DER the hero in meeting net zero. The EY Net Zero Centre Energy Infrastructure Executive Briefing Series explores three critical levers for Australia to pull to drive the net zero transition and create new value for consumers, businesses and our nation.

We're moving away from a 'baseload' model of energy supply to something more dynamic and flexible. This is especially true in Germany, where the focus has shifted towards empowering consumers and households to control their energy demands more efficiently. Why does this matter? Well, this transition is not just about phasing out fossil fuels; it's also about how we can leverage digital technologies to better balance supply and demand in real-time. This is particularly crucial given the rise of renewable energy and the challenges of integrating it into the existing grid. However, there's a catch. The transition requires a new kind of expertise that many traditional utilities may not have. Digital transformation is not just a buzzword; it's a necessity for staying relevant and efficient in this rapidly changing landscape. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Are we ready for this transformation? What are the tech expertise gaps you see, especially in the German market? #EnergyTrading #DigitalTransformation #RenewableEnergy #Germany

Renewable energy is becoming a grid nightmare. The "green rush" is costing both utility providers and their end users a lot of green ( 💲 ). Our latest Intelligence Brief moves past the hype and looks at real world challenges and solutions of the renewable energy surge.
