how energy storage can change everything - residential energy storage

A few years ago, as part of an international project, I listed the biggest problems the world will face in the next 50 years, including food and drinking water shortages.
Then I looked at what was needed to solve all of these issues and I came to an interesting conclusion.
One common thread connecting all solutions is energy.
As populous countries like China and India continue to grow into economic powers, rural poor people around the world will increasingly turn to an urbanised environment and seek a better lifestyle.
They will seek ways to climb the economic ladder, so there will be greater pressure on our global resources.
It is estimated that nearly 1 billion people will transition from poverty to poverty.
Middle class in the next five to eight years.
Although I will classify it as a soft trend, something may happen --
Not the future.
This is likely to occur, as the underlying assumptions of this soft trend are well studied.
Like all trends, there are both problems and opportunities. to shape a positive future, it is important to see and plan both.
One of the key strategies to actively shape a positive future, which I shared in the New York Times bestseller Flash Foresight: How to see things that are invisible and do things that are impossible ,-
Solve tomorrow's foreseeable problems today.
That being said, let's go back to my research and show that the energy is pre-
Solve our biggest problems in the future.
When we focus on how to make use of traditional and new renewable sources in new ways, we can help to eliminate the resource issues that affect most parts of today and tomorrow.
Whether you use traditional or advanced farming techniques to make the slightly salty water a drinking water or to sow it, you need energy to do so.
Of course, we are an energy source.
Independent society since the Industrial Revolution-
But today, as our global data continues to flourish, the concept becomes more real.
If we want to maintain our way of life, our only option is to improve the way we deal with energy.
One of the biggest problems with producing electricity is that we basically have to use it or lose it.
The new renewable energy technologies we are looking forward to will help us reduce our global carbon footprint. -
Including all solar energyand wind-
Using the company-
All of this depends on the environment itself to generate energy.
When the wind is weakened or the cloud coverage is severe, the power generated is reduced, and when conditions are perfect, we often generate more power than we can use.
The same problem applies to more traditional forms of energy, whether it be nuclear power, hydropower or fossil fuels.
Now, most energy
Management technology can basically balance our load on resources. -
For example, when we go to work in the morning, the energy usage in residential areas falls collectively, while the energy usage in industrialized areas rises to 5 or 6 p. m.
When we go home
One of the keys to solving this problem is size.
Scale energy storage.
A few years ago, when Elon Musk first announced plans to build a multi-billion-dollar battery manufacturing plant in the United States, I wrote this article.
At the time, the Wall Street Journal issued a stern critical analysis of Musk's decision, saying it was impossible for him to sell enough Tesla cars to return such a large investment.
I wrote down the article and wrote a blog for Musk's defense: saying that the Wall Street Journal is short-sighted;
They don't understand what Musk is doing, thinking that the factory will serve Tesla, he is doing something bigger, creating a way to store energy, and in the process, in numbers
About ten years ago, I spoke to delegates from utilities around the world (
About 10,000 people)
I told them about the energy storage.
I asked, "What happens if we start using the electric vehicle itself as an energy storage solution?
"There was a hybrid car at the time, although it was less than it is now, and the electric car was just getting started.
I said: "At some point in the future, if we have enough people driving electric cars, energy can flow in two directions and cars can be used to store energy;
They can be used to help power the household, or they can be used as a power grid to keep the energy supply in the city and in the country as a whole.
"The concept is no longer as futuristic as it was a decade ago.
In fact, we can now use this technology to turn our electric vehicles into part of our state grid.
Imagine intelligent technology. -
The combination of software and modern hardware-
Can build an intelligent, two
The way the car flows between the power grid it connects to in order to charge.
This technology will determine the charging mechanism of your car and effectively allocate energy when it is fully charged or does not require charging.
For example, suppose you know that after a full day in the office, you will be off work at 5.
If it takes less time to charge your car than you spend in the office, then the charging process is not completely effective.
If you can program your car to charge yourself first and then distribute its power to the grid until it's close to when you get off work, it'll charge you home again before?
Elon Musk is indeed a spoiler of innovation.
When competing automakers said a few years ago that Tesla could not charge as fast as refueling, Musk proved them wrong by modifying the design of the battery, so Tesla can quickly replace the battery like charging a gasoline-powered car.
Why can't we use hybrid cars other than pure electric cars as batteries?
There are many more hybrid cars on the road than electric cars.
Can we use large hybrid car batteries in the same way?
Another aspect we haven't considered for hybrid cars is how we use them when the batteries are no longer strong enough.
Of course, cars won't exist forever, but hybrid batteries have a much longer shelf life than ships carrying them.
These batteries usually require about 80% of the capacity to function properly;
When they fall below this position, they are not available in a hybrid-
However, they can be recycled to power other things like home and industrial facilities.
Just recently, GM began using the aging Chevrolet V 5 battery to power the new data center in Milford, the CT test site.
What if companies like Toyota or Ford started their own experiments?
What if all hybrid and electric car manufacturers started adding storage space to our state grid with their old batteries?
What if all of these electric and hybrid automakers gathered together to create the industry?
The standard intelligent technology will promote two
Energy flows from cars to power grids that power cities around the world, and develops best practices for recycling and utilizing old hybrids and electric vehicle batteries?
Digital disruption is happening around us.
One of the principles I would like to share in my presentation is: if it is OK, it will be--
If you don't, someone else will.
No matter how much your company is worth, no matter how old it is, no matter how deeply rooted you are in your industry, you will be disrupted.
It's better to join in and disrupt yourself and your industry and be a vandal.
Today's energy giants have the potential to maintain their competitive edge while doing so while improving the sustainability of our species.
If they do not, there will be an updated, more efficient organization to replace them.
