Renewable energy storage solutions


Our life is based on energy. whatever we do, wherever we go, we always consume energy.
In our century, with the amount of electrical gadgets we use, it is impossible to imagine our lives without power. The power that we use to connect to each other, to learn, to entertain, to work, to do anything we are capable of. That power of course needs to be stored somewhere. That is why the question of energy storage is very important.
How can we achieve better use of power devices to make our life easier, but maximize sustainability. Nowadays, energy is widely generated from renewable sources like solar, water and wind energies. 1/4 of the energy comes from the renewable sources. However the energy has to be stored for the times when there is less wind, or during the night.
The redox batteries developed by scientists to keep the energy levels constantly available.

The new battery was presented in April and it was upgraded to store a much greater amount of energy and increase its efficiency by 80%
The way the battery works is pretty simple. Basically, the cell stores energy in the electrolyte solution. The energy is accumulated through a chemical process, when the electrolytes circulate through the cell. they are extremely cost effective and durable.
