Toby Bond, CLS Senior Scientist and a PhD candidate at Dalhousie University, and colleagues used our synchrotron to study a new type of battery. The battery had been charging and discharging non-stop in a Halifax lab for more than six years. It lasted more than 20,000 cycles before it hit 80% of its original capacity. That translates to driving a jaw-dropping 8 million kilometers! "So, that's the kind of battery that would far outlast the lifetime of an EV and would be really useful for grid energy storage," says Bond. If you were to use up this battery's full charge once a day, it would last about 54 years, he explained.

Our recent paper, Assessing Fluctuating Wind to Hydrogen Production via Long-term Testing of Solid Oxide Electrolysis Stacks (#SOEC), has been published in Applied Energy. A 2104 h SOEC dynamic durability test was conducted on the TOPSOE TSP-1 stack. The stack shows robustness and high efficiency under fluctuating wind power conditions. Two flow control strategies were used to manage fluctuation: constant flow and constant conversion. Stack degradation and thermodynamic performance were analyzed for both strategies. Further, system simulations will be conducted to investigate how to cut green hydrogen costs through proper operation. Many thanks to Jens Høgh, Ph.D., Peter Blennow, @Xiufu Sun, Yi Zong, and Ming Chen for their valuable contributions to this paper. https://lnkd.in/dNHXuKui

Imperial Ph.D Candidate in System Services for the 100% Renewable Electricity Grid (ongoing)| Founder @ Guidetryb | Podcast Host of Energy Futures Lab Podcast
It was a great experience to sit with Professor Tim Green to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of energy systems, with a focus on grid co-design and the integration of renewable energy. Drawing from his vast and impeccable experience, Professor Green discusses: - The challenges of grid stability and system services in the absence of synchronous generators - The roles of grid forming and grid following inverters in modern grids - The sustainability strategy at Imperial College London - Insights on data-led stability analysis for inverter-dominated grids - The future of energy systems and the integration of variable renewable energy sources The discussion concludes with a series of quick-fire questions where Professor Green had to choose one among two “competing” technologies and make a case for it. The conversation was deliberately planned to vary in depth and technicality so it appeals to everyone with a superficial or deep interest in the area. You can listen here: https://lnkd.in/dMPg_Yft

Did you know that tens of thousands of megawatts of renewable energy projects are queued up waiting for interconnection studies that can take years? Chelsea Mattioda and Sophie Schadler talk about how to get these projects moving quickly by replacing existing coal generators that are retiring (44 GW of potential in SPP and MISO regions) and by using surplus interconnection capacity available at existing low use gas peakers (34 GW in SPP and MISO). Tapping into these opportunities has the potential to speed up clean capacity additions. Read the report. Watch the The Energy Nerd Show.

How can numerical modeling approach the ideal cooling loop conditions for floating photovoltaic (FPV) panels? I would like to share my latest article from last year's conference in Glasgow. The article presents a numerical model that I developed for the cooling loop system of FPV panels. This model includes radiation absorption, natural convection, heat conduction, and electrical power generation, which helps to understand and optimise the thermal performance of the system. Several tests were conducted to demonstrate the significance of each cooling element, ensuring the circulation of coolant due to buoyancy forces. The full article is now available online in the Springer Proceedings in Energy. https://lnkd.in/ecv8GM6g I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Hector Iacovides, Adel Nasser, Andrea Cioncolini, and Imran Afgan for their valuable guidance during the publication process.
