Hidden cost of batteries: new issue of Future Power Technology out now

In this issue: solar, battery energy storage, floating wind, grid digitalisation and EU and US elections

Jackie Park August 05 2024

In this issue, we highlight Ambient Photonics’ revolutionary solar cells, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional batteries for consumer electronics. We take an exclusive look into the promising future of sodium-ion batteries, poised to transform long-duration energy storage with their cost-effective and efficient design, as revealed by AI-based patent analysis. 

We address the technical challenges of floating offshore wind turbines, a vital yet complex solution to wind energy’s spatial constraints. Accenture’s utilities lead Andrea Falciai shares insights from a study on the digital transformation of European DSOs, outlining the potential of grid digitalisation. 

Moving on to the electoral domain, we examine the shift in EU energy priorities following the recent European Parliament elections, to be exemplified by the automotive industry, and discuss the likely impact of the upcoming US presidential election on the nation’s carbon capture and storage industry. 

Read all this and more news and insights from the global power industry at Future Power Technology.
