Editor’s note: This article was written by Leah Burrows of Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Science. Researchers at the university have discovered organic molecules that can store energy (say, from wind power) in flow batteries. Check out the video here. The new research is also published in Nature Energy. Harvard researchers have identified a…
Reconsidering the upper limits of wind power
This article comes from EurekaAlert in which a Harvard researcher suggests a real-world limit to the generating capacity of wind farms and that it has been overestimated despite its enormity. “People have often thought there’s no upper bound for wind power—that it’s one of the most scalable power sources,” says Harvard applied physicist David Keith.…
