But when tightly packed lines of turbines face the wind on wind farms, wakes from upstream generators can interfere with those downstream. Like a speedboat slowed by choppy water from a boat…
Stanford researchers develop water-based battery to store wind & solar power
Stanford scientists have developed a manganese-hydrogen battery that could fill a missing piece in the nation’s energy puzzle by storing wind and solar energy, lessening the need to burn carbon-emitting fossil fuels. This article comes from the Stanford News, and is authored by Tom Abate. Read the full version here. Stanford researchers have developed a […]
