REASON BATTERIES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE RENEWABLE ENERGY TRANSITION

While renewable energy provides clean, sustainable power that emits little to no carbon emissions, its intermittency has long been an issue. Often criticized for not having the same base load capabilities as coal, natural gas or nuclear, renewable energy has lacked the ability to provide a constant source of energy. Furthermore, the dominance of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) has rested on the mileage of their electric counterparts  until recently.

Base load energy usually refers to the minimum power generation capability of a certain energy source, whereby it is able to produce the minimum amount of energy required by a power grid at any given time without interruption. For example, coal, nuclear, or natural gas power plants are able to assure base load power as long as there is fuel to burn, while the intermittency of renewables has always raised questions as to their reliability as a major energy source. However, as sustainable energy sources have become cheaper to implement and technological advances in power storage have revolutionized the electronics industry, there is a new debate regarding the concept of base load energy when it comes to renewables.

In recent years, the need for a centralized power source that can provide energy to an entire grid has become less persistent. A diversified energy portfolio and decentralized energy grid has become more desirable, evident in some parts of the world, like South Australia and several German regions shutting down coal-fired power plants that usually provided base load support in favor of renewable energy. Base load energy is no longer a necessity for a modern electrical grid, and even if it was, large scale batteries are making them redundant. In addition to providing energy storage for a range of electronic devices we use in our daily lives, lithium-ion batteries power electric vehicles (EVs) as well as both micro and macro energy grids.
These batteries have given renewable power the ability to provide base load energy, and have eliminated the last major argument against a transition away from fossil fuels.

Lithium batteries have solved the intermittency issues revolving around renewable energy and provided EVs with a simple, effective way of storing a vast amount of energy while also reducing the need for consistent base load power from a singular source. Lithium-ion batteries along with sustainable energy are set to power a new era. To mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, a renewable energy transition is key. For that to happen, renewable energy needs a reliable storage medium which batteries provide.

POWERING A SAFER FUTURE WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY Energy is at the heart of the climate challenge and key to the solution. A large chunk of the greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap the sun’s heat are generated through energy production, by burning fossil fuels to generate electricity and heat. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and gas, are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions. The science is clear: to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, emissions need to be reduced by almost half by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050.To achieve this, we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels and invest in alternative sources of energy that are clean, accessible, affordable, sustainable, and reliable. Renewable energy sources which are available in abundance all around us, provided by the sun, wind, water, waste, and heat from the Earth – are reple...

  HOW TO CHOSE THE RIGHT INVERTER AND BATTERY FOR YOUR HOME  Are you planning to buy a new inverter or upgrade your old one? Whatever maybe the reason, it is very important to understand what is the right inverter for your home. The power requirement at your home can be different from you neighbor’s home. So do not just blindly install the same inverter (in terms of power) in your home. Before buying an inverter for your home do a little homework and understand the basics. First understand your Power Requirement  One of the most important factor that you must know before buying an inverter is your “Power requirement”. In simple words, what all electrical appliances like fan, tube lights, television, etc, you want to run at the time of power failure. The power requirement is addition of the power consumed by various electrical equipment. Suppose you want 3 Fans, 3 Tube lights, 1 fluorescent and    1 television to operate at the time of power failure....
