Feeding better battery storage with the energy produced by
cleaner energy storage like solar panels and wind turbines is not a
new idea. However, are good ideas enough? Or could AI be the answer
to unlocking the true value of the next generation of solar and
energy innovations?
When one looks at energy storage systems, the main technologies
involved can be boiled down to:
Batteries (whether they are flow or solid-state
batteries)
Flywheels
Compressed air energy storage
Thermal energy
Pumped hydropower
There are of course many different and novel inventions powering
these options. However, despite their sophistication and
efficiency, they are ultimately ‘dumb’ machines in that
they are unable to:
Optimise their operational…
