Energy Management

Thousands of retired lithium-ion cells that once propelled autonomous vehicles across city streets are now finding a second, more stationary purpose beneath the expansive Texas sky. As the energy landscape shifts toward renewable sources, the question of what to do with "expired" electric vehicle

By utilizing Demand Side Analytics for optimization, PG&E aims to demonstrate that decentralized energy can serve as a fast and scalable alternative to fossil fuel generation. This initiative represents a pivotal moment in the transition toward a more resilient electrical infrastructure, especially

Christopher Hailstone has spent decades at the intersection of energy management and grid reliability, navigating the complex transition from centralized power plants to a decentralized, resilient future. As a utilities expert, he has seen firsthand how the pulse of the electric grid shifts under

The global banana industry remains a powerhouse of the international agricultural sector, yet it carries a significant environmental footprint that often goes overlooked during the shipment of millions of tons of fruit. Co-digestion of urban food waste and banana residues creates a stable

Supercapacitors can withstand over one million charge-discharge cycles without significant degradation, making them an ideal high-speed buffer for lithium-ion battery packs. This technical reality has paved the way for a new era of energy management where researchers at the National Institute of

A major step toward the commercialization of round-the-clock power sources has been achieved by creating a system that harvests energy from both the sun and indoor bulbs. This breakthrough addresses one of the most persistent challenges in renewable energy: the intermittent nature of ambient light.
