Alternative Energy Storage Systems

Grignard chemistry was used as an alternative to hydroboration reaction by the Chujo team in its search for new n-type conjugated polymers for utilization in polymer energy storage systems. By this route, the syntheses of 7r-conjugated poly(p-phenylene-boranes) (15)35 (Fig. 12) and poly(ethynylene-phenylene-ethynylene-borane)s were reported.36... 

In this section, the main characteristics of alternative electrical energy storage systems, such flywheels and super capacitors, are described, as these devices might play an important role in the development of vehicles powered by electric propulsion systems. 

Under low-temperature conditions, the battery will rarely achieve a full SoC. In fact, the specifications laid down in the various standards do not represent the duty the SLI battery has to serve in a modern automobile. For advanced vehicle electrical systems, which may be a motivation for new battery technologies like the VRLA, it is essential to know the expected operating condition in order to evaluate alternative energy-storage technologies.

As research efforts on several alternative energy storage options reach developmental plateaus, hybridization of various technologies has been increasingly taking place to offer an acceptable system solution. 

The exploitation of alternative and green energy sources, such as solar, wind and geothermal, requires the side support of energy storage systems that can compensate their intermittent characteristic. It is now generally accepted that among various possible choices, the most suitable are...
