Why cities should move to all-electric or hybrid electric applications
As the world continues to urbanize, sustainable development depends on meeting the challenges of managing transportation, infrastructure and energy systems. To combat the vast population increase, areas such as Paris, Mexico City, the UK, and California, are all taking steps to move to hybrid and all-electric applications in place of diesel. This blog post looks at the different factors driving cities to move to all-electric applications and how battery operated applications are the future.
Lithium-ion batteries are an ideal energy storage solution that delivers a high energy and power mix, high cycle times and calendar life suited for virtually all modern electric applications, ranging from consumer electronics such as smartphones to electric transportation, all the way to large stationary grid-based energy storage systems. However, recent, isolated events within the battery community have cast a shadow on the lithium-ion battery industry. In reality, given current technological advances, lithium-ion batteries can offer one of the safest solutions available.
EnerDel, a leading manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion energy storage systems, is partnering with PlugVolt, a leader in fostering joint development of advanced battery and energy storage technologies, to host the July 2018 Battery Seminar in Plymouth, MI. The Seminar will take place July 17-19 with industry leaders, policy decision-makers, key stakeholders, and technical experts meeting to learn and discuss the latest industry updates and trends for automotive and grid/utility applications.
