Liquid Metal Battaries - Abdallah Mteir
Description:
R&D of the Storage system as a special case the Liquid Metal Batteries (Ambre Battery), one of the major the missing factors which stops the world from being transformed totally to renewable resources of energy is the lack of efficient energy storage system, right now a new company called the Ambre are researching the Liquid metal battery which seems quite promising, that we soon will have a new reliable source that can store a lot of energy in order to support the full transform to the Renewable Energy Resources, nowadays most of the energy produced is consumed so not much energy are left for storage about 17 GW only being stored, the future should have more energy storage for long term goals like the Liquid Metal Batteries which already being tested right now.
Enablers:
Solid-state batteries are more safety than lithium-ion batteries and can charge fast safely and have a lot more capacity, with the same size, one important point is that a solid-state battery will have more than 90% capacity after 5000 charging cycles compared to 500 charges for the lithium-ion, so we will have 10 times longer battery life compared to Li-ion batteries.
Inhibitors:
The price which is almost 8 times higher than the Li-ion batteries but according to experts in about 5-7 years we will have similar prices for solid-state batteries as the NMC cell costs.
Paradigms:
nowadays, a lot of storage systems are not reliable and cant be trusted to store the energy for a long time, so we will have a new way of storing energy which will be having big capacity with a smaller size and much longer lifetime
Experts:
Wikipedia Tesla Samsung
Timing:
in five years all of the energy storage systems will be changed once we got a good price for the Solid-state batteries.
