Long-duration energy storage holds the key to solar and wind power dominating the energy sector. This is because solar and wind energies are produced intermittently throughout the year, thus raising the need for complementary energy storage solutions to solve the intermittency conundrum. The most obvious energy storage systems to use would be the lithium-ion batteries since they are currently the main suppliers of new storage capacity. However, producing long-duration lithium-ion batteries would be so expensive that using them as wind and solar energy reservoirs would be counterproductive. For an energy storage solution to play the long-duration role, production must be achievable within an acceptable price

Many people are becoming more conscious of the environment and their carbon footprint. That’s why they’re constructing zero energy buildings. Buildings are no longer just about protecting people from the elements and sheltering them, but they’re fast becoming a means to generate clean sources of power. This power comes from renewable sources like solar, wind power, geothermal sources, biomass, and many more. This article discusses the case for zero energy buildings.

How to Achieve Net Zero Energy Buildings

Zero carbon buildings are passive and active structures that use renewable energy resources to generate all

As the world makes a push towards clean energy, Singapore is not lagging. There is an ambitious program to increase the share of clean energy in the next 5-10 years. It will wean the country off the current reliance on fuel energy. The switch is timely because most Singaporeans are aware of the disastrous effects of global warming caused by fuel energy. As residents in a region seeing more extreme weather incidents, Singaporeans are eager to see the switch to clean energy happen.

Why Energy Storage Systems Matter 

Renewable energy systems rely heavily on energy storage systems. Solar and wind energy are intermittent.
