Assessing the value of battery energy storage in future power grids

MIT and Princeton University researchers find that the economic value of storage increases as variable renewable energy generation (from sources such as wind and solar) supplies an increasing share of electricity supply, but storage cost declines are needed to realize full potential.

When the chemical industry met modern architecture

MIT graduate student Jessica Varner has explored how the chemical industry wooed the building and construction industry with new synthetic materials at the turn of the 20th century. The result, she writes in her dissertation, was “one of the most successful, and toxic, material transformations in modern history.”

Covid-19 shutdown led to increased solar power output

Shutdowns in response to the Covid-19 pandemic have resulted in lowered air pollution levels around the world. Researchers at MIT, and in Germany and Singapore have found that this resulted in a significant increase in the output from solar photovoltaic installations in Delhi, normally one of the world’s smoggiest cities.

Stiffer roadways could improve truck fuel efficiency

Map shows the potential reductions in overall greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, state by state, that could be achieved by policies emphasizing the use of stiffer road surfaces. The greatest potential gains are seen across the southern part of the country.

Solar energy farms could offer second life for electric vehicle batteries

An MIT study shows that electrical vehicle batteries could have a useful and profitable second life as backup storage for grid-scale solar photovoltaic installations, where they could perform for more than a decade in this less demanding role. This image shows a ‘cut-away’ view of a lithium-ion battery over a background of cars and solar panels.

Transportation policymaking in Chinese cities

Using a novel methodology, MITEI researcher Joanna Moody and Associate Professor Jinhua Zhao uncovered patterns in the development trends and transportation policies of China’s 287 cities — including Fengcheng, shown here — that may help decision-makers learn from one another.
