The team discovered a groundbreaking increase in the storage capacity of water-based battery electrodes, an important step in the development of lithium-free batteries.
Texas A&M researchers found that reducing the energy load at strategic locations when supply is strained allows for a reduction in cost for the wholesale market.
Individuals who put strain on the power grid during peak times would pay more than those who relieve stress through the use of solar power or lower consumption.
It's the kind of issue that researchers at the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station's Smart Grid Center aim to prevent in the future by finding solutions for a more resilient power system.
