Nissan to incorporate used Leaf batteries in home energy storage system

Nissan to incorporate used Leaf batteries in home energy storage system

affordable energy storage?

Plans call for the energy storage units to first be used at a Nissan facility in California later this summer, to help offset peak energy demand. Once they become available for purchase in the fourth quarter of this year, it is hoped that corporate and private consumers will also use the batteries with renewable sources such as wind and solar.

According to Nissan, this is the first time that used EV batteries have been commercially utilized for such an application. "A lithium-ion battery from a Nissan Leaf still holds a great deal of value as energy storage, even after it is removed from the vehicle, so Nissan expects to be able to reuse a majority of Leaf battery packs in non-automotive applications," says Brad Smith, director of Nissan's 4R Energy business in the US.

Smart windows can be tuned for privacy, while still letting the light shine through - Images

interesting idea for retrofits and new construction?
The glass panels that let light into our homes and offices have been seen as huge windows of opportunity for engineers in recent times. If the amount of light pouring through can be managed throughout the day, it could lessen reliance on energy-sapping air conditioner units, for instance. This has led to a number of examples of smart facades that keep interior spaces from overheating, and some that even harvest energyfor lights and ventilation. But a new tunable window-tinting technology is claimed to do things the smart glass before it cannot, by allowing users control over brightness, color temperature and opacity.
