What is a stable power supply system?

The development of renewable power supply system is of great significance for regions that are rich in wind and solar energy resources. In this study, stable power systems consisting of solar, wind and LCES plant are proposed. Wind farm and PV panels act as power sources while the LCES plant is responsible for energy buffering and dispatch.

How does a solar power plant work?

The wind farm, electricity grid, electricity load and LCES power plant are directly connected with AC bus. The PV panels access to the AC bus through the inverter. In addition, a dump load is laid out to dissipate excess renewable power.

Can colloidal starch confine polyiodides under high temperature?

For the I x− permeability under high temperature of 50 °C (Supplementary Figs. 42 and 43), the colloidal starch could strongly confine the polyiodides by forming a colloidal aggregation featuring low I x− permeability to impede the cross-over issue even at a severe condition of high temperature.

How does colloidal chemistry affect iodine-starch catholytes?

Here, we develop colloidal chemistry for iodine-starch catholytes, endowing enlarged-sized active materials by strong chemisorption-induced colloidal aggregation. The size-sieving effect effectively suppresses polyiodide cross-over, enabling the utilization of porous membranes with high ionic conductivity.

Can a multiwalled carbon nanotube be used as a solar absorber?

Efficient utilization of solar energy can be achieved by integrating a solar absorber, phase change material, and Fresnel lens with thermoelectric generators. In this work, multiwalled carbon nanotubes are mixed with polydimethylsiloxane as a solar absorber and achieve up to 99% absorption of sunlight.

Does colloidal starch improve reversibility of a Zn anode?

The results could be attributed to the ultrasmall-sized colloidal starch that could cross the membrane to the anolyte and consequently stabilize the pH of the anolyte, hence endowing improved reversibility of the Zn anode.
