One project could provide 10 hours of energy storage at low cost Research could lead to larger, cheaper more efficient wind turbines New York — A US Department of Energy research program is providing $98 million in funding for 40 projects including energy storage, advanced wind power generation and other energy technologies that could have considerable market impacts if they can be commercialized. The projects were selected as part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s OPEN 2018 solicitation process, which is an open call to scientists and engineers for transformational energy technologies, the agency said in a statement Thursday. “ARPA-E’s open solicitations serve a valuable purpose. They give America’s energy innovators the opportunity to tell us about the next big thing,” US Secretary of Energy Rick Perry said. “Many of the greatest advances in human history […]
