Thermal Batteries
Thermal batteries are energy storage devices which use heat to store energy. They can provide backup power for critical applications in areas where the power grid is unreliable.
Long Duration Energy Storage
Long duration energy storage allows electricity to be stored for long periods of time (typically over 12 hours) in order to help manage the intermittency of renewable sources like wind and solar.
Weather Forecasting and Meteorology
A weather forecast is a prediction of the weather conditions expected over a given area in the next few days. The forecast is based on data collected at weather stations, satellite data, various types of sensors, and computer models. The accuracy of weather forecasts has increased significantly in recent years.
