A Blueprint for Scalable Virtual Power Plants & A New Energy System
While many people don’t know what a virtual power plant is, those who do still might not realize the scale of the impact they could have on our energy system. One up and coming start-up is showing that virtual power plants aren’t just about turning buildings into power generating facilities but potentially turning real estate […]
Tesla’s Energy Products Continue to Suffer Delays but What or Who is to Blame?
Order a Tesla Powerwall in the US today and you’ll be waiting six to nine months for it to arrive. Want to combine that with a Solar Roof and it will be well into 2019 before installation might happen. Elon Musk’s firm are experiencing such severe delays on these energy products that those who have […]
Billionaires Betting Big on Energy Storage Technologies
50 years ago, a Stanford Research Institute report titled ‘Sources, Abundance, and Fate of Gaseous Atmospheric Polluters’ was the first to officially suggest that “rising CO2 levels could bring about climatic changes like temperature increases, melting of ice caps and sea level rise.” After the most heavily polluting half century in human history we now […]
Tesla to Build the World’s Biggest Virtual Power Plant
Elon Musk and Tesla are never out of the news for long, their regular media coverage usually takes the shape of a world’s first, biggest, or fastest. So it wasn’t a surprise, when late last week Tesla Energy announced their involvement in another mega-project – the biggest virtual power plant (VPP) in the world. “Supply […]
Is Energy Storage Quickly Becoming a Mainstream Technology?
It wasn’t that long ago that we were only really talking about Tesla in the stationary energy storage space. There were other firms with similar offerings but Tesla was the most high profile and media hungry. ABB, GE, LG, Panasonic and Samsung all joined the market, global aerospace, defence and security firm Lockheed Martin also […]
Memoori Discusses the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Society with MIT Professor Thomas Kochan
Advancements in cyber physical systems and artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping our society, promising a world where machines can do almost any task that a human can do and, more often then not, do it better. This creates a problem, however. If AI enabled machines take all the jobs then unemployment will rise to unprecedented […]
AI Employee Monitoring: Security Measure or Privacy Concern?
Artificially intelligent robots could, in the not too distant future, make human labor obsolete, according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. To counter the threat to jobs and freedom, Musk co-founded a nonprofit organization to promote safe artificial intelligence (AI) research and has begun advocating for the benefits of a universal basic income to assist displaced […]
Is There An Energy Storage Bubble Ready To Burst?
Like the soap bubble, a market bubble can seem as if it will rise forever, floating carelessly in the air. However, since market bubbles are not formed from anything substantial they, like soap bubbles, will eventually pop. When they do, the money that was invested into them dissipates into the wind. Approximately 475 MWh was […]
