Battery Technology and Applications for Disaster Recovery
New battery technologies, such as solid-state and lithium-ion, can play a vital role in emergencies and grid power loss by providing reliable, decentralized storage solutions. Mobile microgrids, powered by these advanced batteries, offer flexible, on-the-go energy support for disaster relief efforts. These systems can quickly deploy to affected areas, ensuring power for critical infrastructure like hospitals and water pumps, enhancing resilience and recovery during natural disasters or grid failures. Paired with mobile extensions, neighbourhoods can be provided sustained power for several days, if not weeks.
