Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis
Lithium-ion batteries are being widely used in military applications for over a decade. These man portable applications include tactical radios, thermal imagers, ECM, ESM, and portable computing. In the next five years, the usage of lithium batteries will further expand to heavy-duty platforms, such as military vehicles, boats, shelter applications, aircraft and missiles.
The new generation of lightweight Li-Ion batteries is much more powerful than traditional lead-acid batteries offering unparalleled advantages to advanced armed forces.
The aircraft has three batteries powering three motors that will deliver 750kW to spin the propellers. Each 72 kilowatt-hour battery pack weighs 450kg and has 6,000 densely packed lithium-ion cells.
The fight against global heating involves finding replacements for gasoline and diesel engines. In the transportation sector, the transition to electric cars and trucks is proceeding apace but there are other sectors that still rely on diesel engines such as the construction industry where the battery electric changeover is just getting started. There are some battery powered mining trucks in a copper mine in Sweden and Swedish mining equipment manufacturer Epiroc already has electric mine vehicles in operation with more coming.
Chennai Division of Southern Railway has developed a battery-cum–AC operated dual-mode locomotive called ‘PASUMAI’ to work both in electric and non-electric/unwired sections.
The Electric Loco Shed, Arakkonam has converted a 23061/WAG5HA Electric Locomotive into an eco-friendly, cost-effective model which has been fitted with 2 sets of 110V, 1100AH, VRLA batteries equipped with 2 battery chargers to facilitate a 3-step speed control. The locomotive has a continuous run time of 3.5-4 hours in Battery Mode.
