ISebe lezaMandla laseMelika lichitha i-$325 yezigidi ukuxhasa iiprojekthi ezili-15 zokugcina umbane

Ngokutsho kwe-Associated Press, iSebe lezaMandla laseMelika libhengeze utyalo-mali lwe-$325 yezigidi ekuphuhliseni iibhetri ezintsha zokuguqula amandla elanga nawomoya abe ngamandla azinzileyo eeyure ezingama-24. Le mali iza kusasazwa kwiiprojekthi ezili-15 kumazwe ali-17 kunye nesizwe samaNdiya aseMelika eMinnesota.

Iibhetri ziya zisetyenziswa ngakumbi ukugcina amandla ahlaziyekayo angaphezulu ukuze asetyenziswe kamva xa ilanga okanye umoya ungakhanyi. I-DOE ithe ezi projekthi ziya kukhusela uluntu oluninzi ekucinyweni kombane kwaye zenze amandla athembeke ngakumbi kwaye afikeleleke lula.

Le mali intsha yeyokugcina amandla “ixesha elide”, oko kuthetha ukuba inokuhlala ixesha elide kuneebhetri ze-lithium-ion eziqhelekileyo iiyure ezine. Ukususela ekutshoneni kwelanga ukuya ekuphumeni kwelanga, okanye ukugcina amandla iintsuku ngexesha. Ukugcinwa kwebhetri ixesha elide kufana “neakhawunti yokugcina amandla” yemini enemvula. Iindawo ezikhula ngokukhawuleza kumandla elanga nawomoya zihlala zinomdla kakhulu ekugcineni amandla ixesha elide. E-United States, kukho umdla omkhulu kule teknoloji kwiindawo ezifana neCalifornia, eNew York, naseHawaii.

Nazi ezinye zeeprojekthi ezixhaswe yiSebe lezaMandla laseMelika'UMthetho weZiseko zoPhuhliso eziPhatheleneyo zowama-2021:

– Iprojekthi ekhokelwa yiXcel Energy ngokubambisana nomvelisi weebhetri osele ekhulile iForm Energy iza kusebenzisa izixhobo ezimbini zokugcina iibhetri ezingama-10-megawatt kunye neeyure ezili-100 zokusetyenziswa kwiindawo zezityalo zamandla amalahle ezivaliweyo eBecker, eMinn., nasePueblo, eColo.

– Iprojekthi ekwiSibhedlele sabantwana saseCalifornia Valley eMadera, uluntu olungenazo izixhobo ezaneleyo, iza kufakela inkqubo yebhetri ukuze yongeze ukuthembeka kwiziko lezonyango lonyango olukhawulezileyo elijongene nokucima kombane okunokwenzeka ngenxa yemililo yasendle, izikhukula kunye namaza obushushu. Le projekthi ikhokelwa yiCalifornia Energy Commission ngokubambisana neFaraday Microgrids.

– Inkqubo yeSecond Life Smart Systems eGeorgia, eCalifornia, eSouth Carolina naseLouisiana iza kusebenzisa iibhetri zezithuthi zombane ezisele zisetyenzisiwe kodwa ezisasetyenziswayo ukubonelela ngenkxaso-mali kumaziko abantu abadala, izindlu ezifikelelekayo kunye nombane otshaja iimoto zombane.

– Enye iprojekthi eyenziwe yinkampani yokuxilonga iibhetri iRejoule iza kusebenzisa neebhetri zezithuthi zombane ezingasasebenziyo kwiindawo ezintathu ePetaluma, eCalifornia; eSanta Fe, eNew Mexico; nakwiziko loqeqesho lwabasebenzi kwilizwe laseRed Lake, elingekude nomda waseKhanada.

UDavid Klain, unobhala ophantsi kweSebe lezaMandla laseMelika kwiziseko zophuhliso, uthe ezi projekthi zixhaswe ngemali ziya kubonisa ukuba ezi teknoloji zinokusebenza ngobuninzi, zincede iinkonzo zicwangcise ukugcina amandla ixesha elide, kwaye ziqale ukunciphisa iindleko. Iibhetri ezingabizi kakhulu ziya kususa umqobo omkhulu kutshintsho lwamandla avuselelekayo.
