Could giant turbine blades be turned into batteries?

Swedish startup Sinonus offers an innovative energy storage solution that could turn giant turbine blades into batteries one day. Not just turbine blades but anything made using carbon fiber could be turned into an energy storage unit thanks to Sinonus’ pioneering tech that was researched at the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg.

How do solar and wind power systems work?

Solar and wind facilities use the energy stored in batteries to reduce power fluctuations and increase reliability to deliver on-demand power. Battery storage systems bank excess energy when demand is low and release it when demand is high, to ensure a steady supply of energy to millions of homes and businesses.

Are lead batteries sustainable?

Lead batteries are one of the most environmentally sustainable of all battery technologies. Their impressive sustainability profile makes them an ideal partner for growing solar and wind energy storage. There are multiple ways that lead batteries maximize renewables:

Are turbine blades made of carbon fiber?

Turbine blades are made from carbon fiber, and adding the ability of energy storage to the setup can deliver a better return on investment for the sector. Where else can it work? To demonstrate the technology, Sinonus has begun replacing AAA batteries in low-power products with its carbon-fiber charging with successful results.
