2. The second generation of photovoltaic cells crystal silicon thin-film batteries greatly reduced the cost, solve the problem of the cost of just the first generation of the battery to photovoltaic conversion is lower, but at the same time also the photovoltaic conversion failure problems, although it is better than the first generation of reduced costs on a bench, also not line. The third generation of photovoltaic cells is nano silicon thin-film batteries, he is on the basis of the second generation by improving to make nano silicon multilayer membrane. Known as built & other; Silicon thin-film batteries & throughout; , possible by adopting multi-junction multispectral technical route to achieve cost reduction and high combining photovoltaic conversion, reduce the light attenuation, and hopefully in the near future 5 & ndash; 10 years to achieve large-scale industrialization.
recently, shell has agreed to buy a uk-based energy technology co. , LTD. The company through its & other; Virtual power plant & throughout; Manages the UK's largest electric storage system, the system will be based on the demand side response flexibility and power grid management services together.
the Limejump last year won the British electricity regulatory permission to participate in the national power grid balance mechanism in the market competition among power plants with large, became the first involved in the fusion unit. The company to introduce technology can make smaller renewable generators, battery storage and suppliers directly into the balance mechanism of market ─ ─ mainly dominated by have power license place of power plants and power distribution.
when the transaction is completed, Limejump will become a wholly owned subsidiary of shell's. New energy company (shell ShellNewEnergy) The vice President Brian & middot; Davis ( BrianDavis) Said: & other; We in the team and its digital energy platform to be able to with all sorts of assets associated measures are very appreciated. At the same time, as we take the customer as the center to speed up the construction of energy system, support the shell to provide customers more clean energy solution strategy. ”
