Photochemical energy storage in isolated bundle sheath cells from Zea mays was examined. Photoacoustic spectroscopy was used in this study to monitor energy storage processes. The presence of methyl viologen or addition of substrates which activated carbon fixation, prevented energy storage processes through the electron transport system. The energy storage was inhibited completely by dibromoth...

STATCOMs are widely used to enhance power system stability. They can exchange reactive power with the power system, but they have limited ability to exchange real power because they don’t include energy storage devices. STATCOMs coupled with energy storage devices such as batteries have been introduced to improve their ability to exchange real power. However, batteries have a limitation in thei...

Scientists all over the world are in search of new and renewable energy sources. One of the options is to develop energy storage devices, which are as important as developing new sources of energy. Thermal energy storage systems provide the potential to attain energy savings, which in turn reduce the environment impact related to energy use. Infact, these systems provide a valuable solution for...
