Back in my childhood I recall being envious of my cousin\u2019s petrol remote control car, which compared with my humble battery model, was fast and satisfyingly noisy. But looking back, I was well\u00a0ahead\u00a0of the curve\u00a0with my battery RC.\u00a0Now with\u00a0a\u00a0full-size\u00a0battery car sitting on the drive, it seems like the right choice and\u00a0the\u00a0future\u00a0of mobility.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Of course, one of the real benefits of having an electric car is the ability to charge<\/a> overnight when energy prices are low and wake up every morning\u00a0to a fully charged car. In the future it will also be possible to sell some of the car\u2019s battery capacity back to the grid when demand is high and make money in the process.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

But if we look to the immediate needs of the energy grid<\/a>, we realise that the ability to store renewable energy, when demand is low but supply is high, and deploy that energy when needed, has clear and important benefits to the security of our energy grid. Grid and\u00a0commercial\u00a0scale battery storage<\/a> is already a reality and expected to grow exponentially over the coming years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On an especially cold but sunny spring day back in March, the UK National Grid were reporting an impressive 64% zero carbon electricity generation. We are certainly moving in the right direction, but energy security is becoming a hot topic as the energy mix increasingly comes from unpredictable renewable sources.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery connectivity is very much in focus,\u00a0and at\u00a0Phoenix Contact we a part of the solution. For more information please visit\u00a0www.phoenixcontact.co.uk\/p2c<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
