Storing hydropower via regenerative braking in electric trucks

An international research team has proposed the use of water from high-altitude rivers and regenerative braking in electric trucks to store electricity for reuse in power networks, or for transport purposes.An international research group led by Austria's International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) has developed an energy storage technique based on the use of electric trucks for hydropower generation at high altitudes. "Electric truck hydropower" (ETH) involves the transport of water from small streams at high altitudes in electricity truck containers that can transform it into ...
