Lithium-ion deal plugs batteries into U.S. grid

A123 Systems announced a deal to sell 44 megawatts worth of its lithium ion batteries to AES Energy Storage, a step toward the technology's use putting solar and wind farms on the electric grid. dell xps m1330 battery

AES said it will use 20 MW of the batteries to regulate frequency on the New York grid, the same kind of application needed to back up giant wind and solar farms. In addition, AES's corporate parent said it will use lithium ion starting in 2011 as back up for a 32 MW wind plant it operates in West Virginia. dell inspiron 1525 battery

"We wouldn't be doing projects at this scale if there was still product development" needed in the technology, Chris Shelton, president of AES Energy Storage, said in an interview.

He would not reveal financial details of the A123 purchase. However, he did say part of the New York plan depends on closing loan guarantees with the U.S. Department of Energy.

AES has operated since December 2009 a 12 MW energy storage system installed by A123 at one of its power plants in Chile. That system is based on battery technology A123 developed for a hybrid bus for BAE Systems, Shelton said. dell latitude d610 battery

Although the technology for grid-scale lithium ion storage is ready, the regulations and financial incentives are not, Shelton said.

Congress is debating investment tax credits for buying grid-scale lithium ion batteries. Regulators are discussing pay-for-performance metrics that would let companies like AES charge a premium over competing power plants because they can supply energy faster and with greater precision.

Regulators also need to hammer out ways to enable risk-averse utilities to acquire new technologies such as lithium ion, something utilities are reluctant to do that with rate payer's money today. AES is negotiating deals to resell A123's battery systems to electric utilities, but so far it has only installed the systems at its own power generation plants.

Is it safe to smash a lithium ion battery with a hammer? if not, why not?

For a show for a local cable channel we just smashed a lithium ion battery and it started smoking... will it blow up or what will happen?

No - it probably got pretty hot too, but it's not going to explode. The reason they tell you not to throw them in a fire is because there is a small pocket of gass in them - the fire heats it up, and eventually the pressure of the can *can* cause them to explode - but really 9 out of 10 times they just spring a leak and depressurize. The problem with them exploding is it can send shards of metal in all directions and potentially cause injury.

When you smashed it with a hammer, you released the gas bubble, effectively make it lose any potential it had to explode.

You should probably research this stuff BEFORE doing things like this in the future though. THere are a lot of things that seem more harmless than a battery that you can cause serious injury with...
