NEW PRACTICAL ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY

ALTERNATVE ENERGY STORAGE

Energy storage battery for solar, wind and UPS applications

A different concept by TRL, Inc., a pioneer R&D Company of Redox type batteries.

Low Cost, Long Life, Zero Maintenance, & Safe

                                                                Wind Power                 Load Leveling                          Photovoltaic

The TRL-CIR (Common Ion Redox) Battery is a practical secondary power source.

This technology presents an excellent opportunity for alternative energy sources.  The CIR Battery offers the possibility of practical wind power and solar photo-voltaic collectors as isolated, stand-alone sources that can be placed at the user locations.  The need for connection to a utility grid for continuous power delivery is eliminated.

Please see our abbreviated Background page that should identify TRL in terms of our previous R&D projects and accomplishments.

Recent developments have brought us to an advanced version of Redox systems that avoids all the problems that beset operation and limit the lives of other batteries.  The CIR system will operate unattended for an indefinite numbers of cycles.  Electrolytes and reagents are simple compounds and complexes of inorganic salts.  

The attributes that have motivated this very recent development are its very low cost and long term reliability.   The TRL-CIR is extremely rugged, and provides considerably more reliability at much lower cost than mechanical storage devices such as flywheels and compressed gas, and it has much longer life than any of the conventional electrochemical batteries.

Technology application focus is bulk energy storage where long life, reliability and low cost are of paramount importance.  At the present time, stand-alone and remote wind and solar generation is not economical because of the absence of a practical storage system. Consequently, wind power and solar power generators are tied to utility power grids.. Our new CIR System would be especially valuable in making practical renewable, non-fossil fuel, power generation sources such as wind and solar.
