Ilika's solid-state battery concludes wind blade trial

摘要

UK materials development company Ilika plc has revealed it has successfully completed a trial of its solid-state battery in a condition monitoring device placed on a test wind turbine blade at the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult facility in Blyth, UK. The trial, carried out recently, showed that the Stereax solid-state battery can be charged by energy harvested from blade vibrations and, in turn, can power condition monitoring sensors and LoRa communication.
