Minisiteri y'Ingufu muri Amerika yakoresheje miliyoni 325 z'amadolari mu gushyigikira imishinga 15 yo kubika ingufu

Nk’uko Associated Press ibitangaza, Minisiteri y’Ingufu muri Amerika yatangaje ishoramari rya miliyoni 325 z’amadolari mu gukora bateri nshya zo guhindura ingufu z’izuba n’iz’umuyaga mo ingufu zihoraho amasaha 24. Ayo mafaranga azatangwa ku mishinga 15 yo muri leta 17 n’ubwoko bw’Abanyamerika kavukire bo muri Minnesota.

Bateri zikomeje gukoreshwa cyane mu kubika ingufu zidasanzwe zishobora gukoreshwa nyuma iyo izuba cyangwa umuyaga utarimo gucana. Ikigo gishinzwe iterambere ry’abaturage (DOE) cyavuze ko iyi mishinga izarinda abaturage benshi kuzimya umuriro w’amashanyarazi kandi ikanatuma ingufu zirushaho kuba izizewe kandi zihendutse.

Inkunga nshya ni iyo kubika ingufu "igihe kirekire", bivuze ko ishobora kumara igihe kirekire kurusha amasaha ane asanzwe ya bateri za lithium-ion. Kuva izuba rirenze kugeza izuba rirenze, cyangwa kubika ingufu iminsi myinshi. Kubika bateri mu gihe kirekire ni nk'aho imvura igwa "ibarura ry'ingufu." Uduce dufite iterambere ryihuse ry'ingufu zikomoka ku mirasire y'izuba n'umuyaga akenshi dushishikajwe cyane no kubika ingufu mu gihe kirekire. Muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, hari abantu benshi bashishikajwe n'iri koranabuhanga mu bice nka Kaliforuniya, New York, na Hawaii.

Dore imwe mu mishinga yatewe inkunga na Minisiteri y'Ingufu ya Amerika'Itegeko ry’ibikorwa remezo bihuriweho n’amashyaka abiri ryo mu 2021:

– Umushinga uyobowe na Xcel Energy ku bufatanye n’uruganda rukora bateri rumaze igihe kinini rwa Form Energy uzashyira ibikoresho bibiri byo kubika bateri ya megawati 10 mu masaha 100 yo gukoreshwa ahantu hafungirwa inganda z’amakara muri Becker, Minn., na Pueblo, Colo.

– Umushinga wo mu bitaro by’abana bya California Valley i Madera, umuryango udafite serivisi zihagije, uzashyiraho sisitemu y’amashanyarazi kugira ngo wongere ubwizigame ku kigo cyita ku barwayi barwaye indwara z’ihahamuka gishobora kubura amashanyarazi bitewe n’inkongi z’umuriro, imyuzure n’ubushyuhe. Uyu mushinga uyobowe na Komisiyo ishinzwe ingufu ya California ku bufatanye na Faraday Microgrids.

– Gahunda ya Second Life Smart Systems muri Jeworujiya, Kaliforuniya, Karolina y'Epfo na Louisiana izakoresha bateri z'imodoka zikoresha amashanyarazi zamaze igihe ariko zigikoreshwa kugira ngo zitange inkunga ku bigo by'abageze mu zabukuru, amazu ahendutse n'amashanyarazi akoreshwa mu gushyushya imodoka.

– Undi mushinga wakozwe na sosiyete isuzuma bateri ya Rejoule uzakoresha bateri z'amashanyarazi zitagikoreshwa ahantu hatatu muri Petaluma, muri Kaliforuniya; Santa Fe, muri New Mexico; n'ikigo cy'amahugurwa y'abakozi mu gihugu cya Red Lake, hafi y'umupaka wa Kanada.

David Klain, umunyamabanga wungirije wa Minisiteri y’Ingufu muri Amerika ushinzwe ibikorwa remezo, yavuze ko imishinga yatewe inkunga izagaragaza ko ubu ikoranabuhanga bushobora gukora ku rugero runini, bugafasha ibigo by’ubucuruzi gutegura uburyo bwo kubika ingufu igihe kirekire, no gutangira kugabanya ikiguzi. Bateri zihendutse zakuraho imbogamizi nini ku ihindagurika ry’ingufu zishobora kongera gukoreshwa.
