I kēia mau makahiki i hala iho nei, ua piʻi ka noi no ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu pono a me ka hilinaʻi, i alakaʻi ʻia e ka neʻe ʻana o ka honua i nā kumu ikehu hou a me ka pono o ka paʻa o ka grid. Ma waena o nā ʻāpana like ʻole e pāʻani koʻikoʻi i kēia mau ʻōnaehana, ua puka mai nā resistors hale alumini ma ke ʻano he kī nui, e hāʻawi ana i nā pono kūʻokoʻa e hoʻonui ai i ka hana a me ka lōʻihi o nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu.
Aluminum hale pale paleʻike ʻia no kā lākou conductivity thermal maikaʻi loa, hoʻolālā māmā, a me ke kūkulu paʻa. ʻO kēia mau hiʻohiʻona e kūpono loa ia no nā noi i nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu, kahi e mālama ai i ka wela a me ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka lōʻihi. E like me ka hana pinepine ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu ma lalo o nā haʻahaʻa like ʻole a me nā mahana, ʻo ka hiki o nā pale pale alumini e hoʻopau pono i ka wela e kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i ka hana maikaʻi loa a pale i ka wela.
ʻO kekahi o nā noi mua onā pale pale aluminii nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu i ka hoʻokele ʻana i ka braking regenerative i nā kaʻa uila (EV) a me nā ʻōnaehana hybrid. Ke hoʻemi ka EV, hoʻololi hou ʻia ka ikehu kinetic i ikehu uila, hiki ke mālama ʻia i loko o nā pā. Hoʻohana ʻia nā resistors hale alumini no ka hoʻokele ʻana i kēia kaʻina hoʻololi ikehu, e hōʻoia ana i ka holo ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana me ka palekana.
Eia kekahi,Aluminum hale pale paleke hoʻohui nui ʻia nei i loko o nā hāmeʻa mālama mālama ikehu, e like me nā ʻōnaehana mālama ikehu pākaukau (BESS) a me ka mālama wai paila. Ma kēia mau noi, kōkua nā pale pale alumini i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ke kahe o ka uila, e hāʻawi ana i ka paʻa a me ka hilinaʻi i ka pā. ʻO ko lākou hiki ke mālama i nā pae mana kiʻekiʻe a kūʻē i ke kaumaha wela e kūpono iā lākou no kēia mau kaiapuni koi.
