Closing the Innovation Gap in Grid-Scale Energy Storage
Grid-scale energy storage has the potential to make the transition to a low-carbon energy system easier, quicker, and cheaper than it would be otherwise. Progress has been made to bring a wide array of storage technologies to the market, thanks in part to federal and state policies. However, these options are still not cheap enough or powerful enough to provide all the storage services required ...

New formulation leads to improved liquid battery
Original story at MIT News Researchers at MIT have improved a proposed liquid battery system that could enable renewable energy sources to compete with conventional power plants. Donald Sadoway and colleagues have already started a company to produce electrical-grid-scale liquid batteries, whose layers of molten material automatically separate due to their differing densities. But the new ...
