Comparison of Energy Storage Methodologies

In this episode we discuss various methods of energy storage for application to a large scale electrical grid. 

 

We cover well known technologies such as battery storage, as well as less prominent forms such as thermal and gravity storage.

 

With increased incorporation of renewable energies such as wind and solar into the electrical power grid, it is more important now than ever before to consider how we will store energy for when the sun don't shine and the wind don't blow.
