Researchers at MIT have improved a proposed liquid battery system that could enable renewable energy sources to compete with conventional power plants. The original system, which used magnesium for one of the battery’s electrodes and antimony for the other, required an operating temperature of 700 ?C. Earlier post.).

Renewable energy integration involves the incorporation of renewable energy sources into existing energy systems, such as electrical grids or heating systems. These systems store excess energy generated during periods of high production and release it when demand is high or when renewable generation is low.

One of the main impediments to harnessing solar energy is storage. Solar batteries work as a short-term solution, but not when it comes to long-term storage or to power, say, an entire city. Thermal energy storage is a known low-cost, low-risk approach for storing solar energy in the form of heat,” adds Codd.

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team have demonstrated a long-cycle-life calcium-metal-based liquid-metal rechargeable battery for grid-scale energy storage, overcoming the problems that have precluded the use of the element: its high melting temperature, high reactivity and unfavorably high solubility in molten salts.

Among the most interesting applications for the high-temperature pump would be low-cost grid storage for surplus energy produced by renewables. Electricity produced by solar or wind sources could be used to heat molten silicon, creating thermal storage that could be used when needed to produce electricity.
