As power grids everywhere increasingly rely on intermittent renewable energy, batteries and other forms of energy storage that can even out the bumps in supply and demand are taking on a crucial role. No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons.

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. Solar energy and oil wells might sound like an odd combination, but the principle is similar to how geothermal energy would be harnessed.

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.). Earlier post.).

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) Recent years have seen the construction of large lithium-ion battery farms that do just that.

Renewable Energy Integration HEMS can integrate with renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind turbines, allowing users to maximize the use of clean energy. Because they usually sit for a long period of time, their charging can be shifted to periods when either solar generation is high or electricity prices are low.
