Benson from Stanford University and Stanford’s Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) has quantified the energetic costs of 7 different grid-scale energy storage technologies over time. This analysis indicates that energy storage could provide some grid flexibility but its build up will require decades. Click to enlarge.
