That’s why interest in unconventional solutions for energy storage has taken off in recent years. Some companies have landed on thermal storage. Energy storage has two main factors—how fast it can be charged and discharged (the spigot) and how much total energy it can hold (the bathtub).

Discharge mode is shown; the arrows are reversed for electrolytic/charge mode. In contrast, flow batteries can independently scale the power (electrode area) and energy (arbitrarily large storage volume) components of the system by maintaining all of the electro-active species in fluid form.

The projects approved were: Transportation: Andromeda Power, LLC , located in Costa Mesa (Orange County), will receive $95,000 to study adaptive electric vehicle fast charging stations with built-in demand response capabilities. The tool will increase the efficiency and lower costs of solar photovoltaic systems.
