The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable. But until now, flow batteries have relied on chemicals that are expensive or hard to maintain, driving up the cost of storing energy.

Everybody knew then that renewables were unreliable: that wind power fully works less than one-third of the time, and that solar power is unavailable at night (of course) and less efficient on cloudy winter days. The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades. This was plain wrong.
