Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

We are all becoming increasingly familiar with the narrative that, energy storage is the solution for balancing a distributed and renewable grid, therefore reducing the need for vastly oversized infrastructure. We can, then, continue to use the localized dispatchable power generation that we have always used but do so with renewable fuels.

Liquid Metal Battery Corp secures patent rights from MIT

Green Car Congress

The energy is stored in the liquid metals that want to react with one another but can do so only by transferring ions across the electrolyte, which results in the flow of electric current out of the battery. Affordable grid-level energy storage is the linchpin for massive deployment of renewable energy on the electric power grid.
