The new battery design could help ease integration of renewable energy into the electrical grid at lower cost, using Earth-abundant metals, according to a study just published in Energy Storage Materials. The new sodium-based molten salt battery uses two distinct reactions. mAh cm −2 , a discharge duration of 28.2 Weller et al.

Thermal energy storage is a known low-cost, low-risk approach for storing solar energy in the form of heat,” adds Codd. This system results in a lower capital cost and a lower levelized cost of energy compared to other CSP technologies, he adds. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”

Schematic comparing the cost and dispatchability of PV to CSP with thermal storage. The “PV+Storage” box includes the high cost of electrical storage for PV. Although CSP can integrate inexpensive thermal energy storage, the cost of CSP solar energy capture is high. Source: ARPA-E. Click to enlarge.
