However, the authors note, to date EES (almost exclusively pumped hydroelectric storage) contributes to only about 2% of the installed generation capacity in the United States. This type of application requires high round-trip energy efficiency and a long deep-cycle life, along with low operation and maintenance costs.

Another application could provide “instant heat” to heat up the catalytic converters in vehicles. The module is compact and can be installed in about an hour. The use of the module also prevents the battery from deep cycling, extending the life of the battery. Two lithium-ion battery companies are working with us now.
