Energy Storage Unlike conventional batteries, which use chemicals to store energy, superconducting magnetic-energy storage (SMES) uses a magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a coil of superconducting material. Since then, research has lagged due to the high cost of the materials. tesla magnetic field in 2014.

Quinones are naturally abundant, inexpensive, small organic molecules, and similar to molecules that store energy in plants and animals. 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.

In a region known for long, dark winter nights, Polar Night Energy is building a system in the city of Tampere that can heat buildings with stored solar energy — all day, all night, and all winter long. This means that storing and distributing energy is as important as its generation. The apparent contradictions do not end there.

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.

The New York Times has an interesting piece on cars being used to store excess electricity. As you no doubt know, one reason EVs cost as much as they do -- most EVs are more expensive than ICE vehicles -- is because of the cost of batteries. It seems, on paper, like a pretty nifty idea.

Unlike those you may have grown accustomed to seeing, many of these stations don’t just charge electric cars—they can also send power from vehicle batteries to the local utility grid for use by homes and businesses. Debates over the feasibility and value of such vehicle-to-grid technology go back decades. This is good for the grid.
