2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. Well, let's think. And nature ‘messed’ with that judgment.”

Renewable energy integration involves the incorporation of renewable energy sources into existing energy systems, such as electrical grids or heating systems. These systems store excess energy generated during periods of high production and release it when demand is high or when renewable generation is low.

The idea, says Daniel Codd , a researcher in renewable energy systems at the University of California, San Diego, is to store solar-produced heat in rock formations below the surface, creating a solar-charged geothermal resource in which heat is stored for meaningful durations.

This has radically improved what can be done with high-voltage transmission lines, MRIs, and energy storage. The engineering challenge of building complex systems that can harvest the energy and convert it to electricity without being destroyed by radiation poses a series of tall engineering and materials-science hurdles.

MIT professor Donald Sadoway and his team have demonstrated a long-cycle-life calcium-metal-based liquid-metal rechargeable battery for grid-scale energy storage, overcoming the problems that have precluded the use of the element: its high melting temperature, high reactivity and unfavorably high solubility in molten salts.

Among the most interesting applications for the high-temperature pump would be low-cost grid storage for surplus energy produced by renewables. Electricity produced by solar or wind sources could be used to heat molten silicon, creating thermal storage that could be used when needed to produce electricity.
