Currently the electrical grid cannot tolerate large and sudden power fluctuations caused by wide swings in sunlight and wind. Among the most promising batteries for intermittent grid storage today are “flow” batteries, as it is relatively simple to scale their tanks, pumps and pipes to the sizes needed to handle large capacities of energy.
