An example, she says, is the task of balancing energy flows in the power grid. At the depot, the spent fuel could be recharged with electricity from any source—solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, or fossil fuels. and an expert in flow batteries. Their energy density is as little as 10 percent that of lithium-ion batteries.
