It consists of lithium-ion batteries to meet short-term demand; high-temperature batteries to supply power for several hours; and lead-acid batteries when the average discharge time is one hour or less. Construction is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2014; the utility-scale storage system is planned to enter service in 2015.

The study found that in the near term, compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems, currently the most cost-effective bulk storage technology for long discharge durations; advanced lead-acid batteries; and Zn/Br flow batteries generally had the smallest gap to support the business case based on regional benefits.

So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015. The huge hill of used batteries represents a major problem with the toxic acid and lead inside. at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. In the U.S. In the U.S.
