As the pressure to decarbonize electricity grids mounts, so does the need to have long-term storage options for power generated from renewables. While rechargeable batteries are the solution of choice for consumer-level use, they are impractical for grid-scale consideration.

The system would also capture waste heat from the solar cells, providing additional gains from the sun’s energy. This grid-scale energy storage system could be coupled to a hybrid solar converter to deliver solar electricity on demand. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ARPA-E Power Generation Solar'

The high cost of grid electricity storage makes it best suited for high-value, short-term, frequency regulation; the lower value market for peak-shifted photovoltaic electricity is largely unprofitable, except where geography provides suitable reservoirs for lower-cost pumped-storage hydroelectricity. —DE-FOA-0000949.

Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [below, at bottom]. A large container ship needs about 3,000 megawatt-hours a day, which is roughly the capacity of the biggest grid battery ever built.

Don’t Waste Heat Energy While Cheesecake’s system is primarily an electricity-in, electricity-out storage device, there are other thermal energy storage companies that specialize in releasing stored energy as heat. Getting a 100 percent decarbonized grid is nothing but an optimization problem.”—Matthew
