Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and the California Energy Commission today unveiled a utility-scale sodium-sulfur battery energy storage system ( earlier post ) pilot project to better balance power needs of the electric grid. The system has a 4 megawatt capacity, and can store more than six hours of energy.

RAL researchers are proposing a new process for the decomposition of ammonia to release hydrogen that involves the stoichiometric decomposition and formation of sodium amide from Na metal. To date, very few candidates show potential beyond that of the seminal work on titanium-doped sodium alanate. Credit: ACS, David et al.

Upon discharge from a nuclear reactor, the UNF is initially stored in steel-lined concrete pools surrounded by water. Most of the nation’s used fuel is stored at more than 70 reactor sites across the country. It is later removed from the pools and placed into dry storage casks with protective shielding. Award amount: $5,000,000).

Using a new metric—“Energy Stored on Invested, ESOI”—they concluded that batteries were the worst performers, while compressed air energy storage (CAES) performed the best, followed by pumped hydro storage (PHS). Their results are published in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science.
