Stanford Team Creates Water-Based Battery to Store Wind and Solar Energy

Researchers at Stanford have built a water-based battery that is capable of providing an inexpensive way to store solar or wind energy produced when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining so it can be fed back into the electric grid and be redistributed when there is a high demand.

Innovative Lithium-Sulfur Rechargeable Flow Battery for Storing Renewable Power

It is well known that solar power and wind power are the most sought-after renewable energy sources. However, they have not been extensively connected to the U.S. grid due to intermittency issues. That is, they mandate the use of energy-storage systems that, at the least, run nearly $100 per kilowatt hour and can be operated in only specific locations.
