Renewable energy with Liquid Metal Batteries

Renewable energy with Liquid Metal Batteries

Liquid Metal Batteries Would Make Renewable Energy Viable Engineering.com Tom Spendlove  on July 26, 2013 Electricity demand has to be in constant balance with electricity supplied – this is the large scale problem Donald Sadoway wants to solve in this TED Talk. The constraints of this problem are immense. A solution would need to generate incredibly high power, have a long service life and come at a very low cost.
Energy storage is the solution. Giant batteries could address the problem of intermittency that prevents wind and solar from contributing to the grid like a coal burning power plant.
