Water Based Battery Stores Solar And Wind Energy

New water based battery can store excess solar wind energy.

New water based battery could help store solar and wind energy a new type of battery is cheaper and longer lasting creating new possibilities for use with renewable energy generation. What is now a prototype could one day lead to an industrial grade system to store alternative energy to feed into the electric grid. Stanford researchers have developed a water based battery that could provide a cheap way to store wind or solar energy generated when the sun is shining and wind is blowing so it can be fed back into the electric grid and be redistributed when demand is high. Though the development of a manganese hydrogen battery is still at a prototype stage scientists working on the project believe that they can create an industrial grade system that could charge and.

Stanford specialists have built up a water based battery that could give a modest method to store wind or sun oriented energy produced when the sun is sparkling and the wind is blowing so it can be encouraged once again into the electric lattice and be redistributed when the request is high. The manganese hydrogen battery could potentially generate a mere 20 milliwatt hours of electricity. Researchers at stanford claim to have developed a water based battery that can provide a better solution than lithium ion for storing solar and wind energy according to the journal nature energy. The soaring concrete walls that contain his giant battery will last for at least another century far beyond the lifetime of the wind turbines solar panels and lithium ion storage installed on.
