RE:Great read that offers perspective...
RE:Great read that offers perspective...Not a well written article. The article is trying to justify using lithium-menace batteries for large scale energy storage. It just doesn't work, it is necessary to build an over-sized solar farm because the lithium just does not store energy well, just look at the EV and your cellphone batteries.
The article fails to mention that the VFB can charge and discharge at the same time and is not cycle limited as the lithium is. Take the solar energy and charge (storage) the batteries and at the same time using the excess solar energy and discharge (generation) into the grid. So you have storage and generation going on at the same time. Miles and miles ahead of lithium. The system shoud credit back to the storage system the amount saved by having a reduced size solar farm.
The VFB is the only battery in the world that will never wear out, just a little maintenance and parts replacement as needed. It is a Forever Battery.
