Pumped-storage hydroelectricity

Chemists develop new way to make cost-effective material for electricity storage

Dennis Schroeder/NREL Windmill A big challenge for utilities is finding new ways to store surplus wind energy and deliver it on demand. It takes lots of energy to build wind turbines and batteries for the electric grid. But Stanford scientists have found that the global wind industry produces enough electricity to easily afford the energetic cost of building grid-scale storage. The worldwide demand for solar and wind power continues to skyrocket. Since 2009, global solar
