The innovations solving renewable energy’s biggest problem
1 Aug, 2022
Renewable energy, crucial for combating climate change, faces challenges due to its variability.
Nant de Drance, a Swiss Alps hydropower plant, acts as a “water battery,” storing energy with advanced technology.
Energy Vault’s gravity-based system and Polar Night Energy’s sand battery offer alternative storage solutions.
Ourcompressed air facility in California and MIT’s semi-solid flow battery also contribute. Interconnectors like the North Sea Link project enable long-distance power sharing, aiding the transition to renewables.
