I'm hoping to see a lot more large scale redox flow batteries brought into service, for longer term, high capacity storage compared to Li ion batteries. If nothing else, to counter the "when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow" mob.

A large sum of batteries will nullify the naysayers
I'm less convinced redox will be needed
Electrical storage batteries have massive advantage in cost reduction from Wright's Law to lithium battery systems
Simply means we'll stick with cheaper solution for now
If more competitive, then bring it on

I'm hoping to see batteries with capacities in the 100's of TWHr range. Something that could keep the whole of WA going for a whole week.

Encouraging data, thanks Ray. Do you have an estimate (range) of what the numbers might look like by the end of 2025 for both battery facilities and homes/biz?

profraywills.bsky.social•24 days ago

first graph in thread includes 2025 estimates

rgrounds16.bsky.social•24 days ago

I'm a bit confused about that graph. What's the diff 'tween Battery Domestic and Battery Homes? Or do they refer to different vertical axis?

profraywills.bsky.social•24 days ago

Dotted lines refer to homes (solar homes, battery homes) which is the right axis, everything else on the left axis in MW/MWh

A bit of a thread on renewables and batteries
