The "Grid Level Energy Storage Problem" Solar and wind provide "intermittent" electricity, meaning their energy production changes depending on the weather. People often need energy when the wind is not blowing or the sun isn''t shining, so we can end up with too much electricity at some times, and not enough electricity at other times.
Thus to account for these intermittencies and to ensure a proper balance between energy generation and demand, energy storage systems (ESSs) are regarded …
