I wouldn't call that storage though, it's more of an efficient way of buying energy on a grid market.

- aaron695 10y agoI'd call it a battery. You are storing energy in a form (cleaned water) for later use. Unlike a manufacturer or other businesses which can't just hire people overnight/ramp up during the day. I do agree the reversal process is convoluted and not really chemistry. Sell the water = money <==> energy
- zdkl 10y agoThat's not necessarily true, if you're the Sheikh and you own the power plants. You may have more money but you're still the only provider in town, and have fun cashing in energy when demand hits an external spike already.
