In other words. Not far. When you write "EWE plans to build the world´s largest battery" you know you are dealing with PR not with reality.

  Lets see how well that theory goes up against recent history. --- Tesla to build world's biggest battery https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/07/07/tesla-build-worlds-biggest-battery/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/07/07/tesla-buil... Tesla mega-battery in Australia activated https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-42190358 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-42190358 --- Hyundai Plans World’s Largest Grid Storage Battery In Korea https://cleantechnica.com/2017/12/05/hyundai-plans-worlds-largest-grid-storage-battery-korea/ https://cleantechnica.com/2017/12/05/hyundai-plans-worlds-la... Hyundai Electric completes world's largest ESS http://komec.kr/eng/Board.asp?menucode=0503010000&mode=2&no=28841&page=2 http://komec.kr/eng/Board.asp?menucode=0503010000&mode=2&no=... --- I don't think Korea Zinc or the people of Adelaide are storing their power using public relations. I think, in reality, they had a battery delivered.

    Again not far. Fuel cells to be used that allow for storing solar reliably, by all means, provide the evidence of the fuel cell industry making this possible not wishful proprietary technologies

      >provide the evidence of the fuel cell industry making this possible Hang on, so, you want fuel cells but dismiss someone building the world's largest battery using redox flow technology? I take it that you don't know that redox flow batteries are a type of reversible fuel cell? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_battery#Redox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_battery#Redox
      - ThomPete 8y ago
        I want fuel cells at scale that can work anywhere just like batteries, otherwise you dont have a useful solution to the already utopian all solar world you guys dream of.
        starbeast 8y ago
        That would be cheap redox flow batteries, like the EWE project I linked you to. One thing, I take it you don't see lithium scaling. Why is that? There is enough of it.
