It helps to use proper units, doesn't it?
Large-scale battery storage is completely asinine when PES is far superior.
- nawgz 6y agoWhat is PES? I only can get results for Power & Energy Society, which seems tangentially but not meaningfully related
- croddin 6y agoI think it means Pumped Energy Storage
- nine_k 6y agoWhat is PES?
- morei 6y agoPumped Energy Storage (or rarely: Potential Energy Storage). Aka pumped hydro.
- nine_k 6y agoIn Switzerland, and maybe in, say, Appalachia, it's an obvious thing to do. But if your land lacks serious mountainous features, like much of Texas, it becomes impractical. It's also seriously more capital-intensive: you need to pour like a million tons of concrete.
- pjc50 6y agoThere are very few areas suitable for pumped energy storage. It requires specific topology and geology.
- joelwilliamson 6y ago100 MW for 10 ms is 28 Wh.
- throwaway5752 6y agoI like your point about proper scientific units for headlines, and disagree with pumped energy storage. If you aren't gifted with appropriate geology, it really isn't nearly as effective an option, is it? Also, response time is a lot different. There is enough room for both it would seem.
