/r/EnergyStorage
A reddit focused on the storage of energy for later use. This includes things like batteries, capacitors, super-capacitors, flywheels, air compression, oil compression, mechanical compression, fuel tanks, pumped hydro, thermal storage, electrical storage, chemical storage, thermal storage, etc., but also broadens out to utilizing 'more-traditional' energy mediums... where their focus is on their energy storage potential for later use, including even using 'the grid' for storage.
The Energy Storage Reddit
Energy storage is accomplished by devices or physical media that store energy to perform useful operation at a later time. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator.
All forms of energy are either potential energy (e.g. Chemical, gravitational, electrical energy, etc.) or kinetic energy (e.g. thermal energy). A wind-up clock stores potential energy (in this case mechanical, in the spring tension), a battery stores readily convertible chemical energy to operate a mobile phone, and a hydroelectric dam stores energy in a reservoir as gravitational potential energy. Ice storage tanks store ice (thermal energy) at night to meet peak demand for cooling. Fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline store ancient energy derived from sunlight by organisms that later died, became buried and over time were then converted into these fuels. Even food (which is made by the same process as fossil fuels) is a form of energy stored in chemical form.

HOW TO TAP THE MARKET OF THE SALT- CHLORIDE BATTERY?
Hi everybody good day. Nowadays, I'm confused about expanding the market of salt battery, which can be applied in back up power system and energy storage system. But I don't know how to find the customers who need products, my daily task is to search for news and research scenarios on the Internet that may be useful, but I do not know how to discover enterprises and individuals that can use salt chloride batteries.
If anybody can help me, anything also can be useful. Thanks a million.

BESS Capex
Hi all,
I’m hoping to learn more about the Capex (historical & future estimates) for a typical 4-hr BESS projects. I know it’s always difficult to generalize things, especially for a fast-changing industry like Energy Storage, but I would appreciate any inputs or if you could point me to sources. I already have figures from BNEF and NREL, but hoping to gain more data points.
Thank you very much!
