BTW Sodium-Sulfur might have been a better choice for a fixed location, given that both Sodium and Sulphur are common and cheap. Also the weight penalty imposed by the thermal insulation required isn't a problem for a fixed location. (Besides, that weight penalty would be negligible if aerogel is used as the insulator). >In reply to Jed Rothwell's message of Thu, 6 Mar 2014 16:22:17 -0500: >Hi, >[snip] >>See: >> >>http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2014/02/beech-ridge-energy-plans-battery-system-at-west-virginia-wind-farm >> > >This has to be one of the stupidest possible uses for Lithium batteries, given >the scarcity of Lithium.
