A promising technology for performing that task is the flow battery, an electrochemical device that can store hundreds of megawatt-hours of energy — enough to keep thousands of homes running for many hours on a single charge. Flow batteries have the potential for long lifetimes and low costs in part due to their unusual design.
The concept of seasonal thermal energy storage (STES), which uses the excess heat collected in summer to make up for the lack of heating in winter, is also known as long-term thermal storage [4]. Seasonal thermal energy storage was proposed in the United States in the 1960s, and research projects were carried out in the 1970s.
