A bidirectional EV can receive energy (charge) from electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and provide energy to an external load (discharge) when it is paired with a similarly capable EVSE. Bidirectional vehicles can provide backup power to buildings or specific loads, sometimes as part of a microgrid, through vehicle to building (V2B) charging, or
Electricity can be stored in a variety of ways, including in batteries, by compressing air, by making hydrogen using electrolysers, or as heat. Storing hydrogen in solution-mined salt caverns will be the best way to meet the long-term storage need as it has the lowest cost per unit of energy storage capacity. Great Britain has ample geological

Advantages for Consumers. According to our analysis, consumers who install RTPV with BTM ESS can reduce their reliance on expensive power-producing facilities while benefiting from reduced electricity bills to the tune of 75%. Electricity can be generated during solar hours and excess energy can be stored for later use.
At 0.40 $/kWh, the hydrogen-bromine flow battery system is too expensive for grid-level application. It is explained that the high cost is due to hydrogen storage. The costs of the hydrogen-bromine system can be significantly lowered if the costs of the battery stack and power electronics can be reduced.
Energy storage technologies with longer durations of 10 to 100 h could enable a grid with more renewable power, if the appropriate cost structure and performance—capital costs for power and energy, round-trip efficiency, self-discharge, etc.—can be realized. Although current technologies such as lithium-ion batteries are
