Research supported by the DOE Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) has yielded significant improvements in electrical energy storage. But we are still far from comprehensive solutions for next-generation energy storage using brand-new materials that can dramatically improve how much energy a battery can store.
Depending on the system size, tens to hundreds of these power blocks will be connected to the electricity grid. For scale, in its least-dense configuration, a 1-megawatt system comprises half an acre of land. Higher-density configurations would achieve more than 3 MW per acre. This rendering shows a 56-MW Form Energy battery system.
