Needs For Energy Storage

• Smooth over fluctuations in regional electricity
  demand due to varying peak
• Safety net for intermittent energy supplies such
  as wind, solar, seasonal variations in hydro or
  biomass
• Means of recovering waste energy
• Regulatory necessity for more reliable
  electricity delivery

Managing Peak Load with Storage
1000 MW
80 Load for 50 Days ? 216000 MWH of Storage
? 200 Load for 9 Days

But Peak Demand Relative to Average Is Increasing
Significantly

• For WECC region

National Context the 10 1 Hour Goal

• Consumption is now approximately at the level of
  500 GW
• So we need a battery which is 500 GW x 10 for
  one hour THE 50 GWH Battery

9
A More Personal Scale

• Individual Americans use 1.5 KWH of electricity
  every hour
• 10 / 1 Hour objective equates to the individual
  requiring 150 Watt Hours of storage for one hour

A 2-4 KG Battery Pack or 10 grams of gasoline!
Our Consumption scale is Large

The 10 / 1 HR Solution

• 25 Luddington Size Pumped Hydro Facilities Grid
  connected!
• 100 Million KG of Advanced Batteries (1 Billion
  KG of AAs)
• 300,000 grid connected fused silica flywheels of
  radius 1 meter and width 0.25 meters
• 300x300x300 meter cube of compressed air (one
  helluva scuba tank!)

16
Dedicated Hydrogen Production

• 10 solution requires 200 million liters of
  hydrogen
• Note that we use about 400 million gallons of
  gasoline a day
• 10,000 1.5 MW Wind Turbines located in Western
  North Dakota could produce 200 million liters of
  hydrogen every 24 hours

17
Overall Conclusions

• Conventional Energy Storage solutions do not
  scale well to solve increasing gap between
  average and peak loads
• Flow batteries or flywheel farms may be practical
  for some in situ industrial applications
• SMES can become a utility scale application on
  short timescales
• Electricity Water Hydrogen
