ASKED&ANSWERED
Q: Are there benefits to thermal energy storage vs. lithium ion batteries?
A: Yes. The primary benefit is duration. Battery technologies such as lithium ion or zinc provide energy for 4 hours. Thermal energy storage can provide energy for hundreds of hours with only the incremental cost of sand to increase the duration of storage capacity.
