America’s Energy Grid: The Shift Toward Thermal Batteries
The landscape of America's energy grid is reaching a critical juncture. Renewables are now responsible for around 22% of the electricity produced in the U.S., with wind and solar contributing nearly 14% to this figure. However, the intrinsic variability of these energy sources due to weather patterns poses significant challenges that must be addressed to fully harness their potential. This is where energy storage, particularly in the form of thermal batteries, emerges as a game changer.
