… “ Tesla announced today that it will build the world's largest lithium-ion battery system to store electricity in Australia. The 100-megawatt installation—more than three times as powerful as the biggest existing battery system—will be paired with the Hornsdale Wind Farm near Jamestown, operated by the French renewable energy company Neoen, in a deal with the state of South Australia. The Tesla battery should smooth out the variability inherent in sustainable power generation schemes.”…
This should be a valuable lesson on scaling of battery systems. I'm doubtful that enough lithium can be obtained to make this practical on a broad scale, but a large scale test is still needed.
