The research, led by Yi Cui, a Stanford associate professor, is a product of the new Joint Center for Energy Storage Research (JCESR), a DOE Energy Innovation Hub.
Led by Argonne National Laboratory, with SLAC as major partner, JCESR is one of five such Hubs created by the Department to accelerate energy research and was established last November.
While solar and wind make a substantial contribution to the nation’s energy supply, they also create significant power fluctuations, which can sometimes exceed the tolerances of the electrical grid.
