You know it, you love it.. no not slam-dunking the political left, it's Lithium-Ion batteries!
This week we are soaking up the sun... and wind.. and hydro... and dirty energy as well?? Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are a keystone technology that helps solve renewable energy's intermittency problem. But batteries are not strictly clean energy devices. They also help support the grid in technology-agnostic ways by providing lightning quick voltage and frequency support.
