Syntropic Power and UNIGRID have entered a partnership to commercialize UNIGRID’s sodium chromium oxide battery chemistry in North America.

I’ve been hearing about these for a few years now. Huge if they work out at a large scale.

    That is an option. For smaller setup, capacitors are used for high peak demand applications.

    Sometimes a mixed setup is just not worth it, cause the peak demand is the important part, so you end up with like 80% LiPo and 20% Na.

    But I’m certainly no expert on the economics of infrastructure battery installations.
