Electrochemistry of a seasonal storage based on the AlkaliBattery

A photovoltaic system could supply a single-family house with electrical power, warm water, and room heat if the energy would be distributed over the year to suit the load profile. However, storage systems for this are not state of the art yet. A concrete example is used to estimate which parameters such a power storage system should have. A suitable electrochemical reaction system based on inorganic salt mixtures is proposed. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is currently funding the development of a world storage facility based on the same reaction system.
