PNNL: Energy Storage
Transportation: Electric vehicles require longer-life batteries that can be quickly and repeatedly charged and discharged. We are working to significantly enhance the performance of these batteries. The energy storage market is quickly growing—hovering around $320 million in 2016 and expected to be upwards of $3 billion by 2022.

response for more than a decade. They are now also consolidating around mobile energy storage (i.e., electric vehicles), stationary energy storage, microgrids, and other parts of the grid. In the solar market, consumers are becoming "prosumers"—both producing and consuming electricity, facilitated by the fall in the cost of solar panels.
Influx of Electric Vehicles Accelerates Need for Grid
The pinch came from the growth of fast-charging cars and commercial fleets of electric trucks. These vehicles can draw 400 amps through a circuit for as long as 45 minutes, instead of the 15 to 20 amps

1 · Argonne National Laboratory estimated fuel cost savings potential for replacing a gasoline vehicle with the same size electric vehicle on a ZIP code level. Their estimates showed that the states in the Northwest region, led by Idaho and Washington State, had some of the highest potential for fuel cost savings when switching to electric vehicles.
Advanced energy storage system for electric vehicle charging
A rural electric vehicle charging system is envisioned with an energy source, e.g., solar panels on a car port, energy storage, e.g., a flywheel energy storage system, and an energy sink, e.g., electric vehicle charging. The focus of this project was on the hardware development of the sensors and actuator subsystems of the energy storage system.
