Laws of Thermodynamics. Law 1: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. However, energy can be converted into different forms to provide energy services. For example, a space heater converts electrical energy to heat. Law 2: Heat flows from hot to cold, and there are losses when converting from heat to work.
Grid-Scale Battery Storage
The current market for grid-scale battery storage in the United States and globally is dominated by lithium-ion chemistries (Figure 1). Due to tech-nological innovations and improved manufacturing capacity, lithium-ion chemistries have experienced a steep price decline of over 70% from 2010-2016, and prices are projected to decline further
