The first application for utility scale power storage should be to balance out peak demand in the morning and evening. That would decrease emissions while significantly improving efficiency.

This is also how I look at the issue. I question the 720 hour target. Get rid of a peak plant that only runs a few hours at most, replace with battery. Recharge batteries with the base load plant in off peak demand time. Of course you would want extra battery capacity for max peak, plant down for maintenance, etc. So I’m confused on minimum of 720 hours capacity. Any help with what I’m missing?

Base load plants are a totally different situation and if they want to close those plants, suggest, buy candle company stock!

It is an insoluble problem, power storage on that level.
