I’m surprised we’re not doing more green hydrogen as an energy battery system to balance out the grid.
It seems like that would work quite well, with the only energy loss being the pressurising to liquid hydrogen, but even then you can recover some of that by recovering the heat when it expands again.
Bad idea for cars, but giant canisters sat around near wind farms seems like it would be fine.
Hydro storage is pretty good paired with solar but you need to have lots of hydro to start with.
