This is a good use case for sodium batteries. They're less energy-dense so not great for vehicles, but for a stationary application like this they're perfect.
yeah this is fine, but these need to run at high temperatures last time i've checked. that makes it a bit more complicated to use
Sodium electric batteries, like the type that CATL developed? Or do you mean hot molten salt thermal batteries? Because I think the other poster is referring to the first kind.
i thought sodium batteries need low hundreds C for ceramic electrolyte to work. i stand corrected
e: CATL made sodium-ion battery, i was thinking of sodium-sulfur battery
