Well, things are getting better for renewable energy now, thanks to Xcel Energy, the firm that has developed a battery big enough to store wind power-generated electricity for 500 homes, a feat never thought of or worked on before. The sodium sulfur (NaS) battery is currently under testing stages at an 11-megawatt (MW) wind farm somewhere near Luverne, Minnesota. The battery weighing in at 80-tons was made by NGK Insulators Ltd. of Japan. The mammoth uses wenty 50-kilowatt modules, and stores 7.2 megawatt-hours of electricity, instantly absorbing or generating one megawatt of power.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nJust recently we came across yet another innovative way to store renewable energy, the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/alternative-energy\/flywheels-could-be-the-answer-to-green-energy-storage-in-the-future.php\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">flywheels<\/a>.
