This invention describes a system for storing and generating electricity using salt solutions. It works by first using electrical or thermal energy to separate a dilute salt solution. This separated solution then flows through a membrane system, which in turn operates an electrochemical generator to produce electricity for an electrical grid.
Why it matters: Advances in membrane technology and electrochemical cells since 2009 could significantly improve the efficiency of the energy-intensive salt separation and subsequent power generation. This makes the system more viable for grid-scale energy applications.
