No you don't need to fucking mine asteroids to make battery storage systems at scale. The next industry standard is literally based on sodium, one of the most abundant elements on earth.
What you might need fucking asteroids for is actually hydrogen tech because most of that shit is extremely dependent on platinum group metal catalyst which we still haven't found a solution for. This is just one out of the 100 problems with hydrogen no one has been able to solve in the last 100 years.
Why do EEs or those that claim to be just make shit up about battery tech and electrochemistry when this stuff isn't even part of their domain or curriculum.
The global energy supply literally has to entertain a huge parallel infrastructure system, next to the electrical one, in forms of endless pipeless, port terminals, fuel tanks etc just to accommodate fossil energy.
Everyone claiming to you that upgrading electricity grids that already exist mind you to better accommodate renewable energy solutions wouldn't be cheaper than all the stuff we have to entertain to keep sucking on the fossil man tit is lying to you.
>>810975Post paper about what? Challenges facing smart grid? Go read about it yourself. The problem is not "engineering" complex. It's the type of problem that there is no exact solution for. It's s like asking how to successfully run a company. There are many books about it but at the end of the day you might get fucked up by pure market fuckery.
