How sensitive is the systems to airborne sodium chloride if located near salty bodies of water? I would assume that colocation with nuclear power would be ideal and many nuclear plants are next to salty bodies of water.
Being an energy auditor in my early career in the energy sector, I'm very interested in seeing such systems implemented to balance system loads during off peak times which will make Nuclear (safe and well designed) more cost effective.
I am a proponent of nuclear, but wouldn't use of extra energy during off peak times apply to renewables even more so?
Unless there are massive improvements in efficiency and cost-effectiveness of storage, adapting usage to production of intermittent sources seems like it would maximize yield and minimize investment costs.
