Comparison with other ES technologies:<br />

Enormous durability advantage compared to whatever battery<br />

Installation cost comparable with batteries, less than hydro<br />

More environmental friendly and safe than batteries<br />

Fully made by existing and well proved components, no R&D<br />

Flexible to be used in a wide range of applications<br />

Siting much easier than hydro-pump
