They say everything is bigger in Texas, so when I decided to create a giant battery many thought would be the largest in the world, which turned out to be so. In this famous American state is the largest bank in the world and is used to store the energy generated by a wind farm nearby. Can store enough electricity to power a total of 17,000 households.

Notrees battery, which is adjacent to the wind farm of the same name, to store electricity when winds are weak and fail to generate enough electricity. The battery has a large storage capacity 24MWh, so not for nothing is the greatest drummer of the Earth.

The battery presence is noted the state's efforts to become a very ecological territory that uses alternative energy. Steven Chu Secretary of Energy of the United States said it would be difficult to make great use of renewable energy without batteries large storage capacity like we have up here.
