[Sodium-ion batteries](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_sodium_ion/) (energy) and [Transformers and power electronics](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_power_electronics/) (energy): 2 relationships.

## How they are linked

### 1. Energy flow

*Physical flow · 60% of flow · Sodium-ion batteries → Transformers and power electronics*

Sodium-ion grid stores discharge through inverters.

- **60%** of Sodium-ion batteries's energy goes this way

### 2. Energy flow

*Physical flow · Direct · Transformers and power electronics → Sodium-ion batteries*

Converters charge sodium-ion stores.
