Not to mention, if people actually used these in large enough numbers--or utilities building a battery reserve--the off peak power and peak power difference will be smaller. Because you have increased demand for off peak due to charging. And decreased peak usage.
- keithpeter 11y agoThat smoothing out of the daily demand curve might actually lead to significant capital savings on the part of utility companies as less need for short term high power reserve. Also the resilience of the system to problems would increase. UK is providing a degree of subsidy to reduce peak demand already. Smart meters may help in future. http://www2.nationalgrid.com/uk/Industry-information/Electricity-transmission-operational-data/Data-Explorer/ http://www2.nationalgrid.com/uk/Industry-information/Electri... http://www.eunomia.co.uk/eunomia-supports-uks-first-electricity-demand-reduction-auction/ http://www.eunomia.co.uk/eunomia-supports-uks-first-electric... http://www.carbonbrief.org/how-national-grid-keeps-the-lights-on-when-a-large-power-station-catches-fire http://www.carbonbrief.org/how-national-grid-keeps-the-light...
