This article fails to make the distinction between battery capacity (in MWh) and battery power in MW. That's very bad. It's a bit like mistaking miles for mile

This article fails to make the distinction between battery capacity (in MWh) and battery power in MW.
That's very bad. It's a bit like mistaking miles for miles per hour.
Though in that case it's megawatt times hour.
- perilunar 8y agoThe distinction between energy and power seems to mystify pretty much everyone apart from engineers and scientists. I consistently see it confused in articles in mainstream media.
- kalleboo 8y agoIt looks like all the articles on this new battery are based on a single table of existing and planned grid-tied power sources (including traditional power plants), published by the energy regulator. As a table of power sources it doesn't include capacity, just peak output, which is why there is no info on it. There doesn't appear to be a press release or anything.
