On the other hand, if every home had a load leveling battery system of even modest storage capacity, say, 15 minutes average power usage covered, then load leveling would not be nearly the problem it is today.
- elric 5y agoYou're probably right. Something like a small battery per home, and a bigger battery per block would likely go a very long way in creating a more stable grid. That's probably cheaper than "real" grid scale storage. What would a 15 minute battery look like? Probably not much bigger than a car battery. Install one with every power meter. Sounds so easy that I can't help but wonder what the catch is. Why aren't we doing this?
