I think that's a bit of a straw man, the key thing is to reduce the peak, rather than get to steady state.
- beerandt 4y agoSure, it's a scale, not an absolute, but maximum efficiency is at steady state. As you move away from that, the gains drop quickly, especially versus managing the demand variance with on-grid storage.
