My understanding was that it helps countries with nuclear powered base electrical load to use that power at night, when there isn't a lot of demand.
With further development, a key side benefit is that the grid can then tap into about 5% of your cars battery storage during the day when demand is higher (if you allow it).
- elzbardico 4y agoThe same issue applies to almost every country's baseload generation infrastructure, with a small exception of hydro (that has some small degree of dispatchability), it is not exclusive to nuclear power generation. Traditional thermo-electric plants also can't ramp up and down their power levels instantaneously.
