I'm a quiet slow advocate for small half shipping container sized battery packs every 200 houses or so (in Australia) with forward capital loans amoritised over the local connection charges.
There are a few examples in the wild already.
From both a network and a OSHA PoV it's robust, the fire dangers are concentrated and professionally managed, outages are localised and contained, excess can be routed into the grid, shortfall can be drawn down, etc.
Supply companies need to be restructed into grid connection and management companies .. this transition may take a decade or so.
- ggm 2y agoI'm not a fan of the market model for utility functions and it probably shows. That said, I think your idea is good. It would improve resilience in the system. The problem right now is that community battery funds are dangled in front of the public without the "cui bono" being stated: it's the supply companies which benefit mainly, especially in the income side.
