How many cycles is that battery good for, and how much would you have to be paid for some of those cycles. Electricity where I live is 10 cents a kWh so there is $6 of electricity in your battery. Is it worth an extra cycle Every day, halvi

1. Find someone who wants to buy electricity. Seriously what grid operator has open offers for proposals to connect new generation, on any scale? Start there. 2. Find land that works for building your plant. It should be near existing trans

Publishers such as elsevier must be upset. Once the majority of research is not behind their paywall they lose their position as first place to look for papers and all of the network effects. Eyeballs will be going elsewhere

I believe both partners working is one reason for the run up in residential real estate. Everyone can afford more so they pay more for more desirable places to live.

I also work in hydro controls. Apart from equipment limitations, most hydro plants I’ve been to have a river downstream and there are restrictions on how fast output can be changed and requirements for minimum flows. You can’t just stop the

The peak demand in the WECC is about 170,000 MW, so 675/170000 60min/hr 60s/min=14 seconds with of power. While the time is interesting for context, it is more about reducing the magnitude of the peak when there are no other

They pay $2/kWh. A powerwall can export 7 kW with a capacity it 12.5 kWh so you can make $25 in a little under 2 hours if you let them drain your power wall. Prices infrequently get to $2000/MWh so I expect most years the powerwal
