The Powerpack project, a joint venture with local electricity provider, Southern California Edison (SCE), will support grid operation during peak hours and improve the integration of renewable energy resources.

It loads up on energy from the sun and from the electric grid during off - peak hours.

It also helps the regional electric grid meet demand during peak hours, because batteries effectively eliminate some of that demand.

A Powerpack system enables StubHub to store electricity during off - peak times, when the grid is more capable and favors delivering excess electricity, then discharge to the stadium during peak evening hours when the grid is under its heaviest load.

The new system is also designed to allow a PHEV to use its battery as an energy storage device, enabling the car to hold electrical energy in the battery while the grid has surplus power (during off - peak hours, for example) and contribute its surplus energy back to the grid when the latter needs more power to meet peak demand, Su says.

According to a 2008 study from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the existing grid could support 50 million new PHEV vehicles, assuming that drivers plug in during off - peak hours and allow their batteries to charge at a modest 120 - volt / 15 - amp rate.

And it will allow utilities to offer customers hour - by - hour rates, including incentives to run appliances and machines during off - peak times that might vary day to day, reducing demand spikes that can destabilize a grid.

«Microgrids have several advantages for the electricity grid; for example, they can provide electricity during peak - usage hours and therefore forestall the need for expensive upgrades in central generation, transmission, and distribution systems.

Some utilities will also pay more for electricity from home solar during peak hours and the energy storage system can also send electricity back to the grid during those times to maximize your electric bill savings.

As utilities continue to adopt mechanisms like time - of - use charges (where electricity costs more during certain parts of the day — usually during peak - use hours) your energy storage system can make sure you're using its power instead of the power from the grid.

As a side note is the possibility of using EV's to push excess power out to the grid during peak daytime hours when the rates are higher and then recharging at nighttime when the rates are lower.
