N. I still defy you to install a 8 KW solar panel / storage system on the average home site to meet the 24
hour electrical demand, even with LED light bulbs and 100 % increases in energy efficency of appliances, economically.
Not exact matches
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.
Impressed but still skeptical, the doubting Thomas professor
demands proof of his interlocutor's divine power, which Klaatu delivers henceforth by causing civilization to stand still for an
hour through the cessation of all
electrical transmissions (except those where lives would be lost).
The obvious next step is to modestly expand the
electrical storage capacity of the gas - electric hybrids so that owners can plug in their hybrids to recharge the batteries during the nighttime
hours when electricity
demand drops.
Because
electrical systems must be built to deal with that highest range of
demand, operators will have to address these increases by either building more power plants, developing better battery storage capacity or convincing consumers to shift some of their use to off - peak
hours.
