Not necessarily for peak load going down. When you have lots of renewables on the grid, unless you have storage to even things out, you need infrastructure to handle the diurnal swings in renewables. When you lose the renewables, you still need to be able to handle the load as well as accept the renewables as they come back on. With storage, it doesn’t matter. If you are not producing renewables, you are just pulling it off storage.
I’m not sure that I articulated that very well. - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On May 28, 2020, at 3:08 PM, Jim Walls via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 05/28/2020 14:43, Mark Abramowitz via EV wrote: >> Without energy storage, you actually need *more* energy infrastructure. >> > > Why would you need more infrastructure to handle your peak load going down? > > -- > 73 > ------------------------------------- > Jim Walls - K6CCC > [email protected] > Ofc: 818-548-4804 > http://members.dslextreme.com/users/k6ccc/ > AMSAT Member 32537 - WSWSS Member 395 > > _______________________________________________ > UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub > ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html > INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org > Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) > _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/index.html INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
