A long time ago Rossi said that an eCat's output could be
continuously variable between 0% and 100%.
He hasn't said that recently. Defkalion/Hyperion also says it's
bang-bang (on/off) ..
"In general, the mean time to put a Hyperion from 0 to 100% of its
capacity is 6,5min.".
For both systems in domestic use, I think you'd need some kind of
backup storage (batteries for electrical, water tank -- or pellets
for thermal) to cover that gap. Or draw from the grid -- but that's
going to cost you, and downgrades the COP=6. Of course, if you sell
spare capacity to the grid it will even out.
For multiple-core systems individual Hypes or Fatcats can be turned
on and off according to demand.
