A number of other technologies for power storage have been investigated, but to date no widely available, affordable solution to the challenge of mass power storage has been found. Primarily due to load leveling issue. The demand for electricity from consumers and industry is constantly changing due to changing weather and also on a daily basis it depends more on the peak hours of usage. However folks at Green Grass have managed to conjure up a fantastic conceptual solution for this problem. Calling it the Local Load-Leveling (“3L”) Station, they have proposed a sub-neighborhood sized power station to help communities shave their peak power usage, and get power backup protection as a side benefit. During off-peak hours, the batteries can be charged from the electrical grid, with assistance from the generator if needed. At peak hours, the battery will supplies the extra electrical load needed by A/C or other modern electric demands. Appropriate to assist about 20-60 homes in a several block area, this station is basically a mid-sized storage battery (50-100 kw sized) combined with a small diesel or fuel cell generator module. This in turns reduces the demand for a new power plant to support more demand. Roll over to image that is self-explanatory…..
This station all looks cool and interesting hence it can motivate more and more folks to get in to action for power storage.
