Power storage – technologies for the future

With more wind and solar on our grids in the future we can probably expect a more volatile energy source. this intermittentcy could lead to a much larger range of power prices as the market responds through price mechanisms to match the supply and demand imbalance. We know of several technologies available from pumped storage . . . → Read More: Power storage – technologies for the future

Topping up wind generated electricity

Wind power is often chosen either because an electrical mains supply is not available on practical grounds such as with some caravans, houseboats etc. or because it is too expensive to install because of the remote location. It would be unlikely that wind power could provide all the electricity required and therefore additional means of generating electricity may need to be considered. . . . → Read More: Topping up wind generated electricity
