#grid — Public Fediverse posts

"Spent batteries from older electric vehicles are starting to pile up, but a handful of companies are repurposing them in a novel way: as energy storage for the grid.
[…]
With some clever engineering, hundreds of retired battery packs can be assembled into megawatt-scale energy-storage systems."

“The Eye 04: Data centres - a proxy flashpoint for AI resistance”

by Citizens Reunited on Substack

@uk_politics

“In contrast to America, Britain’s data centre surge is only just starting. So is the resistance.

[..]

The country appears to be waking up to these escalating dangers. While nowhere near US levels of outrage - yet - this summer is seeing a wave of data centre discontent. As the country experiences record breaking days of extreme heat, local resistance is surging from coast to coast.”

If you're lucky (like me) to be able to work from home sometimes, consider trying to run your laundry, dishwasher, or other appliances during the middle of the day when #solar generation is at its peak, instead of waiting until the evening when the strain on the #grid is the greatest.

@carpetbomberz
Yes!

My plan:
1. #NetMetering ➡️sell solar to grid @ peak
2. #LoadDisplacement ➡️buy grid off-peak, run on batteries on-peak

I export 💯 #solar to #grid for credits & import cheaper.
➡️~2 kWh use for each solar kWh exported.

Solar pays for house baseline load.
Battery load displacement lets me *add* load at no cost.

I figure I can power my new cold climate heat pumps & charge 2 BEV *for free*.

Electric bill 📉90%
Gasoline bill 📉$0
Natural gas bill 📉75%

I’m turning into a #SolarSystems #Monitor addict… hahahaha

I log in (several times a day) to record how the solar #battery is helping me minimize my #electricity consumption from the #Grid over this winter. Not only recording Kwh/time but also general meteo observation at my location.

I know the setup saves me money (discounting the capital outlay of the equipment and the installation costs — to be ammortised over 10 yrs, hopefully less). But I can’t help myself. I have to see the numbers to confirm that belief. Things we do when we have time on our hands. :)

The World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Electric School Bus Initiative reports that a number of fully deployed vehicle-to-grid (V2G) projects involving some 230 electric school buses are now able to supply 8 MWh of power back to the grid at any given time – enough electricity to power about 1,600 typical US homes for up to four hours and significantly shave peak load demand for the utilities they serve.
