House batteries
Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2008 7:56 pm
I've got my thesis hat on again.
What sort of batteries would one use in a building to most effectively store excess electricity?
I'm thinking about an 'intelligent building' storing electricity when there is some and using during power failures with the option of charging when electricity is cheap and in excess and selling when prices are high and demand peaks.
Unlike an EV there would be less contraints on size and weight I would have thought though one wouldn't want to be changing them too often due to cycle time either.
Thank you.
