- Off Peak storage
-
Off peak storage has been an ongoing issue for the nuclear power industry. They aren't like a hydrocarbon plant, wich can be throttled back. The nuclear reaction is a constant heat source.
Water is the cheapest method to store kinetic energy. India developed using the excess night-time energy to pump water up to a lake. During peak-demand times, the water is release to turn electric producing turbines, like are used at Dams.The Back Creek Pump Storage in Bath County Virginia uses this method.
Another trick is to make ice at night and use it for office air conditioning during the day, when the workers are present.
Many Cold Stores in the US already do "load shedding" the same way that is proposed here. The only new wrinkle is using wind power instead of the power grid to pull down temperatures during the off-peak night-time hours.
