Abstract:Very high current conversion is not restricted to industrial applications. Complications arising from greater penetration of photo-voltaic and wind generation, and increased diurnal load variability have seen renewed interest in large-scale electrical load-levelling technology, to remove the dependence on gas-fired peaking plant during high demand periods and to better utilize cheaper base load generation when demand is low.Load-levelling schemes utilizing pumped storage have been successful in over 150 instal… Show more
