Water pumping and cold stores are good examples as, increasingly, will be EVs. This is what smart-grids are really about (if anything) and fall into two kinds of smart: 1. communicating generation and consumption levels to allow real-time and near-future decisions (tactics); 2. predicting demand with enough fidelity that things hit deadlines (strategy). Differential costing is a good way of concentrating minds on this. | |
