Alfa, the more VRFB's that are installed the better!
Cowboy - here's what those who actually work in the field say about it:-
The grid is showing that it can adapt to this unprecedented situation as it makes use of flexible, domestic assets that are optimised to charge during low demand, even if these times are very different to normal.

Hey Sbuild; https://www.ft.com/content/ba0899fb-7b57-47a0-b056-d01161939f6d
Hey Sbuild, how's the grid holding up in your area??
S build, I found this whilst I was playing with my legit, mate.

It totally depends on how the business place infrastructure operates during those two weeks. If they remain operating as per usual then of course there will be strains on the grid during peak periods (4.30-7pm on a weekday). If they turn off, however, then I don't envisage there being a strain on the grid. Grid constraint issues are about peaky loads and mismatching demand and supply, they are not about overall demand being high, unless there's a massive shutdown of a major power plant or an interconnector. Because everyone will be at home there are unlikely to be peaky demands (as far as I'm aware) because the mass of people sitting indoors all day will be quite steady and the grid can predict and accommodate this. I've said all this without looking at any evidence so I may stand corrected! And may regret the above within minutes of my research following this post! Just think it's naive to take that attitude SBuild, when the answer isn't actually obvious.
S build has a good point here. Check out Gridwatch website. This will place a completely different load flow on the system. There is very little spare generation, and battery storage technology is a long way from providing another source of power. Lets hope the sun shines and the wind keeps blowing
70million people at home at once? Hmm I wonder. Maybe you should stick to stickley bricks or lego mate.
Sbuild, why would there be strain on the NG if we all had to stay home for 2 weeks?
Just thinking about thing s and the meltdown and hysteria were witnessing. Imagine the strain on the national grid if we all have to stay at home for 2 weeks surely this product is proof we need to realign our focus on renewables and alternative energy. They really missed a trick originally with not trying to target the home market as well as vrfb could go into very high demand the way things are going .
