Hi,
There are some interesting possibilities with VRFB’s. The current transmission of energy is based upon a mono directional provision of energy, and the ability to charge (pun) for it at the consumer end.
However the map has changed. Mr Kirchhoff has much to say on the issue of voltage and power networks, and the absolutely stunning possibility is that IF people change their approach to energy and it’s use VO5 could really make a difference.
Load shifting of power to the rail network with off peak storage into arrays of VRFB’s at suitable locations, from non traditional generators could reduce operating costs for electrification. This could drive transport costs down and shift people off the roads.
Not that barmy, as the rail network is a major user of electricity and has the infrastructure and land to compliment existing and newer power networks. Also old freight yards are full of ISO container space with good grid connections..
Just an errant neuron!
