If anything, the grid makes _more_ sense with distributed generation. If your instantaneous peak usage doesn't coincide with your neighbor's instantaneous peak, you don't need enough local peak capacity to meet your own needs if you can draw from your neighbor for the moment -- assuming, of course, you're willing to return the flavor. Spread that out over enough houses, and everybody just needs enough for the average overall peak -- which will be substantially less than the individual peaks. Something like that would be perfect for a new subdivision.... b& _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
