That's all good for home use, but what about industries?
How will an industry that uses 1-10MW of power be able to stay operating when power is unstable?
There was an article a while back about some company where the machines needed 6 hours or so to reboot after losing power. That's a whole shift lost if the line goes down. Just stupid.
Brown outs are often more dangerous to equipment than full blown outage. Itll be equipment replacement and lost production
Just what (((they))) want. Kill more industry in the US and drive it overseas.
Plastic extruder machines are like that, but six hours is more of a minimum figure in those cases; it takes that long just to fresh start or change material and spec. An outage is worse. You have to separate the whole line into quadrants on the track it sits on, disassemble the die- which can be held together with hundreds of bolts, cut all the shit out of it, reassemble the die and machine line, restart the line, and wait for it to achieve consistency (5+hrs of wasted material). I used to do lab work and maintenance in one of those factories, and have seen extruding lines take two full days to become operational again after a mishap.
