CONCEPT: Capacitor Room
|
This idea is currently only a concept, the technology that would be required to make this a reality still doesn't exist yet, so years of development would be required before this could be achieved
If the capacitor room became active; however, it would serve the function of storing excess electricity so that it could be discharged during times of greater demand. It also means that if the plant ended up producing a surplus of electricity say on a windy clear day, then there would be less electricity wasted. |
As part of the future development of the site, there would be a number of different types of capacitor, possibly even stored on different floors. There would be those which were designed for use with the numerous features around the complex and some high power specially designed ones which would be able to cope with large amounts of electricity. If the lightning farm concept were ever to be made a reality, then these capacitors would be absolutely essential for charging rapidly then discharging the electricity at a rate which means it can be used on the national grid.
This technology is currently unavailable, but if in the future these kinds of capacitors were created then it would be a massive boost not just to the SPP but to all power plants around the world especially those which have trouble with energy being wasted in times when it's not required hence not being available when it is needed.
