How is electric energy stored and distributed by electric companies?
In: Technology
There is basically 0 storage for grid electricity. With that being said basically all electrical systems generate power by spinning a big wheel, this wheel has to spin at a particular speed and when ever you plug something in you slow the wheel down very slightly, so there is some storage there. For everything to run correctly that wheel must stay at a pretty consistent speed. (Less than. 1% change)
