Excel Energy operates Pumphydro. When excess electricitiy is available, it pumps water up the reservoir, power turbines that produce juice like a hydroelectric damp.
General Compression, wants to build a system that will use excess wind power to compress air in underground caverons, later the air will be released, powering a generator to release electricity
It is definitely a must to store the natural energy today, the world cannot afford to burn anymore excess of fossil fuels because global warming are already heating us up. If we do not make use of Mother Nature, the demise of this world can be nearer by a few decades as mentioned by the climate experts. Furthermore, look at the great companies out there, they are not abiding by the contracts which they signed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions at all. At this rate, they will never be able to fulfil the contract which they signed and they are liable to huge fines as a result.
The electric company are trying to predict wind and sunshine, meaning to say they are looking into predictions on the times whereby wind will come and sunshine will shine on the land. With better predictions, they can decide when to burn more coal and when to burn less of it. Of course, such predictions are never going to be accurate and the efficiencies of these methods are definitely going to fluctuate. The trick here is to harness as much natural energy as possible, whenever you can, wherever you can.
