The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

It's just about 1.2 GW of power

[–] MalReynolds@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure, a random translation site gives "We can inject or absorb up to 1.2 gigawatts of electricity in milliseconds, the equivalent of the power of the nucleus plan", one assumes nucleus plan goes to nuclear plant.

It's the use of 1.2 GW in milliseconds that is at question as it's close to physically impossible and would impress the guys who made CERN.

Still super cool if it's actually just 1.2GWh in a pit (with a reasonable lack of toxicity), personally happy to call it a win with some overzealous reporting / marketing and forget about the whole milliseconds bit.

What’s a common timeframe for a utility-scale battery storage to start providing power? I heard that this type is the best in responsiveness, though I don’t have the exact numbers. A quick search shows me numbers up to 50 milliseconds though.
