fantastic learning session! Thank you!

[@Dude-etiquette]

This is fantastic, you made it really simple to understand. Thank you

[@Eringotube]

Great Summary. Thank you!

[@luiginocita5524]

Lovely explanation

Hi Neil Weaver. Many great points cover. Some are made inaccurate, perhaps it is due to the nature of the topic that is being an introduction. Energy can't be stored, this sentence has been said many times and whilst I understand that at this point in time, the energy storage facility has limitations, it does exist and is actively participating in maintaining the grid's instant peak and trough via FFR. This leads to another topic that has been ignored at this stage. Why do the grid demand and power generation need to match? I look forward to future videos.

I thought that too but as you said it may be to in order to keep the explanation simple. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. Let's see what comes next..

Hey EC & I - thanks for watching our videos! You're right, this has been simplified as it's a basic introduction to the electricity system of Great Britain. Here at Modo, we love battery energy storage systems - in fact, our platform is built to support asset success for battery energy storage, including looking at the revenues batteries generate through ancillary services such as FFR and Dynamic frequency response. Unfortunately, it was just too much detail to squeeze into Series 1 without making it super complicated!

could they not store using Tesla's megapack batteries? or not big enough yet
