[RE-wrenches] kW/MW v. kWh/MWh

[R Ray Walters]

So one of our battery systems could be rated in terms of maximum instantaneous discharge, lets see: 20,000 amps x 48 v is almost a full Mw......
Wow, now I can say I installed over 100 Mw........I like this new fuzzy math......
It was such a bummer before to tell the customer looking at a ton of batteries that it only stored $2.50 worth of energy at today's utility rates....

> - because when storing energy on a utility scale, the engineers are greatly concerned with how fast the energy can come in, and how fast they can send it out. So when they refer to a '50 kw flywheel storage unit,' that often means the max power coming in or out at any given instant.
