Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. The brown line shows the uncoordinated load from 1,000 electric water heaters for reference. Here’s what flexibility means when it comes to operating, say, a residential electric water heater.

The 48 V electrical system serves not only high power consumers, such as the water pump and air-conditioning compressor, but also the Integrated Starter-Alternator (ISG), which also supplies energy to the battery by means of highly efficient energy recovery. The water pump is chain-driven by the timing assembly.
