Because of this, the new power consumers not only present an additional load on the power grid, but can potentially serve as flexible storage devices in the context of the variable availability of solar and wind power. An interface with the grid operator via HEMS is one possible application.

ELECTRICITY FOR THE HIMALAYAS To bring electricity to Lingshed, the IEEE group installed 14 solar microgrids, each powering a string of LEDs in homes and along the streets. The team traveled the first leg of the trip to Lingshed in an SUV. The two-lane road heading out of town is winding but relatively smooth," Kumagi wrote.

A January 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study shows that if we woke up tomorrow and all our vehicles could plug in, todays grid could support more than three-quarters of them charging at night without building a single power plant. Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants?
