Highview’s system can be used:
-
•for pure power arbitrage (like pumped storage) taking advantage of the peak/trough electricity price differential.
-
•to firm up intermittent generation (e.g. wind, solar).
-
•to provide “shape” to must-run generation (e.g. nuclear, geothermal, waste-to-energy).
-
•to provide (simultaneously) peak-lopping electricity, back-up supply, cooling and an effective use for low-grade waste heat.
-
•to defer capital expenditure on network constraints (increased demand).
-
•to minimise the cost of constraints, particularly at peak, through embedded distributed generation.
-
•by suppliers as an alternative to purchasing expensive electricity to make up for unexpected shortfalls.
-
•to improve supply security in network deficient regions of the world.
