The biggest challenge of a electric power network is too fulfill peak demand.
Not fulfilling peak demand will create frequency and voltage variations.
To not damage consumer equipment and installations, the power is cut off from some networks as a protection.
The only way to fulfill peak demand is with stored energy. And the most reliable way to storage energy is as potential energy.
Water damns are used for this.
Electric motors and electric generators are reversible machines.
Some water damns are built in such a way that when the generator starts to works as a motor. The turbine works as a water pump.
Pumping water from bellow to above.
This is done when demand is low.
Some damns are built only for this purpose. Working on a closed loop.
Storing large amounts of electric power is expensive and hard.
Since power plants, power lines and other power network infrastructures take time to build.
It is also required to make plans for peak demand and power consumption in 5 and 10 years in the future.
#Bitcoin mining changes all that. It is a game changer.
#Bitcoin mining can smooth the power consumption curves.
Most of the energy can be generated in thermal power plants (τ>>). And for the small peak demands, water damns (τ<<) will be enough.
And since the use of water damns as a electric power source will be much lower. Water damns can play a bigger role in water management.
In a electric power network the best place for #Bitcoin mining is near the energy source, the generator. Before the step up transformer.
#Bitcoin mining in electric power networks allows:
. Better and cheaper electric power demand management.
. Better and cheaper long term planing of grid upgrades.
. Better management of essential resources like water.
