Push?
Will that work as well as the Push technologies that are perennially the next wave on the ‘net
The correct push is appropriate pricing.
The correct measure of battery efficiency vs afternoon scarcity is pricing.

Subject: RE: [emix] Power storage strategies
Ed,
Never under estimate an engineers ability to add complexity!
What is wrong with the simple notion of % full and capacity total in MW and storage ratio?!?! Completely agnostic to the storage device characteristics!!!
If I know the storage is 60% full and has a total capacity of 100 MW - and a default ratio of power to storage of 4:1 then I know I can push 40 x 4 = 160 MW at the device to fill it. Plus if device is sending out updating in intervals - I might send it 100MW - then it says it is 85% full - so I adjust accordingly.
Once it is full it sends "Stop!" - simple!
If you want to get clever on your backend systems - you may track actual storage ratio achieved compared to default - or the device can adjust that itself.
Thanks, DW
