Anyway, seeing as how you've probably gone into your cry-closet for a timeout, I'm going to continue.

I'll concede that the battery is able to make money under a slightly dubious, ancilliary services AKA frequency control. This can only be limited in scope due to the limited inertia that a 150MW generation can provide, meaning it won't be doing any frequency control during a more serious step-change in supply or demand as occurs with a supply failure or very big industrial customer on/offlining.

The battery was introduced following the 2016 outage and therefore it isn't fair to claim that there was never a goal to support the S.A. grid in the case where S.A. grid becomes islanded.

Second, either it is your goal to eliminate fossil fuels or it isn't. You can't have it both ways. I laid out in my so-called 'maths fail' what would happen if the only non-fossil despatchable generation had to support the S.A. temporarily-islanded grid. I stand by the so-called maths fail and I challenge you to prove me wrong in that approximately 94% of the 2500MW demand would have to be shed for the 150MW battery to be online, and when online would supply the remaining 6% for at most 1.3hrs.

In a real-world scenario there exists both gas and diesel in addition to the battery. Only despatchable counts.

Either you start making actual valid argument or you go away.

Still waffling, ducking and weaving and making excuses ?

I'm still waiting for the facts to back up this fairy tail .

" The batteries all fail to provide the first function due to their limited capacity relative to the demand, i.e. hundreds of megawatts versus gigawatts. Secondly, it is unknown as to, if they were to pass the first requirement, whether they would simulate anything near the required inertia of a synchronous machine. "

When are you going to post some proof for that whopper ?

That's the third of fourth time I've asked you to do that. You've written a cheque that you can't cash .

Hornsdale won't do any serious frequency control ? There's yet another of your foot in mouth moments.

Now you're claiming the Hornsdale battery isn't capable of supporting the SA grid by itself ? Who ever said it could ? Only an idiot thinks a 150mw battery can support a 2500mw grid by itself for any period of time. It is an absolutely pointless suggestion.

You're a showbag shock jock. I've have exposed how little you know about the network. You are trying to lie your way out of your original waffle.

Go and tell some lies somewhere else.
