What exactly are we doing here, #ComEd? #chicago
#NowWatching Bad Channels (1992) 🎬 This movie has zero budget and is stupid buts incredibly fun. A bad boy radio DJ broadcasts his rock/metal show nationally and attracts the attention of aliens. They decide to use him and the music on his show to shrink local women and put them in jars. Yes you read that right. #movies #horrormovies #scifi #parody #comed
#Illinois utility tries using #electric #schoolbuses for bidirectional charging
#ComEd's #V2G pilot #school #buses will be charged at night when #electricity costs are at their lowest, but will be used as an extension of the grid during the day between runs. The battery capacity will stabilize the grid and reduce the chance of a blackout. If an outage does happen, the chargers themselves would store enough energy for the school buses to top off their batteries.

Illinois utility tries using electric school buses for bidirectional charging

School buses are usually parked when the grid is under its biggest strain.

@hacks4pancakes Here's some analysis I found: https://blog.yesenergy.com/yeblog/what-drove-the-recent-pjm-power-price-spike

Reasons for the price volatility include colder temperatures across the entire market combined with low output from wind farms. Temperatures were 10 to 30 degrees lower than the previous week.

With fewer plants already online, power price spikes are necessary to incentivize the remaining generators to increase their output to meet the heating load.

Some ComEd customers woke up on Tuesday to a text message alerting them to higher-than-expected PJM power prices. See what likely happened.

What the hell was that ComEd price spike?!? #Chicago #ComEd #power
