My experience in Germany is that as the favourable tariffs are reduced each year these wind towers are looking for opportunities to extract more or better revenue from their process.
Since the grid doesn't store electricity it only moves it - being able to convert off-peak wind energy which today is essentially wasted into a medium which is then used to produce on-peak electricity seems to make perfect sense.
Detractors say this method is inefficient and in the end will not be profitable but I'd like to hear from some of the experts on this site
Thanks.
