Power plants get every watt of energy possible to extract. That mazda skyactiv or the volvo turbo compound are the highest efficiency motive engines. Both those systems are fickle and expensive.I didn't realize the energy density of these batteries. Thanks for the study, I had no idea there is so much available energy stored in them.
Side question, do you power them up from the coal fired plant down the road? Just asking out of curiosity.
The average piston engine turn 25% of the heat into mechanical energy. The average natural gas plant turns 50-60% of the heat into mechanical energy.
