Green Energy and Technology - Energy for a Warming World Part 7 pps

... Second, such facilities are versatile in terms of storage capac- ity, and third, they are modular. Furthermore, charge rate, discharge rate and ca- pacity can be treated as independent variables in ... Technology Required For a parallel plate capacitor the capacitance in farads is easy to compute, being proportional to the area between the plates and inversely proportional to the...
