. . . The solution is not to load the generating system fully, allow some reserve power for short duration high demand. . .
Ok, that could work. How many battery systems are you going to need to have doing nothing, to replace a conventional power station of 2000MW? Remember you need to account for changes in system load, generators dropping off the bars, as well as phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth faults on the power system. Is this as cost effective as running a conventional power station?
