Put the blame where it belongs.

Quote:
The Australian Energy Market Operator called – as it often does – for generators in South Australia to provide a modest amount of network services known as FCAS, or frequency control and ancillary services.
...
The big gas generators – even though they have 10 times more capacity than is required – have systematically rorted the situation, sometimes charging up to $7m a day for a service that normally comes at one-tenth of the price.
The gas cartel was driving up the cost of electricity and driving out the business.
The battery prevents that.

Apart from that kind of interventions the battery operates on the second and millisecond level. A day scale does not do it justice.
