Thank you for the info. Load shedding info from Florida. We have Ice Plants that are helping schools and buildings stay cool at 12:00 noon when the chiller plant shuts down. These plants are run by EMS systems. At 9:00 PM at night the chiller plant would start up and make ice. 12:00 noon we called it burn mode and this would help FPL with loads to residential. We had 20 Ice plants.
Great comment Doz !! Thanks for sharing this idea, it makes so much sense.
