FREEZING ENERGY SURPLUS Surplus electricity generated at Generators fueled with coal can be night and on weekends might some turned off at night but the furnaces day be stored like food in a kind of must be kept burning. And nuclear deep freeze, to be used at periods energy plants cannot be turned off when demand exceeds supply. This at all. The excess energy is thrown is a proposal of physicists at Fermi away. National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of Wisconsin that calls for storing energy at super-cold temperatures to stretch power resources. Most generating plants are oper- ated at a fairly constant rate for maximum efficiency, and it is difficult to adjust output to de- mand. At night and on weekends, when demand is less, utilities gener- ate more electricity than is used. If a successful large-scale method of storage could be devised, the excess generated during off-peak hours could be salvaged, just as leftovers from a big meal can be saved and served later. A number of proposals for storage of energy, including the use of batteries,, are being studied by nuclear physicists and electric utilities. The world's most powerful nuclear accelerator is at Fermilab, and demands for power to operate it fluctuate widely-from a few megawatts to 300 megawatts for a few seconds at a time. Laboratory scientists joined with a group from Wisconsin that earlier had begun a study of possible energy storage systems. The proposed system involves a super-conducting magnetic coil im- mersed in liquid helium at ex- tremely cold temperaturesâ450 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Current fed into super-conducting magnets cooled to such a degree produces a magnetic field that is maintained with the addition of more electricity.
