Transpower warns of possible power shortages on Friday

    The peak-trough consumption difference seems to be about 2GW, and wind generation averages about 400MW but can hit 900MW

  • Disagree.

    They can't do it through software, but a wireless charger is inducing a current in a coil.

It could be limited to these devices because of a particular resonance or harmonic they share
