Why should you visit Adelaide, Australia?
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Adelaide. So I decided to make a video about why, but instead of me telling you, I asked the locals and got their thoughts instead.

World's Biggest Battery and Pumped Hydro store electric energy video
Battery storage of electricity for use in Peak Periods has been used in South Australia from the very first introduction of electricity in this State. 50 tons of Sulphuric Acid was used in the battery at East Terrace Conversion Station (CS). There were a number of Conversion Stations around Greater Adelaide. .
Metroplitan Tramways Trust (M.T.T.) had it's own Power Station at Port Adelaide to power its 100 Km of tram lines.
The video also explores possible locations for Pumped Hydro in South Australia. Pumped Hydro stores electric energy using gravity with non-drinking water.
Tesla is famous for promoted largest lithium-ion battery in the world. Samsung 21700-size cells are used.
The South Australian Weatherall Government underwrote the battery.
It is owned and operated by Neoen, with the government having the right to call on the stored power under certain circumstances.
It provides a total of 129 megawatt-hours (460 GJ) of storage capable of discharge at 100 megawatts (130,000 hp) into the power grid, which is contractually divided into two parts.
70 MW running for 10 minutes (11.7 MWh) is contracted to the government to provide stability to the grid (grid services) and prevent load-shedding blackouts while other generators are started in the event of sudden drops in wind or other network issues. This service has reduced the cost of grid services to the Australian Energy Market Operator by 90%.
30 MW for 3 hours (90 MWh) is used by Neoen for load management to store energy when prices are low and sell it when demand is high.
in December 2015 John Thistleton reported
ACT government's second large-scale wind reverse-auction has achieved Australia's lowest known contract price for renewables at $77 per megawatt hour.
The Neoen Hornsdale project in South Australia, which also secured a guaranteed feed-in tariff contract in the government's first-round wind auction, has been awarded a feed-in tariff for 100 megawatts of the available 200 megawatts in the second wind auction.
Developed by French renewable energy company Neoen International SAS, in partnership with Australian company Megawatt Capital Investments, it will power enough electricity for 56,000 Canberra homes and provide 13 per cent of the ACT's projected electricity demand in 2020.
Environment Minister Simon Corbell says the deal will deliver more than $10 million in economic benefits to the ACT as well as strengthening the territory's position as an internationally recognised centre for renewable energy innovation and investment.
Murraylink HIgh Voltvage DC interconnector would be used to get the electricity to Australian Capital Territory (ACT). This uses HVDC Light
