Hello everyone.
So i live in Lebanon, and since a long time now we have constant power cuts, almost half the day each day. For that the Lebanese made up a system in which each neighborhood has power generators providing electricity to the residents when the power is out. Usually the owners of these generators would charge an average of 100$/month for a 5A/220V AC subscription. You'd have circuit breakers on the street for 5A or 10A depending on the subscription, so it doesn't matter how much energy you use, you will have to pay the same, usually i use 2.5A on average and the excess energy goes as extra profit for the owner of the generator. My question is, how would it be possible to use the remainder of the 5A perhaps to store the energy when not needed and then when energy is needed to go beyond the 5A limitation.
