🔋 Grid Energy Storage: 2D Pumped Hydro and Flow Battery

2D grid-balancing model with a pumped-hydro plant and a vanadium flow battery: drag the demand curve points and the reservoir head, and watch a daily chart of solar, wind, demand, curtailment, imports and storage dispatch together with a live schematic of both plants.
