ac power cant be stored
It is much easier to store DC power. Although you might be able to make a case of "stored AC power" - such as the turning mass of a generator - the kinetic energy of this turning mass is converted into AC current - When load suddenly increases, some of this stored kinetic energy is converted into extra electric energy, and the speed the mass is turning at will begin to decay. Before it decays too much (hopefully), the governor on the generator will increase mechanical energy to the spinning mass to keep the speed at the desired value. So in effect a (small?) amount of energy is being stored in the spinning mass, which is then converted to AC power.

In a power station where dc is actually converted to ac while distribution?
The generated voltage in a power station is AC voltage, not DC. So, it is never converted to AC, because it is already AC.
Can you convert an ac fridge to dc?
My husband said without hesitation AC!! DC power comes from batteries, AC power comes from electricity((generating power))....
What are the uses of ac DC converter?
You can power your DC toys with the AC power plugs in the house. Like a Radio without using batteries.
Is the power line voltage available in your homes a DC or an AC voltage?
We deliver power on the power grid as an AC voltage. That's alternating current, and that's what is available in your home.
What is ac in Ac Adapter?
The AC power adapter is used to power electronics of many kinds. Some popular electronics include tape recorders, VHS players, laptops, and video game consoles.
How a Seminar on Why can not you store AC power in battery like DC power?
WE can not change the AC power because AC power has two magnitudes one positive and the another one is negative.when we store the AC power in positive half cycle it store the energy and in the negative half cycles it discharge the energy so it is not possible for store the AC power like DC power
Is there any method to store ac power?
You can store energy in a rotating mass such as a flywheel (there are flywheels under development that are equivalent to a few megawatts and more of instantaneous power). When you get the energy out of these devices, it will be AC.
Why can not you store AC power in battery like DC power?
Because ac is of changing polarity. It means the positive terminal becomes negative and vice versa... And this happens 60 times a second! So if we want store this, the terminals of the battery should be changed at the same speed as that of the supply which is not practicable ( and in theory it can be done by a electronic switch which constantly changes its polarity). So its better to convert this ac to dc, store it and then again to ac as in the case of a UPS.
Why cannot store the ac power in battery?
Because batteries have fixed polarity, whereas AC requires that the polarity is switched, normally 50-60 times per second.
Why home inverter store dc but run appliances on ac?
bcoz it is costly to develop ac...and dc can be store nor ac
How do you make a inverter?
Capacitors to store DC voltage, transistors to switch power to the AC load, plus control circuitry to time the switching to match the (assumed) 60Hz AC frequency.
How do you make a 1000watt inverter?
Capacitors to store DC voltage, transistors to switch power to the AC load, plus control circuitry to time the switching to match the (assumed) 60Hz AC frequency.
What IS AC power and DC power?
AC Power is Alternating Current whereas DC Power is Direct Current.
Can AC be store?
directly? no.
Function of AC motor?
To convert ac electric power into mechanical power.
How do you calculate 3ph AC motor power?
How do you calculate 3ph AC motor power?
Is ac power produced first in a dc generator?
It can be, however AC power is generally produced directly by an AC alternator/generator.
