why AC cannot to be stored and DC cannot be transmitted?

Answer Posted / gurusaran

We cannot store AC in batteries because AC changes its polarity upto 50 (When frequency = 50 Hz) or 60 (When frequency = 60 Hz) times in a second. Therefore the battery terminals has to be changed with the same frequency in order to store the power but practically this doesn't happen.That’s why we can’t store AC in Batteries.
Also when we connect a battery with AC Supply, then It gets charged during positive half cycle and discharged during negative half cycle.Since the net stored charge during Positive (+ve) half cycle cancels the negative (-Ve) half cycle,the average voltage or current in a complete cycle is Zero.Hence it is not possible to store AC power in the Batteries.
Also note that Average Voltage x Average Current ≠ Average Power.

A commercial Building is designed with 14th floor levels with indoor substation of three phase transformer with rated capacity of 1000 Kva.The transformer delivered 65% of its rated capacity at 0.67 power factor lagging.Because of low power factor, the power customer was penalized and certain cost was charged accordingly based on every point percentage lower than 85%.This situation may repeatedly happen on the succeding energy bills of power customer.The power customer is desired to improve its historical power factor of 0.67 lagging and no further penalty be impose by the local power company on the next bill. Q: Identify the appropriate solution you want to offer to Client?.Justify SCIENTIFICALLY and MATHEMATICALLY the principles behind the solution.
