This is nothing more than power factor correction. It's been done for years in industrial and commercial applications on inductive loads. It is done by storing electricity in capacitors. When your demand exceeds a certain level the caps discharge providing a "boost". By getting the extra demand from the caps you reduce the demand required from the utility thereby reducing the demand charge on your bill.
