…the power drops due to the sun setting. Then we aggregated all of the second-by-second volatility and power drops. The typical second-by-second volatility of solar power is surprisingly high, with…
This data-file compares electricity prices (in c/kWh) vs power grids’ CO2 intensities (in kg/kWh), country-by-country. Retail electricity prices average 11c/kWh globally, of which 50-60% is wholesale power generation, 25-35% is…
This data-file is a simple loss attribution for a thermal power plant. For example, a typical coal-fired power plant might achieve a primary efficiency of 38%, converting thermal energy in…
…power transmission lines and 110M kilometers of power distribution lines. Useful rules of thumb follow below. $549.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart What are circuit kilometers? One ‘network kilometer’ of power…
…oil products to the facility. Levelized costs of diesel power generation can be stress-tested in this economic model. $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart A diesel genset includes an engine, power…
…progress may lead to bottlenecks, then a boom? This 12-page note quantifies rising power grid metals demand, demand for circuit kilometers, and who benefits? $499.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Power…
…‘over-built’ (chart below). In turn, this means that power prices will become increasingly volatile. Around one-third of the time, when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, power…
…as clearly as possible. The fundamental of electrical power, including key units of measurement, are covered on pages 4-5, again introducing the key concepts from first principles. Conventional power turbines…
…includes our overview of how power grids work, overview of reactive power compensation, long-distance power transmission, transformers and how hot temperatures strain power grids. We think optimization of the power…
…20% load factor. So “replacing” 1 typical coal plant with 1 grid connection requires c100 solar plants with c100 grid connections. This may impact the demand for power grids and…
