…days. What implications? This all makes it challenging to back up a wind-powered grid with batteries, but it is advantageous for demand-shifting. Inter-correlations between different solar assets is tabulated here….
…In turn, low-carbon turquoise hydrogen could be produced from low-carbon electricity (most likely a mixture of wind, solar, nuclear and hydro). Now the cost is more than blue hydrogen, but…
…how wind, solar, gas turbines and transmission & distribution line losses all degrade at higher temperatures, making power generation in heatwaves more difficult. Thus during a heat wave, this seemingly…
…Green ammonia is also an option, although after reflecting the CO2 embedded in wind and solar projects, and the need for higher-carbon electricity to maximize utilization rates, we are not…
…possible at a delivered power price below 10c/kWh, which is highly competitive. The model captures the costs, gross CO2 intensity and nature-based offset requirements from a mixture of wind, solar,…
…2030, due to electrification, solar, EVs and the rise of AI. However RP ratios for the ten largest companies in the peer group have decreased from 28 years in 2013-14 to 27.5 years in…
…solar hardly generate any electricity at all, or other complications with the power grid (below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/2021/09/16/power-grids-tenet/ (5) Restoring degraded natural ecosystems can absorb around 200-400 tons of incremental CO2 per…
…are described on pages 6-7, including how they synchronize and supply crucial inertia and reactive power. Solar generation is described on pages 8-9, including the physics of bandgaps, and the…
…nuclear plant. But the average facility is 1.1GW. So even a 1% ramp rate is equivalent to adding 10MW per minute, similar in size to the average utility-scale solar plant….
…7). Inflationary feedback loops have been a recurring topic in our recent research, and steel makes an interesting case study. Steel is used in wind, solar, power distribution, batteries, hydrogen…
