…Again, biomass and diesel plants can have high particulate emissions. Gas fired power plants seem to have particulate emissions well below 1ppm. Underlying data on different power plants are broken…
This data-file aggregates significant US power grid disruptions, based on data from the DOE. On average, there are 250 power cuts per year in the United States, lasting for a…
…90% of that previous 10-minute average power output. The average power drop is the average reduction in power output during the duration of the power drop, compared to the prior…
…NET Power addresses the challenges, based on its patents. Can we de-risk Net Power’s technology? Our NET Power technology review shows over ten years of progress, refining the design of…
…Formulae for the losses in a power MOSFET? This data-file aims to calculate the power losses of a power MOSFET from first principles, covering I2R conduction losses, voltage drops across…
…lack of inertia, reactive power and fault current (notes below). https://thundersaidenergy.com/2021/09/16/power-grids-tenet/ https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/power-electronics-problems-and-solutions/ A final issue with wind and solar is that they may see some inflation in their future costs….
…reforestation, restoring soil carbon and biomass burial. These are the largest and lowest cost options in the energy transition. They will ramp up vastly in the 2020s, creating new opportunities…
This data-file is an overview of wind power physics. Specifically, how is the power of a wind turbine calculated, in MW, as a function of wind speed, blade length, blade…
This data-file contains the output from some enormous data-pulls, evaluating UK grid power generation by source, its volatility, and the relationship to hourly traded power prices. We conclude the grid…
…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…
