…energy (in Joules) as its absolute temperature rises (in Kelvin). It underpins the Boltzmann distribution and the Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions, which matter in modelling gases, energy flows, efficiency, chemical processes and…
…solar and other semiconductor chips (over here, model here). Global polysilicon production capacity likely reaches 1.65MTpa in 2023 and global polysilicon production reaches 1MTpa. For context, production of the key…
…For the ultimate space requirements of the CCS plant, multiply by 2-5x, for the desorbers, utilities, piping and balance of plant. This model calculates the size of the absorber unit…
…to decarbonize ammonia, steel, petrochemicals and other materials. More broadly, other commentators have published huge forecasts for green hydrogen. But what is actually realistic in our hydrogen supply model? And…
…hydrogen storage model and broader hydrogen research. Storage costs are lowest for underground gas storage, with a median $0.4/m3 of storage capacity. The key reason is scale. The average facility…
…our model is intended as a simple, 30-line calculator to compute the likely power flow, electricity use and losses in a MOSFET. This should enable decision makers to ballpark the…
…4-hours. Faster charging and discharging are possible, but they may invalidate the battery’s warranty. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2022/09/29/battery-degradation-causes-effects-implications/ Grid modelling: why we prefer kW and $/kW metrics? When we start modelling the integration…
…CO2 avoided. We have written a research note (below) aiming to answer this question and this data-file contains the underlying modelling. https://thundersaidenergy.com/2023/12/07/solar-and-wind-what-decarbonization-costs/ The CO2 abatement costs of solar and wind…
…comparing the companies by solar module selling prices ($/kW), margins (%), efficiency (%), transparency, and technology development. $599.00 – Purchase Checkout Added to cart Solar modules are produced when photovoltaic silicon (model…
…our electrolyser cost model, and the numbers can be stress-tested in this data-file. The key challenge with Nafion and other PFSA membranes in a hydrogen electrolyser is hydrogen crossover. For…
