The Problem With Renewable Energy (and how we're fixing it)

Energy Efficiency No Comments »

( This isn’t a sponsored video, but I am massively grateful to all the team at SSE! Go look: http://sse.com/whatwedo/ourprojectsandassets/ , and pull down the description for more. )
As the world switches to renewable energy – and we are switching – there’s a problem you might not expect: balancing the grid. Rotational mass and system inertia are the things that keep your lights from flickering: and they only appear in big, old, traditional power stations. Here’s why that’s a problem, and how we’re likely going to fix it.

CORRECTION: I say that turbines spin thousands of times “per second” when it should be “per minute”. Apologies. You can find all corrections on this channel at https://www.tomscott.com/corrections/

Thanks to all the team at SSE! FULL DISCLOSURE: This is not a sponsored video, no money has changed hands, and SSE did not have editorial control. But they did go out of their way to arrange access and support for me and my team, including giving us safety training for working at heights. I am incredibly grateful to all the team: Paul and Ed for arranging it all; Bob and Scott who helped us at the turbine; and Calum, Head of Operations, who was keeping an eye on safety throughout.

The drone footage is from Cyberhawk, http://www.thecyberhawk.com: they normally do turbine inspections and land surveying, so I’d like to thank them for getting some artistic shots for us too!

And finally, my camera operator was Paul Curry, @cr3, who’s written a more experiential post with photos for Buzzfeed: https://www.buzzfeed.com/paulcurry/we-are-both-big-fans-of-electricity

Germany: The world's first major renewable energy economy

The planet Earth will be completely devastated by 2050 if natural resources will be exploited at the current rate.

«According to the scientists, in 50 years people will have to move to another planet, because life on Earth will be impossible». This statement is from 2006. And in 2018 this prediction has been confirmed by the fact that the annual volume of renewable resources of the planet ended on August 1, 2018.

Can we stop this huge conveyor? – It is difficult but possible. The key word in this mission is renewable resources.

This documentary shows renewable energy sector in Germany. The country is well known as “The world’s first major renewable energy economy”, and in this film I learned something new about green energy.

Please like, and comment below what do you think about the future of renewable energy. Would it save the Earth?

====================

Німеччина: №1 економіка з відновлювальної енергетики

Планета Земля буде повністю розорена до 2050 року, якщо природні ресурси продовжать експлуатуватись за поточним курсом.

«За словами вчених, через 50 років людям доведеться переїхати на іншу планету, тому що жити на Землі буде неможливо». Це твердження 2006-го року. А у 2018 році це передбачення підтверджується фактом, що щорічний обсяг поновлюваних ресурсів планети, закінчився ще 1 серпня 2018 року.

Чи можемо ми зупинити цей величезний конвеєр? – Це важко, але можливо. Ключовим словом у цій місії – є поновлювані ресурси!

Цей документальний фільм розповідає про Німецький сектор відновлювальної енергетики. Країна добре відома тим, що є лідируючою економікою з відновлюваної енергетики в світі, і в цьому фільмі я розповідаю про цікавинки “зеленої” енергії.

Став лайк, підписуйся і не забувай написати нижче, що саме ТИ думаєш про майбутнє відновлювальних джерел в Україні. Чи врятують вони нас? Гм??

This New Tech Could Revolutionize How We Store Renewable Energy

This New Tech Could Revolutionize How We Store Renewable Energy

Advanced CAES is a new iteration of an old technology that’s able to harness air’s elastic potential to store energy until it’s ready to be used, which could be a huge game-changer for renewable energy.

In a world in desperate need to go carbon-free, solar, wind, and renewables are the future, but our present ability to store their excess energy falls short. 

Of the many possible solutions, compressed air seems to be sweeping some in the energy sector off their feet. Compressed air energy storage, or CAES, takes advantage of air’s ability to be stored in the form of elastic potential energy until we’re ready to use it.

We’re currently grappling with modernizing the world’s power grid and a major challenge is to make renewables reliable in every situation, not just on sunny, cloud-free days. That’s because renewable energy needs to be “firmed,” meaning that it can give energy on-demand in every situation.

CAES is lauded by some in the energy sector as a sustainable way to make renewables the world’s go-to energy source, who say that this storage system could be the sustainable energy storage we’ve all been waiting for. The technology converts electrical energy into high-pressure air, which is later released to drive a turbine.

And while theoretically, CAES could be a cheaper and more sustainable alternative to batteries, there are still a few things holding it back. But an updated version of this old technology, developed by the Canadian company Hydrostor, could give CAES the boost it needs to succeed.

Find out more about Hydrostor’s plans to bring compressed air energy storage into the mainstream on this Elements.

Storing energy in compressed air could finally become cheap enough for the big time
https://qz.com/1711536/canadian-startup-hydrostor-is-storing-energy-in-compressed-air/
“Having to use an underground cavern means Hydrostor can’t build its plant just anywhere. But VanWalleghem says that, unlike the strict geological needs of oil-and-gas companies, compressed air can be stored in many types of rock formations. That means Hydrostor can technically build its plants on 70% of the planet’s landmass.”

Let’s store solar and wind energy – by using compressed air
http://theconversation.com/lets-store-solar-and-wind-energy-by-using-compressed-air-103183
“Energy is already stored, of course, in batteries or various other technologies. Even reservoirs can act as huge stores of energy. However nothing that exists or is in development can store energy as well, and as cheaply, as compressed air.”

The grid of the future will be powered by … giant subterranean bagpipes?
https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/hydrostor-grid-of-the-future/
“Right now, the world relies predominantly on two different grid energy storage techniques: pumped/dammed hydroelectricity, and batteries. Other methods do exist, but batteries and “pumped hydro,” as they call it, are by far the most common.”

It’s not in the papers but a silent revolution is moving across the world. Renewable energy is becoming cheaper than from fossil fuels. It means that progressively the choice for wind and solar energy is no longer an ethical one but an economic one. And this will speed up the transfer to renewable energy.

In countries like Brazil, Australia, Chile and parts of the United States people consider renewable energy because of financial reasons. The price of solar and wind energy will continue to drop and in more countries renewable energy will occur.

A surprising newcomer on the market is Morocco, where the government expects that in 2020 more than 40 percent of the energy could come from solar energy.

Which Renewable Energy Source is Best for the US?

Energy Efficiency No Comments »

With climate changing forcing the hand of the world’s top innovators, what poses to be the most promising renewable energy to supply the bulk of the US grid?

Wind power, nuclear, geothermal, hydroelectric, solar – all of these industries are entrenched in a deep battle to meet the future needs of the global energy market. While some countries like Costa Rica and Finland have managed to run completely off of renewables, the US is a little more slow-growing in the industry.
