Randahl FinkWhile Trump is holding rallies claiming that wind turbines do not work, I am looking at the realtime view of Danish power generation…
Total electricity consumption: 5817 MW
Total electricity production from wind: 6436 MW
Kevin RussellIs 600 MW exported?
Rad und TatGreat. I hope that batteries soon provide another use for surplus.
@kevinrns @randahl Batteries are great, but they are second best to using the electricity when it is available. Load balancing is key and often overlooked, from dynamic pricing to get people to charge their cars etc during a glut, to ramping up industrial production during predictable hours of cheap energy (eg daytime in summer), there's a huge amount that can be done.
For batteries think water tower. Once the water tower goes up water and water pressure is ubiquitous and simple.
Battery, found everywhere, cheap and smartly connected so no outage is a system outage.
My ceiling and lamp LED light bulbs that detect power outages and run on -their own- batteries until power is back (windy locale, private power (sigh))
Solar energy fed ubiquitous batteries.
Solar atop every roof. Battery Ubiquity.
