It probably didn't work as it looks like it could be the poor little earthing transformer.
North Hyde substation looked like it had deluge fire suppression from street view, I guess that didn't work? #fire #london #substation

I was intrigued about the heat battery at #Västerås, it feels like it solves a very niche problem. I think we would benefit from more thermal mass at home and may explore a little further. #heatpump #geothermal

Was keeping an eye on the #elexon capacity market notifications for 16:30 and was wondering if #octopus were going to get involved with their #savingsession and yes. Looking forward to today's session!

This is a good time to read a long, beautiful article about maintaining undersea cables.

The invisible seafaring industry that keeps the internet afloat

The global internet relies on 800,000 miles of undersea cables that are constantly breaking — this is the story of the 22 aging ships that fix them.

The US will be isolated and will now certainly lose the global cleantech race.

China is the world’s #1 emitter, but it is accelerating its energy transition at unprecedented speed and scale as it leads in R&D, investment, manufacturing, deployments and exports across all cleantech fronts: solar, wind, batteries, EVs, hydro and grid

Trump’s return is a catastrophe for climate and US energy transition, and China wins the cleantech race

Trump’s sweeping victory is bad news for climate action and the US energy transition, but it leaves China as the big winner.

Is everyone aware that flights are (often much) cheaper than trains in Europe because aviation fuel isn't taxed?
Australia’s main grid just went over 50% rooftop solar powered for the first time.
When you include solar farms, wind farms and hydro the “NEM” was over 70% renewable.
I by the way check out the price MINUS $175.70 / MWh. #Energy #renewables #nem

It has been hard work but the system I had significant input into the design, implementation and testing is now working in open loop mode in the production environment.

This system uses #SmartMeters to optimise #voltage at the customer in an attempt to reduce overall consumption on the #ElectricalGrid
