It’s really important to get legal storage in the hands of consumers. The power & nat gas company I work for (and the rest of investor owned utilities) are trying to maintain their monopoly and control of the production and supply 😮

@stephenbrickwood1602 3 месяца назад

The Australian electricity grid is 1 million km. To 20 million buildings. $ 1 million per km the nuclear promoters say for new grid. "So, nuclear at the existing fossil fueled generation plant is the only economic way. $millions saved on new grid construction." The promoters say. So, nuclear promoters are saying that the grids value is $1 TRILLION. If 100% electric then $TRILLIONS and $TRILLIONS more needs to be spent on the national grid capacity. Customer storage is the only thing that makes sense. Vehicles are parked 23hrs every day. EV big batteries are perfect for daily storage. And maximise the utility factor of the vehicle investment. And rooftop PV investment. And protects the grid.

Remember Kodak film and landline telephone and horse and cart and gas lighting and kerosene lighting and .... It is an economic change. The real question it how messed up it will be from vested interests. Grid owners turn 5cents kWh electricity into 50cents kWh Electricity. $billions in cashflow just in Australia. Political bs to keep the cash flow and less maintenance investment, just run it into the ground and squeeze as must profit as possible. Not even our politicians will speak up.

Direct connection can be anywhere on the transmission lines. The 1,700 transmission towers out to the Australian gold fields can have batteries at any point along the line, at each town along its length. Solar farms along its length at each town mean grid backup to everyone along the line. Each town can be part offgrid, and unload the transmission lines. Grid is protected, and backup supply.

I think decentralization is the key. There are 2 possibilities, one commercial, and one consumer. You've covered the commercial aspects, but the market for the consumer systems, decentralized into very small sub stations, or even on a single user basis. Every single person could benefit from systems designed for homes, small homes, and apartments. Lots of employment opportunities!

@tessjuel 3 месяца назад

Decentralized energy production and storage is the best solution from the consumers' point of view, from a social economic point of view and from an enviormental point of view. It's not very likely to happen though because it's not in the interest of the big corporations and they are the ones who call the shots. They want to control the power supply and be able to out-compete smaller operators and the more it is spread out, the harder it is for them to do so.

@briankearn6991 3 месяца назад

Centralized electricity production and distribution was essential in developing farming and industry. Before that, farmers and manufacturers had to develop their own power sources, windmills, with varying degrees of success. The same for homes too. Producing electricity can be dangerous and maintenance expensive. Relying on the untrained and inexperienced homeowners to install and maintain their own systems could endanger their whole neighborhood.

Hi Sam I live in Adelaide the companies are making huge money and yet all of Adelaide's power bills are ridiculously high. When wind and solar isnt generating enough is bought from interstate at a premium yes they increased to battery storage to make more money for the company it wasnt passed onto the people. I even have 11KW system that used to save me a lot almost cost neutral but now Im getting an increase bills. I love the concepts but somewhere the concepts arent making it to the users its just lining the pockets of investors

@Rohan4711 3 месяца назад

Battery stations strength is that they have ability to instantly regulate power, both up and down. That is a useful feature to stabilize the grid in the short term, from sub second to a few hours top. The drawback is that they don't produce any power and they are really expensive. They do make sense if you have poor system stability with lots of weather dependent production and no cheaper way to get the stability you need. The trick is to never get to that position. If you don't have enough production that you can plan there will be times when the weather is unfavourable, like when Adelaide gets a heat spell and most people want to run the AC. There are essentially two outcomes, either you need to bring down consumption or you will get blackouts. There are several ways to bring down consumption, like price going up a lot or controlled rolling blackouts or deal with large consumers to stop their business for a pre-agreed sum of money. Having an unstable energy system usually comes with connections to places with more stable grids. That means you are taking advantage of their grid stability because you did not want to pay for your own. In Europe we have seen huge number of problems in the grids including blackouts since the percentage of unpredictable power generation has increased.

I’ve supported the grid like many others in SA for many years but when will it become a fairer option. Surely the excess power I make is as valuable as the one I draw back.🎉

@incognitotorpedo42 3 месяца назад

No, your excess power is worth very little because it comes in the middle of the day when all the solar panels are producing power full tilt, and residential demand is not high. Price is determined by supply in demand. Supply is high, demand isn't high, so that power is worth little if anything. Later in the evening, when the sun is setting and everyone is getting home from work and cooking dinner, THEN that power would be worth a lot more. You should get a battery so you don't need to buy expensive power from your utility.

No, Adelaide is not "the only city in the world to run only on renewables". Adelaide city council purchases "green power" for its council owned buildings and facilities. It doesn't mean the whole city is run on renewable power. It just means the council pays a bit more for electricity and its usage is allocated or offset to renewable sources. I can do the same thing but it doesn't change where my power comes from. The power lines still come from the giant gas fired power plants as well as the solar farm and wind farms. The councils usage is also a tiny fraction of the total power a city uses. If the city had been completely powered by renewables and the battery system it would have been a real disaster when the battery caught fire in 2022 wouldn't it. The battery systems are just buffers for the normal grid system so they don't have to spool generation up and down so fast, which can lead to blackouts.

Agree if you aren't reading Renew Economy you should be. They are far and away the best way of understanding both that the grid in Australia is really complex and where the issues are. If Australians spent just one hour a week reading their articles or listening to their podcasts our politicians would not be able to present policies that make no sense in the Australian grid and would be able to present better policy because people would know basic stuff like the solar duck curve. Because if you understand the duck curve you know what kind of things we need more of and what's a bad fit.

Hi Sam, looking from bottom up from house to street to community level, roof top solar with battery storage could mean a whole street of houses or block of apartment or a whole mall or factory could go off grid. This opportunity if the government allow will liberate ordinary people from the large utilities company. When implementing solar plus storage at small community scale we don't need expensive grid, step up and step down inverters, transformers and high voltage switch gear.

The sub stations are the reason modern electrical systems are so clunky, they also take up basically all the transformers Amusingly, they are also a limitation in AI, which draws more and more power from the grid Substations and our outdated electrical systems have been the biggest critique of plans for electrification, if the new powerwall actually addresses that issue, that would be the last major hurdle in the face of green electrification

@nyanbrox5418 3 месяца назад

Edit, from the looks of things, the batteries do not need an inverter for themselves directly, but the grid will still need them, meaning it is a major bottleneck, but it will be twice as easy/cost-effective to add these megapacks to the grid, so you can save the inverters for residential and commercial applications and power stations

The Australian electricity grid is 1 million km. To 20 million buildings. $ 1 million per km the nuclear promoters say for new grid. So, nuclear at the existing fossil fueled generation plant is the only economic way. $millions saved on new grid construction. So, nuclear promoters are saying that the grids value is $1 TRILLION. If 100% electric then $TRILLIONS and $TRILLIONS more needs to be spent on the national grid capacity.

I've been there and done that. It was expensive as all hell. Bigger switch yards' capacity and transformer capacity are not cheap. Today's grid is fragile because it is so expensive to build and was built to minimum engineering economic standards. The grid was built over 100 years. These little wire into your home is nothing. Except when you are a farmer that wants town electricity, and you get your quote for supply. Suburban buildings cannot start construction until supply is available.
