Someone came up with the idea to build the world’s largest solar array in the Australian outback and then connect it to Singapore with a 3,750-kilometre undersea cable. This is how it'll be done. For more by Tomorrow's Build subscribe now - bit.ly/3vOOJ98

@afh7689 3 года назад

The depth is just one issue. There's a large subduction zone where one plate slides under the other. This was what caused the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. The cable would have to deal with both the subduction and the possibility of the ground shifting several feet in the event of the fault rupturing. If they don't, then Singapore would need adequate alternative power generation capability to deal with the very real possibility of this cable breaking and being unusable for weeks if it is damaged during a megathrust earthquake along the subduction zone.

Its interesting youve gone completely anti renewables? 15 years ago was not the best time to go completely off grid. Its immesurably easier to do so now. I am surprised that youre not up with the latest renewable options and real facts.. In your view is it just pointless and we should all just go back to being hunters and gatherers ? Its probabaly not a bad option. Is it better to burn coal and make solar panels or just burn coal and make heat which boils water to drive a turbine which makes electricity?

@iain3713 3 года назад

The ac dc stuff is wrong. The thing that makes it low loss is the high voltage, when transmitting in the air we use high voltage ac since it’s really easy to use a transformer to raise the voltage of ac current. However underwater, the cables have a much higher capacitance, this results in energy losses in ac, but not in dc, so extra effort is put in with hvdc cables. (This explanation may be a bit wrong)

@daskurka 3 года назад

Yeah they got it pretty wrong, generally AC is used for power transmission nationally and in peoples homes BECAUSE of its efficiency over distance when compared to DC. When we talk about HVDC and HVAC its a completely different world, the are many reasons why HVDC is better for a long distance underwater cables like you suggested. I think the thing that got me though was 'You will remember from school...' - how many schools actually teach V=IR, power factor or any basic electrical theory these days?

@juststeve7665 3 года назад

your answer is far more correct than the video.

@Cyberguy42 3 года назад

"You may remember from school" That part drove me crazy too. In high school I learned why transformers reduce transmission losses, and I have since taught hundreds of engineering students the relevant circuit principles to understand for themselves why that is the case, and if someone remembers any thing about circuits from school they will conclude that the video is just wrong. Only a small percentage of people understand parasitic capacitances and the effect on power factor, and even fewer would think of applying those principles here.

I'm confused. So they convert the electricity from Ac to DC power to go under the sea? I thought Ac was invented so long transmissions don't have so much of a loss. They convert the power from DC to Ac when it comes out of the solar panel, then transmit it to the coast then convert it back to DC bring it to Singapore then convert it back to Ac to the individual power outlet where it is converted by most electrical devices back to dc

@WyattH 3 года назад

Ac was invented for long distance yes but at a certain point DC is actually more efficient

@Ct5678912 3 года назад

As long as the voltage is high enough to minimize resistive loss, DC is always better than AC for power transmission, especially for underwater cable, where the capacitive loss of AC is huge! AC was thought to be better in the old days as the voltage of AC can be stepped up or down easily by using a transformer, while DC can't. But now, with the advancement of power electronics, converters can handles higher voltage and power, so AC can be rectified to DC before underwater transmission to reduce losses.

@@moritz5555 Your statement assumed a circuit with only a voltage source and a wire that short circuited it with no load. The current with no doubt will be extremely large. However, you cannot apply Ohm's Law directly on a transmission cable because it is not a load and theoretically does not consumes any power. The loss on the cable is usually calculated by I^2R, where R is a constant. That's why current should be minimized. The power transmitted by the cable can be calculated by P=VI. To maintain the same power transfer capacity P, while minimizing current I, you need high voltage.

@SanctuaryLife 3 года назад

A high voltage DC combined with an adequately thick cable will give smaller losses than AC.

Should do something similar in the USA with states like NV, AZ and CA, whereby CA desalinates water and AZ/NV provide a bunch of solar energy. Then CA/AZ or NV can provide each other with power/water at hugely discounted rates. Solves water issue for many and also worries about power.

HVDC - prevents capacitive issues with super long undersea cables, and maximises power transmission for a given cable insulation level. Downside is the power electronics required at either end for conversion to AC. The reason everything else is AC is because it's very convenient to change voltage levels using a transformer, it also can drive inexpensive motors well.

only on the surface. It actually makes a LOT of sense when it's full potential is considered. Australia has vast desert areas for collecting the sun's rays & also has one of the world's biggest lithium reservoirs & all other natural resources to build solar panels & batteries & 50% of the world's population live within a little circle of the globe just north of Australia, so this sounds big & crazy, but if it works out, it will be just the start of powering nearly half the world's population

Nuclear is not dangerous and can be built in ships and anchored just off the paranoia boundary, the limit where people are just going to accept it. A 3-5 Km undersea cable from a couple of floating nuclear power plants like the Academic Lomonosov providing around the clock power in a way higher percentage than that 20% seems like a better idea than this.

I suspect that a pumped-storage, closed-circuit hydro-electric system would be cheaper as well as lasting 5 times longer, requiring much less maintenance and not being full of toxic chemicals like batteries are. All you need is a dam or tank at the top of a hill, another at the bottom and a penstock connecting the two.

There is a similar (though probably smaller, but I haven't checked the sizes) project to build a solar farm in north Africa and connect it via an undersea cable to the UK. The site has been carefully chosen to avoid areas that local power companies have any plans to build solar farms in so prime land is not being "stolen" from locals or anything like that.
