Denmark has been a global leader in sustainability, and has pledged to reduce its carbon emissions by 70% by 2030. While the country is one of the world’s largest producers of wind and solar renewable energy, it faces the issue of renewable energy being weather-dependent and prone to fluctuation.

JUNE 7, 2021

In today’s Electrek Green Energy Brief (EGEB): Hitachi ABB Power Grids launches transformer products for offshore floating wind farms. Turbine installation is complete at Denmark’s largest wind farm, the offshore Kriegers Flak. Tesla now offers price matching, so it’s important to shop for the best quotes.

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

The development engineers are also investigating how the constant switching on and off of the batteries affects the power grid; the harmonics this generates could knock the grid out of sync. The associated technology for vehicles and the grid will be developed and prepared for use over the next two years.

Siemens presents three-point plan for implementing cost-efficient energy transition in Germany

Relying on a higher share of efficient, low-emission combined cycle power plants and wind energy could save €150 billion (US$200 billion) by 2030 while attaining the same CO 2 targets, Siemens says. The country should give greater priority to high-efficiency combined cycle power plants and wind power, the company suggests.

Most recently, Toyota announced that its fuel cell sedan would also be available in the UK, USA, Germany and Denmark during the summer of 2015. This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing power grid can accept more renewable sources. It’s time to debunk a number of myths.

A key thing, he said, will be to recharge the batteries at an acceptable time for the electricity grid — to “make sure people aren’t charging at the very peak, peak time,” like late afternoon when the electricity grid is already weighted down by demands like air conditioning. Build the damn cars and watch us change our habits.

There are at least a half dozen different technologies to power cars with electricity under construction. Better Place is building stations in San Francisco, Hawaii, Israel, and Denmark to swap out 1,000 pound batteries in a car wash type set up. The electricity for recharging has to come from somewhere, which means power plants.

80x30: U.S. Clean Energy Standard Accelerates Transition to Renewables

Cars That Think

AUGUST 26, 2021

To reach the 80x30 goal, the US power grid would need to add between 60 and 80 GW of new clean power every year (double the record 35 GW of renewables added in 2020). Clean energy projects, such as wind and solar farms, would see a windfall. So it's unclear just how much solar, wind, and batteries would grow.
