Wind power: personal perspective

By Sarah kass

Last summer I visited Holland windmill, the original home. Surprisingly, I saw a few the quaint structure we associate with Dutch wind power. A hundred years ago has about 10,000 wooden Holland windmill ornament magnificent natural landscape. Today, nearly 10% of existence. What I see is high-tech wind turbines, white and saving and grace and power generating wind from the north sea.

Many view these modern tower as eyesore, but I see them as symbol of hope. Like giant spent on landscape, they represent the give me a clean energy future. But wind and solar power — – an obstacle to doubt renewable energy fuel would be more than a fraction of America’s strength. These energy cannot expect when night falls or the wind had died. Natural condition put forward the problems of desire to people all over the world power. If extra strength can be stored on a grand scale, it might solve many of our energy problems.

It was not the electronic energy and are not can store, but as Andrew tang, senior executives PG&Es meter plan, points out that the current generation of battery don’t store electricity price that deal. But he also from California Berberich and Steve system operators is optimistic for the future of the storage of possibilities. Tang describes experimental project use sodium sulfur battery 18 wheel truck size trailer. Batteries must be located a transformer substation or other network, it will be stored in the spirit of The Times of peak demand. He also talked about the future of insert electric batteries can be stored energy, in theory, put it back on a grid do not use these cars.

Berberich imagination of several possibilities store surplus power. He proposed that hydrogen convert, this could be a natural gas factory or available for fuel cells. He suggested that I use the power to compress air, can flow to the ground, calling for when the wind and the sun is not poor.

Whatever the final solution storage, you can guarantee replacement, then this game on renewable energy industry. Wind and solar power will no longer be regarded as not reliable. Hope this missing puzzle piece also require long move to help our dependence on fossil fuels. But still take challenges all questions can keep your skin clean, green energy in the grid. You can be sure that environmental protection, partition, aesthetics, cost is undoubtedly a bad temper.
