Solar Energy Summary

It might be an idea to summarise the *Solar Energy category in Pharoz and put some of these posts into the Becrux (Mimosa) blog with links to the relevant Pharoz posts.The basic categories would be something like: Energy efficiency at a network level Storage of electrical energy Transport of electrical energy Fixing electrical energy Transverse horizontal wind turbines Transition from coal power to renewables (system wide) Carbon dioxide – Removal, transformation and disposal of CO2 Applying usable kinetic energy to spacecraft through remote lasers There is a separate post for each of the broad categories above with links to the relevant Pharoz posts.

Rollie-pollie politicing

Energy security is about having energy storage to such a capacity to meet your energy needs, as well as a way to replenish the energy that is used in a timely manner. A superficial analysis of energy needs and energy security would fuse the issues of energy storage and energy sources.

Well, well, well…

The energy in coal was fixed from solar energy by vegetation thousands of years ago. That we dig up the coal, transport it to where it is used, and then burn it should not distract from why it is useful to us – coal is a physical substance that stores energy and that is easy to transport to where we need it. Energy storage capacity, for those who don’t get it – energy storage capacity…

Solar is a real option: CSIRO Report says sun will soon match coal – Canberra Times

Canberra Times: Solar is a real option: CSIRO Report says sun will soon match coal By Rosslyn Beeby Friday, 26 May 2006 Solar thermal technology is capable of producing Australia’s entire electricity demand and is the only renewable energy capable of making deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, a confidential coal research report obtained by The Canberra Times says.

Climate Change Action: Carbon Capture and Storage: What’s that about?

Climate Change Action: Carbon Capture and Storage: What’s that about? It may be that with the carbon trading credits that signing up to the Kyoto Protocol would make available, oil companies and the USA could see a substantial financial benefit in carbon capture and storage – rather than in trying to fire up the nuclear industry.

Lighter electricity storage?

One of the problems with batteries is that they are very heavy, and lead is a common component of batteries. Even these kinds of circuits with more modern battery technology may be a way to build large capacity storage relatively cheaply and in a way that could be scaled up or down.
