Sentences with phrase «peak wind production»
But when it became clear that there was money involved — cooling primarily during hours of peak wind production will be cheaper than just drawing electricity at all hours — the proposal became a lot more appealing.

Increasing value of prediction One way to overcome energy output challenges is to anticipate peaks and valleys in wind electricity production.
This nighttime wind - down allows for DNA repair, cellular energy production and detox, which peak after dark due to an increased blood flow to the skin.
While less efficient, off peak or remote solar and wind offer clean hydrogen production with electrolysis.
Additionally, in many regions, peak wind (see Figure 4 below) and solar production match up well with peak electricity demand.
Modeling has also shown that it's relatively inexpensive to increase the reliability of the total wind output to a level equivalent to a coal - fired power station by adding a few low - cost peak - load gas turbines that are opearated infrequently, to fill in the gaps when the wind farm production is low (Diesendorf 2010).
From the article:... Wind and solar are about to become unstoppable, natural gas and oil production are approaching their peak, and electric cars and batteries for the grid are waiting to take over.
«This is almost a mirror image of wind production patterns: wind is highest in the spring and fall, when electricity needs are lowest, and lowest in summer when electricity demand peaks,» the report notes.
«Off peak» solar would require the addition of storage batteries while nocturnal winds would need to cooperate with the production schedule to avoid at least supplemental nuke / fossil sources of electricity.
The neat thing about renewable power in Texas is that West Texas wind, Coastal wind and solar all complement each other very nicely for peak production.
Production was set to peak in the late afternoon Friday and taper off as turbines automatically begin to shut down, according to Simon Mahan, a director at Southern Wind Energy Association.
An earlier EWEA Tradewind study found that, for the 2020 medium scenario (200 GW, 12 % wind penetration), aggregating wind energy production from multiple countries strongly increased the capacity credit, the amount of capacity that can be relied on to meet peak demand, almost doubled it to 14 %, which they say corresponds to approximately 27 GW of firm power in the system.
For the 2020 Medium scenario the countries studied showed an average annual wind capacity factor of 23 — 25 %, rising to 30 — 40 %, when considering power production during the 100 highest peak load situations — in almost all the cases studied, it was found that wind generation produces more than average during peak load hours.
The intermittent nature of solar and wind will only start to become a problem when they represent a significant portion of our energy production, essentially when peak wind and solar production exceeds current demand.
On the rare spring and summer days when bright sunshine comes with strong winds, pushing renewable power production to a peak, Germany can almost cover its entire electricity demand with green power, at least for a few hours at a time.
