Using temperature sensors is a pretty odd way to measure your grid, don't you think so?
You implied they use temperature as proxy measure for the power going through the lines, instead of measuring the power.
I'd be wearing a sweater or a jacket....not both.
I also would not wear both
You have some serious misconceptions.
Either it is a linguistic problem, that you do not grasp the meaning of words, or you are a kind of autist.
I am happy that you are not in my team.
I simply do not like to argue about idiotic claims like this:
C is not unsafe, the developer writes unsafe C code, C is just as safe as Rust,
If you do not intentionally write unsafe code in Rust: the code is safe.
If you write C, then frankly, an uneducated moron - or idiotic nitpicker - like you seem to be: does not know if the code is safe or not.
Without explicitly using "unsafe" it is impossible to write unsafe code in Rust.
Has nothing to do with "heating up".
The original claim was: the grid got overloaded. Which is in a sane grid impossible.
And now your parent says """At 3:42 p.m., a power line sagged into filbert trees near Hillsboro, Oregon, just southwest of Portland." This developed into a cascading failure that affected a very large region.""
Which is the opposite of an "overloaded" grid. It is a broken grid.
""At 3:42 p.m., a power line sagged into filbert trees near Hillsboro, Oregon, just southwest of Portland." This developed into a cascading failure that affected a very large region.
And what has that to do with: "the grid gets overloaded"?
Nothing obviously.
The opposite happend. The grid got cut into pieces and the areas that were not connected anymore: lost power. Same what happens to your computer when you pull the plug - oops.
We talked about 12C not about 20C.
Why would they need a warrant? Flock consents to their customers accessing Flock's data.
[various anticipated objections] Yes, but this is in America.
So many Hollywood scriptwriters who lazily decided, "I'll just use Nazis for the bad guys, they're universally-recognized evergreen enemies," are facepalming these days.
(I'm just speculating.) People don't need help with selling fun things; they want a 'bot that can sell the crap which humans have given up on. Anthropic doesn't want to sell widgets; they want to sell stores which sell widgets (sort of like selling pickaxes instead of getting into mining).
The rational is, a grid is run by "main power", which is divided into three layers:
- base load
- load following
- balancing power
The batteries are used for balancing power, because the react much much faster than a load following plant.
Then, behind the "main power", you have "reserve power".
And power means: power not energy.
Reserve power is also divided into three layers:
- seconds reserve, "spins up in few seconds" and only needs to last seconds, usually 90 - perhaps more
- minute reserve, "spins up in minutes", like above, only lasts several minutes, but can be indefinitely in case of a gas turbine for example
- hour reserve, "spins up in hours", lasts hours, or indefinitely in case for example a coal plant
So, you either use the battery for balancing power or in your case for "seconds reserve" power. Bonus point of the battery, same like pumped storage: it balances in both ways.
In other words, if the grid frequency drops because an idiot pushed the button on his aluminium smeltery, without consulting with the power company/grid operator, the balancing power is by far not enough, and the load following power can't react fast enough. So my "seconds reserve" has to buffer the problem until minutes reserve takes over which buffers the problem until "load following" is ramped up to fix it - or hour reserve has to ramp up, if the load following plants are at max capacity.
The only thing interesting in this scenario is the POWER of every short term plant involved because it is a ladder of plants that jump in, and replace the ones that are running out of energy.
In other words, you might have a puny 1MW battery, that only stores 0.2MWh, but I know I can use it for 2 or 5 minutes
He probably has corrected his stance already in a different video.
He has quite a few where he was utterly wrong, and has a follow up video that corrects.
Batteries have extremely low losses, the total efficiency of a system easy reaches 95% or more.
They use this number 17,000 MW
Because they failed like you to convert it into: 17GW.
And, I bet that solar and wind powered battery system is backed with a NatGas power plant or three that are just pumping out pollution
And what is your problem with that?
The energy produced by solar, and stored in batteries is pointless because at other times a NatGas plant has to jump in?
Silly attitude.
The death toll of wind mills to birds is nearly zero.
Birds are not stupid enough to fly into a wind mill.
If migrating swarms/flocks are detected, wind mills get often powered down.
No idea what a hydro line is
We are talking about 12 degrees Celsius.
Perhaps you should convert it into the unit you are using normally.
If you can cope at 12C in a T-shirt
He can't even cope with 0.5mv^2
Why would I not cope with that?
Your mental problems are not my mental problems.
