REASON BATTERIES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE RENEWABLE ENERGY TRANSITION

While renewable energy provides clean, sustainable power that emits little to no carbon emissions, its intermittency has long been an issue. Often criticized for not having the same base load capabilities as coal, natural gas or nuclear, renewable energy has lacked the ability to provide a constant source of energy. Furthermore, the dominance of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) has rested on the mileage of their electric counterparts  until recently.

Base load energy usually refers to the minimum power generation capability of a certain energy source, whereby it is able to produce the minimum amount of energy required by a power grid at any given time without interruption. For example, coal, nuclear, or natural gas power plants are able to assure base load power as long as there is fuel to burn, while the intermittency of renewables has always raised questions as to their reliability as a major energy source. However, as sustainable energy sources have become cheaper to implement and technological advances in power storage have revolutionized the electronics industry, there is a new debate regarding the concept of base load energy when it comes to renewables.

In recent years, the need for a centralized power source that can provide energy to an entire grid has become less persistent. A diversified energy portfolio and decentralized energy grid has become more desirable, evident in some parts of the world, like South Australia and several German regions shutting down coal-fired power plants that usually provided base load support in favor of renewable energy. Base load energy is no longer a necessity for a modern electrical grid, and even if it was, large scale batteries are making them redundant. In addition to providing energy storage for a range of electronic devices we use in our daily lives, lithium-ion batteries power electric vehicles (EVs) as well as both micro and macro energy grids.
These batteries have given renewable power the ability to provide base load energy, and have eliminated the last major argument against a transition away from fossil fuels.

Lithium batteries have solved the intermittency issues revolving around renewable energy and provided EVs with a simple, effective way of storing a vast amount of energy while also reducing the need for consistent base load power from a singular source. Lithium-ion batteries along with sustainable energy are set to power a new era. To mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, a renewable energy transition is key. For that to happen, renewable energy needs a reliable storage medium which batteries provide.

  How long do solar panels actually last? Solar panels offer homeowners a great way to reduce their carbon footprint. Luckily, the lifespan of solar panels will allow you to produce energy for many years, providing a great return on investment. You can count on most photovoltaic solar panels to last 25 years before they begin to noticeably degrade. Most solar panel companies will provide a standard 25-year warranty for the expected life expectancy of the solar panels. After 25 years, your solar panels won’t necessarily need to be replaced; however, their ability to absorb sunlight will be reduced. What is solar panel degradation rate? Over time, solar panels lose their ability to absorb sunlight and convert it into solar energy due to factors such as hotter weather and the natural reduction in chemical potency within the panel. This is what is referred to as the “degradation rate”.  The lower the degradation rate, the better the panel. When a solar panel has a lower degradation rate, i

CHANGING TIDE IN THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR

                                            SOLAR PANELS THAT WORK EVEN AT NIGHT  Before now we were told and knew that solar panels are only efficient and effective during the day when the sun is out and shinning. However the tide is changing as scientist are consistently and tirelessly looking for ways/means to ensure achieving round the clock supply of electricity.  Conventional solar panels only work in daylight, so you need expensive battery storage to enable solar-produced power to be used at night. Now a team at Stanford University in the US has tested solar panels that keep generating electricity round the clock. Who says solar panels don’t work in the dark? In a breakthrough promising 24-hour reliable renewable energy, scientists have tested panels that keep producing power even when the sun goes down. Their innovation takes advantage of the fact that solar panels cool at night. Hence,  Power can be generated from the temperature difference   between the cooling panels and th

CCTV's The Best Third Eye for Your Business Place

Image
  ADVANTAGES OF USING CCTV SYSTEMS FOR YOUR BUSSINESS CCTV can provide a whole host of advantages within the building in which it is installed, along with its contents and any workers or residents.     Benefits of CCTV Cameras in Business  Here, we run through some of the top benefits that this safety system can bring to businesses of all types, and why it is a great thing to have installed at your business premises. 1. Crime deterrent It goes without saying that having a CCTV camera installed at your premises will act as a serious deterrent to criminals and anyone carrying out illegal activities. The sight of a CCTV camera infers an air of danger and the presence of the law, deterring anyone planning to carry out a crime from doing so. 2. Monitors activities CCTV systems are able to keep track of what is happening at the premises where they are installed. By monitoring the activity of workers and visitors at your business’ site, you and your workforce can have total
