Green Power Island. Thinking big
Green Power Island says they can provide power for all of Copenhagen using wind, solar, and pumped hydro as well as creating biofuel. Their stored hydro idea is ingenious. Water is pumped out of the lagoon usinmg excess wind and…
Pumped heat electricity storage for renewable energy
For renewable energy to be viable at grid scale, it must be able to store energy for later use. Isentropic Energy says they can do it with pumped heat. Use the heat differential between two tanks of compressed gas and…
We need stored energy at grid scale
The big problem with renewable energy is variability in the generation of power. This is also the big advantage of coal, natural gas, and nuclear. The power is generated consistently, day or night. What the grid needs, and does not…
