IEA Wind’s Post

Weekly power simulation, week 24 of 2024 For six weeks in a row, Denmark has been powered by 100% wind and solar energy, recalling the four hour shortfall on May 8th, where thermal generation or imports had to step in. Honestly, I think this six-week streak may continue for a while, noting the strong nexus of storage and solar in the summer time 😎 ----- Each week, I run a simulation using real-world generation data from the Danish power grid, with #windenergy and #solarenergy scaled to match future (2033) capacities, as forecasted by the Danish Energy Agency. See earlier posts by searching for #WeeklyPowerSimulation. The original idea for such a simplified, but very illustrative, simulation is David Osmond's from Australian Windlab.

💡 I found Heatmap News to be an excellent addition to my daily #energynews feed 🗒 . The articles are concise and relevant. Special shoutout to the Emily Pontecorvo for today's article on top 10 make-or-break projects for the energy transition "These 10 projects represent the spectrum of solutions that could enable a transition to a carbon-free energy system. The list includes vastly scaled up versions of mature technologies like wind and solar power alongside the traditional energy infrastructure necessary to move that power around. Many of the most experimental or first-of-a-kind projects on this list are competing to play the role of “clean firm” power on the grid of the future." https://lnkd.in/dTqvXxXS

Considering solar at your wind site? Considering wind at your solar site? Have a read.... we might be able to help get the measurement strategy right from Day 1 for you.

🌬️☀️🔊 Power the future with integrated wind, solar and acoustic measurements. Innovative hybrid development projects are now emerging to maximise efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness. They typically combine the complementary profiles of wind and solar energy with solar peaking during the day and wind often strengthening at night. By integrating these sources, hybrid power systems can: ➡ Achieve a more consistent energy output ➡ Improve grid stability ➡ Enhance the overall capacity factor of renewable installations ➡ Offer significant cost savings At ZX Measurement Services we support the necessary measurements to assess hybrid projects by using a single site visit and a single team resource. This results in: ➡ A streamlined project timeline ➡ Reduced logistical complexity ➡ Improved data quality These all contribute to the successful planning and development of hybrid power systems.

  At NRG Systems, we are pushing the boundaries of innovation in resource measurement by teaming up with ZX Lidars to facilitate hybrid wind and solar assessment campaigns. By combining our turnkey Flare SRA Systems for solar resource assessment with ZX’s advanced Lidar technology for wind measurement, we deliver streamlined measurement solutions tailored to the evolving needs of renewable energy developers. The result is more efficient measurement campaigns that reduce complexity and accelerate the development of innovative hybrid energy projects. #wind #solar #lidar #data #hybridenergy #renewableenergy #cleanenergy

📢 [NEW ARTICLE] 📢 👉 Discover without further delay our latest article “How load banks contribute to electrical grid stability”. 👀 📰 "The energy transition towards renewable sources such as solar and wind, while essential for a sustainable future, poses significant challenges to the stability of electrical grids. The intermittent nature of these energy sources can cause substantial frequency variations, thus threatening the continuity and quality of electricity supply. In this context, load banks play a crucial role by simulating substantial electrical consumption and helping to stabilize the grid. What causes frequency variations? What is aFRR? How do load banks contribute to electrical grid stability?". 📰 --------- [...] To read more, follow the link in the comments!⬇️ #renewableenergy #loadbank #loadtesting #bancdecharge #energy #energiesrenouvelables

Weekly power simulation, week 11 of 2024 No such thing as perfect in the energy system - it's all trade offs and balances... HOWEVER, last week was pretty darn near perfect in our simulation. Wind and solar directly made up 97.2% of Danish power demand, but when adding storage and demand-side flexibility, Denmark was powered by 100% solar and wind last week! 97.2% renewable share year-to-date. ----- Each week, I run a simulation using real-world generation data from the Danish power grid, with #windenergy and #solarenergy scaled to match future (2033) capacities, as forecasted by the Danish Energy Agency.
