Germany by half would reduce the energy production of wind
Bashny.Net
Solar and wind power of Germany and China could produce more energy if their infrastructure was capable of accepting such energy flow.
As The Guardian reports, the Federal German Agency for the management of the power grid prevents the increase of wind power stations in the North because the grid cannot handle the growing load. The wind turbines that appear there more often, should, in theory, to have engineering centres in the South of Germany. But recently the government has begun to pay producers of wind energy to their stations worked at full capacity. Were leaked documents state that as a result, Germany will reduce the energy production of the wind in half.
A similar story happened in China. According to the report, the air force, the country is now so much coal-fired power plant that cannot be quickly "turn on" and "off" that we have to reduce the production of wind energy by about 15% since the grid is not able to cope with such amount of energy. In China, such occurs not for the first time: when did the rapid growth of solar plants, in some provinces up to 50% of energy goes to waste.
In other countries this problem may also occur. India and Australia, for example, the risk of decline in the same position if you don't have time to expand their infrastructure.
In the USA the most significant example of Texas. In the Western, most isolated part of the state built windmills, issuing about 20 000 MW — more than in any other state in the country. But the lack of infrastructure that would allow to redirect electricity to the South and East, where the major cities Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston, can not completely use the capacity of wind plants. Upgrade of the electrical network of Texas will require $7 billion — investments of this size can not afford any of this, nor to other States.
The rapid growth of renewable energy — a thing commendable, concludes MIT Technology Review, but only if this energy can be used.
Nevertheless, the overall trends indicate increased production of wind energy. In Europe, according to experts of the company MAKE Consulting, over the next 10 years, the amount of produced wind energy will increase to 140 GW, and 60% of new stations will appear in the Nordic countries. published
