Digital infrastructure is being deployed across various layers of the power grid, from transmission to distribution, enabling better management and optimization of electrical systems.

Огромные инвестиции, вложенные за последние десятилетия в развитие альтернативных источников энергии, не привели к вытеснению ископаемого топлива с энергорынка, а сама стратегия «зеленого» перехода в ее сегодняшнем виде не может обеспечить достаточность, доступность и надежность источников энергии.

The apparent enthusiasm of the UN and the governments of the developed nations for Net Zero by 2050 is not shared by the developing and not-yet-developing nations, which place higher priority on economic development, with little regard for the resulting greenhouse gas emissions.

There is a growing political focus on the need to develop renewables, with countries agreeing at the COP28 climate summit in December to work towards tripling capacity to 11,000GW by 2030. 

The transition would also require the electricity sector to invest between $8 – 80 trillion per year over the period in electricity storage facilities, depending on the ultimate cost of electricity storage infrastructure.

The transition to all-electric everything would require an increase in electric generation to approximately 13,000 TWH from a storage supported predominantly intermittent generation fleet of approximately 6,000 GW with a capacity factor of approximately 30%, depending on the mix of wind and solar in the generation fleet.

For 20 years, US electrical power policy has been dominated by efforts to try to “mitigate” global warming, believed to be caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.

Iron-air batteries use rusting as their central technology. In an iron-air battery, iron, water and air are the components. The iron rusts to discharge power and the rusting is reversed to charge the battery.

The plan sets out how the UK is going to meet its strategy for cutting greenhouse gas emissions to net zero in order to achieve its own legally binding commitments to curb global warming.

Nuclear energy is a controversial issue in Italy where nuclear-fired power plants were banned after Italians voted in a 2011 referendum against a law for a national nuclear programme.
