Super Grids Connect Renewable Energy
If a bulk of Electrical power generated power can be transmitted from point A to point B with minimal loose, the transmission system is said to be efficient and that’s what the power board pay their scientist to get for them.
A more efficient means of energy transmission with minimal loss will be the use of DC (Direct Current) over the use of AC which is presently invoke in many countries.
Why Still Use AC
Direct Current moves without amplitude which makes it practically very difficult to detect and control in the event of a fault such as earthing or power surge while the Alternating Current with the Amplitude can easily controlled by easily available circuit breakers.
The Innovation
The Invention of the Super grids by a Swiss Conglomerate ABB has solved the main issue as mentioned above, the super grids allows the connection of renewable energy sources like, water, wind and solar energy sources into the main high power grids using an efficient DC circuit breakers made for this purpose.
With a practical High DC circuit breaker that can disconnect any faulty section of the transmission system and allow the other sections carry on.
The Benefits
From this innovation it will be easy to connect different sources of renewable energy such as wind mills, solar farms, hydro plants and other sources through very long distances without much energy loss.
With this arrangement, efficient transmission of energy can be carried out; the wind power apparently in super abundant can be tapped off from the Sahara desert to power most of the cities of Germany, Solar panel farms can be erected and adequate energy tapped to from there to power most of the states in the tropics.
The general result will be more diversification into renewable energy sources which will mean a cleaner and safer climate.
The far reaching aspect of this innovation is the abundance of cheap renewable energy that will be used to power industries and homes resulting indirectly to drop in cost of manufactured products, increase of GDP and the well-being of Citizens.
