if I’m responding to you you’re probably a dummy

@stephen_ga1141 @EssexPR It’s physics, physics doesn’t have a side

@7Kiwi @DrSimEvans Where are you buying your fictional gas turbines and how are you making them cost effective?

[Think about it dummy @DummyThink]

@GrumpyTwit99 @ClaireCoutinho @rcolvile Man who knows nothing about the grid proceeds to tell us how dumb he is 👏

Minor problem of hydrogen leaking out of existing pipes and most devices not being suitable but nice try

@just_so_over_it @BearGrylls Numbers not your strong point?

@ArmstrongT97969 @DanNeidle SCoP should be 3.5-4.5 for a correctly designed, installed and commissioned HP

Overnight electric cost is not the same as day, if you correctly schedule the timing / heat water overnight then 30-40% of yearly power requirement can be at low rates often the same price as gas

@ArmstrongT97969 @DanNeidle Absolute garbage, that’s 10 yr out of date thinking

@PenseeMagique @DominyRichard @MikeSeamarks @ClaireCoutinho I’d prefer to listen to the grid operator rather than some random PR woman for gas companies

@Rabelt5645 @7Kiwi Batteries are already being built on merchant profiles, time shifting of renewables and provision of grid services being enough to provide good payback

Good job people that have a better grasp of basic finances than you get to make the decisions

[Think about it dummy @DummyThink]

@Rabelt5645 @7Kiwi No use the right thing at the right time, make everything more efficient and cost effective by doing that

[Think about it dummy @DummyThink]

@ClaireCoutinho A breach of operating reserve / constraint standards is not the same as a stat limit excursion. No demand was disconnected, frequency stayed within stat 49.5–50.5 Hz, and no circuits were overloaded

The system remained within Stat limits

@DominyRichard @MikeSeamarks @ClaireCoutinho Due to gas outages and failure of support services to do their contracted service, read the report

[Think about it dummy @DummyThink]

@Rabelt5645 @7Kiwi You know batteries can be charged overnight from under-utilised generators right?

@mattyg2040032 @HaveringDaily Grass fire around a shed full of fertiliser, there’s a reason IRA used to use fertiliser as base for their bombs, the Beruit explosion was 2750tonnes of ammonium nitrate (fertiliser) this was a lot smaller

@RichardLyon_ ‘Quietly closed’ as though it didn’t just end

Doubling down on the garbage I see, the LoDES innovation trial is a different scheme to the LDES Cap and Floor scheme

And yes some of the LoDES (wk/mon) types did make the LDES (8-22hr) anyway, CAES and Flow battery

[Think about it dummy @DummyThink]

@RichardLyon_ Absolute garbage, the LoDES scheme was planned to end, it was a 2-3yr scheme with a 2yr monitoring period after completion

LoDES was looking at FOAK designs and is completed

The LDES scheme is the next phase with awards due in Q3

@KathrynPorter26 What are your qualifications?

[Think about it dummy @DummyThink]

@7Kiwi And yet they are trivially small and expensive fields

[Think about it dummy @DummyThink]

@aDissentient So now you are a power grid modeller!

Impressive, do you do brain surgery at weekends too?

@latimeralder Of course around 50,000km2 of Florida is below 90cm, and that’s just part of USA / RoW

Are there enough bricks / bricklayers?
