Nuclear Power Is About to Become More Expensive

Post - Load Management Group - Jun 11, 2021

Conventional economics dictates that a product’s price rises when it is scarce and in demand. Global production of uranium, a raw material for the nuclear power industry, fell to 123 million pounds- the lowest since 2008 - in 2020, due to the..

Hi Bob, your comment made me laugh. I don't have a personal stake or ideology as far as nuclear power is concerned. I also did not write that nuclear would not "remain competitive" with renewable energy. I wrote this post after coming across a news piece I thought was interesting and doing a bit of research. I may be proved right or wrong in the future. Either way...

By the way, I think the confusion is because I used the wrong words. My bad. Nuclear power has a big role to play globally (see China, India, Finland etc.) but its role, at least as far as the electric grid in the United States is concerned, may not be as prominent as that of wind and solar. Based on Camecho's earnings call, it would seem that nuclear power is being positioned for...

Virtual Battery Introduction

Post - Load Management Group - Jun 9, 2021

Goal: Reduce millions of tons CO2 while storing massive amounts of renewable sourced thermal energy by displaced fossil fuel water and space heating with wind energy plus providing 1,000s of new jobs.

Pricipal Engineer (retired), Blattner energy

Are there any particular regions or projects that are doing this virtual battery implementation in the best way, in your opinion? Who's the shining example on the hill, if there yet is one?

Charles, I admit your torrent of sales techno-babble lost me early on, but - what on Earth is "fossil fuel water"?

The Future of Home Energy Management

Post - Load Management Group - Jun 4, 2021

Entering 2020, energy providers faced familiar challenges and pursued long standing objectives. These include driving consumer adoption of energy efficiency and demand response programs that minimize utility costs and promote grid stability...

President, Parks Associates

At the same time, consumers have spent more time at home over the past year and residential energy consumption is up. This is leading utilities to evaluate new ways to engage consumers in demand response programs and with solutions to help consumers manage their energy resources

Could batteries replace a proposed peaker plant in Massachusetts? | Energy News Network

Shared Link - Load Management Group - Jun 4, 2021

Here's an interesting and real world case study of peaker plants being replaced by battery storage. Many studies and research reports over the years have claimed that battery storage is cheaper than natural gas.

It is a compromizing issue . One has to compare the LCOE for all alternatives. This will be fair enough.

Actually, the problem is that the compromises can't be properly resolved in an LCOE framework. Or, if one is forced to follow an LCOE, the results depend heavily on the costs assigned to occasional system failures.

Thanks for your clarification and highlighting other options.
