The energy transition is a complex series of complex questions. Technologies can be sometimes baffling. Having people who can understand and explain to the public such topics is key if people are to understand and accept change.
That is why – like over 656,000 subscribers – I particularly appreciate the work of Dave Borlace and his Youtube channel, Just have a think (already featured last year in Energy efficiency’s time has finally arrived)
Solar PV and wind are great, cheap, clean energy sources and they just don’t provide grid stability and inertia like hydro, nuclear or fossil fuels. That’s why grid forming inverters are needed.
Grid forming inverters will become a key element of switching off fossil fuels plants and relying more and more on wind and solar. Current grid following inverters are great but just don’t provide the vital grid inertia stability we all depend upon.
Wthout further ado I will let you watch the video below :
What do you think ? I look forward to reading your thoughts…
