Here is an interesting article by co-founder and CTO of Storelectric Mark Howitt about the need for gigawatt scale storage to enable gigawatt scale renewables.  This was published in the Journal of Energy and Power Engineering.  Read the abstract below, and to download the full article please use this link: Gigawatt Scale Storage for Gigawatt Scale Renewables Abstract Multi-GW renewables need multi-GW storage, or fossil fuelled power stations will be needed to balance for intermittency. For the same reason, such balancing must be able to last for an entire evening peak if renewables are not generating at the same time. Batteries and DSR [...]

A 'gas peaker' is a flexible form of electricity generation plant. Gas peakers can potentially be used to balance out the intermittency of renewable power sources more economically and cleanly than traditional gas plants. 350 PPM is completing due diligence on this sector, with a view to potentially creating a share offering for a company called Power On Demand Services (PODS). To this end, 350 PPM visited a gas peaker site in Birmingham and spoke to some of the experts who are part of the PODS team. Watch the video below and for more [...]

Today we release the latest in our line of short introductions to 350 PPM relevant sectors of the economy, this time focusing on gas engine peakers, a flexible type of electricity generation plant. The report can be downloaded at the following link: PLEASE CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE FULL REPORT: Sector Research: Gas Engine Peakers Introduction This report provides a brief introduction to gas engine peakers, a flexible type of electricity generation plant, including the critical role they could play in the fight against climate change. This might, at first sight, seem like a somewhat dubious thing to suggest. How can burning gas possibly [...]
