- cyberax 2y agoI actually worked on such a model professionally (as in "being paid for it") in 2006, for Germany. Here's a good overview article: https://energytransition.org/2017/07/germanys-worse-case-scenario-in-the-power-sector/ https://energytransition.org/2017/07/germanys-worse-case-sce... > Germany will always need dispatchability roughly at the level of its annual peak demand The solution they're proposing is power-to-gas. Which so far has been way too expensive to matter.
- pydry 2y agoP2G isn't actually horrendously expensive compared to nuclear power, it's just horrendously expensive to regular old natural gas. Power to gas for the "worst case scenarios" would also be the last thing you'd do to transition a grid from 97% carbon free to 100% carbon free.
