They do it through the electric engine. It's a bit of a jerky motion, like allowing 1-3 km/h over and then braking down to 20 km/h. After a while you do not even notice it.

All the ones in Sweden use the electric motor to govern the speed downhill, limited to 20 km/h.

Dams does not save any water except the initial filling. Their inflow and outflow match over a seasonal cycle.

Because you're not disrupting a river's flow and natural ecosystem, you only utilize the watershed some more during the initial filling period. After that, it's a closed system separate from the river ecosystem where only eva

If what you've created is unsound, then that is a compiler bug. Or you depend on something using unsafe which is unsound. Therefore you should, in both cases, appropriately report it.

That's why Sweden's solution must be centered around off-shore wind and dispatchable hydro together with solar in the summer. Sweden is after all located in one of the windiest places on earth. https://globalwindatlas.i

Sweden has about the best options possible for a renewable powered grid. 40-50% of the electricity comes from hydro currently, simply transition that to be less baseload and more dispatchable, and Sweden now has days of storage. Couple that

I think you misunderstand "base load". What you are talking about is likely peak load, like the problem of everyone putting on their tea kettles during football pauses. [1] In the UK they went with pumped hydro ~50 years ago to so

He is not contradicting himself. You have to remember the awful efficiency of thermal engines. Primary energy demand will decrease because you do not lose 70% of the energy by simply cooling it like in steam turbine used by nuclear power pl

Exactly, that is demand side. For the generation side coal and nuclear got the label "base load" plants, but that is simply a function of them being inflexible and that they used to be cheaper. Nothing intrinsic to functioning of

It is pushing to the grid, but short stints validating different modes of operation. Easier, and more economical, to use the generators than cooling another 30% thermal capacity.
