https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/1384c714ccc80b76 takes you to mail with file attached… ——– Original Message ——- I am wondering if you all might be interested in a proposal I am pushing in Australia that might also be relevant to other places with renewable energy resources in remote areas such as in North Africa, the Middle East, desert areas in Ch... »
Dear Claverton, Below is a table of the complete fleet of eastern Australian wind turbines showing the maximum output capacity, annual load factor and the kW input when the wind isn’t blowing. Some farms apparently have their own auxiliary power and don’t draw from the grid but in any event the drain on the grid is quite small. Regards, Leith Prof Leith A Elder BE PEng Principal Engi... »

One of the most intractable energy problems in Europe is how to deal with the heating load of buildings, (11 EJ/y), which is the largest user of primary energy and is presently met largely with gas. This heat load will not go away due to the expense of insulating the legacy buildings beyond quite modest levels and the new build rate of new low energy buildings is too low to have any significant im... »
From the Claverton Gmail threads: Dear all, David Weight kindly copied me in to this thread. I hope you don’t mind me adding my thoughts. I am only going to comment on the use of biomass for electricity-only, and not the question of DH and or CHP. My position is that UK, EU and US policy makers are wrong to be supporting new big-biomass, enhanced co-firing and full coal conversion (Tilbury a... »
http://www.carboncommentary.com/2009/11/15/853 Spain’s variable wind and stable electricity networks Sunday 15 November 2009 in uncategorized by Chris Goodall One of the frequent criticisms of wind energy is that national distribution systems (‘the grid’) cannot cope with large number of turbines because of the variability and unpredictability of their output. Grids need to match supply and ... »

I think this open letter from Jeremy Leggett of Solar Century to Cameron puts the current situation into clear context: 4 November 2011 The Right Honourable David Cameron MP Dear Prime Minister You will recall that five years ago you chose to host your first Shadow Environment team ‘meet the media’ event at Solarcentury. I was very proud to welcome you to the “frontline” of Britain... »
