Even more, the Frequency Containment Reserve - the first line of defence of the European grid after inertia - is now largely made up of batteries. They limit the grid frequency to +/- 150mHz deviation in the event of a disturbance. Something that worked perfectly on Monday.*** 11/

A power grid in transition also requires adapting regulation. Currently, policy is moving towards imposing grid forming capabilities on decentralised sources, especially for batteries. These contain a lot of buffered energy anyway. 10/

Still, that need not be a dealbreaker. Inverters contain ultrafast energy buffers called capacitors (the double horizontal bars in the diagram). In principle, we can use those to deplete. But because it's not allowed anyway, those buffers are deliberately kept as small (and cheap) as possible. 8/

Additionally, to dance as well as make music, you need some extra energy. Classical power stations get that from the rotating mass of their turbine-generator assembly. With solar panels, this is more difficult - it's hard to make the sun shine a bit harder. 7/

What is going on with deep sea mining?

Last week, Trump signed an EO fast tracking deep sea mining (DSM) within its EEZ and more importantly, in areas beyond jurisdiction. Why is this happening now? THREAD

This is outreagous - more crimes to deliver critical minerals, with a focus on the energy transition...

Doing my best to connect energy researchers with opportunities today. I cannot promise super fast responses but feel free to fill this out: forms.gle/KDoKz3u1Pd41... (usually I send this to PhD students and postdocs, but opening it up more broadly given the circumstances)

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻
