    Irlands Stromquellen [OC]

    Ich hörte Moneypoint schloss unten und fragte sich, wie viel Kohle früher eingesetzt wurde.
    Ich habe mich auch gefragt, wie viel Rasen brannte. Diese Daten haben andere fossile Brennstoffe, die für uns Öl und Torf zu bedeuten scheint.
    Wind war einige Monate seit 2016 die größte Quelle, die ich nicht kannte.
    Solar ist in diesem Sommer zu einer bemerkenswerten Sache geworden, wächst aber eindeutig. Ich habe das zweite Diagramm erstellt, damit sie wie im vollen Torf, Solar, Kohle und Hydro -Mischung ineinander gesehen werden können.

      Great charts. Probably not enough made of how strong the uptick in wind energy has been here.

      Why is there such a regular annual variation in wind ? Is wind strength really that seasonal ?

      Great to see how much wind energy is generated – totally renewable. Hopefully innovations in storage dampen the effect of the variability.

      Cool graphs! 

      Seems like solar & wind combined could create some stability across the seasons

      Good charts.

      Sad reality is that Irish people pay the highest energy prices in the world.

      Solar is a proper area for growth. Speaking as someone who put about 6kw of panels on my roof, it’s virtually a no brainer for everyone to do the same. Pays for itself in 6 or 7 years. Took out a 5 year loan to pay for it, so my bills have dropped by a little bit less than the monthly repayment, but once the loan goes away in 2.5 years, the panels have a forecast efficiency of 80% after 30 years…

      If you’re considering it, just go for I think. Obviously there’s other factors that can make the efficiency higher – e.g. my solar panels cover my electricity usage first, then excess heats my hot water tank up to temp next (I’ve a gas boiler and had an emersion switch for a second heating coil which the solar replaced). So they save me a bunch on my gas bill. Excess after that goes to the grid and I get a credit on my bill twice a year for 150 or so. I can install a battery soon (prob if/when I switch to an electric car) – I get super granular data about the panels and can calculate the exact size of battery to maximize the efficiency of the system.
