Options for Sustainable Solar and Wind Power Generation
Although maligned for decades and sabotaged by Oil Companies, (such as Atlantic Richfield Company, Arco), Solar Power, and also Wind Power, have made advances since the turn of the century, and are now optimally positioned to generate a large percentage, (even major percentage), of the Electricity requirements of the World.
The Benefits of Sustainable Power Generation are the ability to generate power without Blackouts caused by Storms, Hurricanes, Blizzards, Power Plant accidents, Power Line, and Transformer Station accidents. Solar/Wind Power is also immune from Blackouts caused by Warfare, and therefore more secure than centralized, non-sustainable power generation. An already familiar benefit of Solar/Wind Power is Power Generation without use of non-sustainable and polluting resources, (i.e. Oil, Coal, and Uranium).
I put together this blog on Solar/Wind Power for the following reasons - 1) to practice creating a Presentation with the Web 2.0 program, SlideRocket, and 2) in order to delineate my concepts of efficient Solar/Wind Power generation and Electricity Storage, utilizing Cogeneration.
Therefore, I advocate entities, interested in the end of non-sustainability, persue the following Cogeneration options for Solar/Wind Power -
1) Cogeneration without Battery Storage. Instead of Battery Storage, the Solar/Wind power generation and electricity use by individual cogenerators is digitally monitored. Extra generated electricity can be sent, via a cogeneration grid, to cogenerators that are temporarily undergenerating electricity, because of lack of sunlight or wind.
2) Cogeneration with Community Battery Storage. Individual cogenerators would generate Solar or Wind Power without individual Battery Storage, the same as option 1. However, local community scale Battery Storage Facilities would allow cogenerators to have locally available stored electricity, in case of temporary undergeneration of electricity. The local Battery Storage could send electricity anywhere in the cogeneration grid, also.
3) Cogeneration with Power Plant Scale Battery Storage. This option would involve Local Solar/Wind Power Generation with the availability of Large Scale Battery Storage Facilities that have replaced Power Plants, and are instead used for Electricity Storage. The objective of this option is the storing of large amounts of extra electricity, with the option of sending, via the cogeneration grid, extra electricity to Cogeneration customers temporarily undergenerating electricity.
