Question
Include in the memo: 1 A brief background discussing challenges encountered in using solar power on the grid. Include supply and demand, supply at distance, congestion usage, ramp (the duck curve; the Nessie curve), and why the innovation you are discussing is advantageous. 2. In main discussion, discuss storage options. Focus on lithium-ion batteries in terms of why lithium? How do they work? In this section use a visual with APA. What are the flaws? In this section include discussion of exploding lithium. Include a thesis about how lithium batteries can be helpful, what challenges need to be considered, and how those flaws can be overcome, 3. A conclusion that addresses the need for this change.Explanation / Answer
Whenever the sun shines,the solar system generates electricity. the grid connect inverter converts the DC electricity produced by solar panels into 240V A.C electricity which can then be used by property. If a grid connect system is producing more power than is being consumed, the surplus is fed into the mains power grid.
A grid connection will allow you to save more money through solar panels with better efficiency rstes,net metering,lower equipment and installation cost.
Duck Curve- in commercial scale electricity generation, the duck curve is graph of power production over the course of the day that shows timing imbalance between peak demand and renewable energy production. In many energy markets the peak demand occurs after sunset when solar power is no longer available.
Ans_2=> lithium ion batteries are lighter and more compact. They also have higher DoD and longer life span when compared to lead acid batteries.
Advantages- smaller and lighter, high energy density, low self discharge, zero to low memory effect, quick charging, high open circuit voltsge, longer life span.
Flaws- Expensive, sensitivity to high temperature, Aging effect, deep discharge, safety concerns. Lithium ion batteries may explode when overheated or overcharged.
Massive expansion of solar generation worldwide by mid-century is likely a necessary component of any serious strategy to mitigate climate change. Take long term approach to technology development.
