But in an effort to try to make the entire game more interesting, let's change the win condition to a scoring track (a la Carcassonne) that follows your entire gameplay and tracks a variety of figures.

[Wind Energy Planning] Super Grid Key Discussion Point at European Wind Energy Conference ...: The study points out that “with ever- increasing amounts of wind energy in the system, new challenges arise for the functioning of the interconnected grid, especially for balancing, securing, cross-border transmission and market design“. The study says that when envisaging penetration levels of 20% of gross electric demand or more from wind energy, new directions are needed for design and operation of the grid network and electricity markets…”hence it is critical that the decision-making processes- for example on grid reinforcements, technical standards, market rules and so on- are well thought through, resulting in consistent policy decisions“.

It also includes a system for fishermen to call in the location of drifting object that present a navigation threat, combined with a predictive model that projects where those objects will be over a 24-hour period based on weather and tidal conditions.

[Moon of Alabama] M of A - Smart Grid Scare: Smart Grid is closely related to the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), and both programs are designed to spy on Americans. Even more disturbing than the purpose of these government-condoned intrusions into our lives is the fact that the Obama Administration feels that Smart Grid is so important that it had to be funded in the stimulus package””which is supposed to be used for emergencies only.

He contacted 190 stakeholders and ultimately persuaded 40 of them to come together in a joint modeling session.

[Green Inc.] An Ambitious Vision for Upscaling Wind Transmission - Green Inc ...: This would encourage the green energy industry by allowing small players, such as individual homes and small businesses, to sell power to their neighbors or back to the grid. It would provide another source of income for larger commercial businesses that have renewable or backup power systems that can provide clean energy for a price during peak demand, such as midday in July when the air conditioning is cranked.

[sustain] sustain » Blog Archive » Electric Vehicles and the Grid: Seizing ...: If you have a cloud that moves over a 1MW solar farm and you lose around 1MW off the grid, that’s a big problem. If you could, for example, take your cars or water heaters to schedule load and charge only when wind and solar are pushing out more electricity, that would be most efficient.

Plus the more people who adopt the tech in their homes (and the more automatic devices are installed) the better things will be for all and the unit price of electricity should fall or at least be stable, even taking into account costs of buildout (through smoothing of peak demand and storage or distributed sources like electric car batteries).

[Knowledge Problem] Smart grid rhetoric at yesterday’s clean energy summit « Knowledge ...: I would amend her rhetoric to say that if we are going to build new long-distance transmission it should have the two-way communication overlay that is the hallmark of a smart grid, but that the most important area to focus digital intelligence in the long-distance transmission network is in the interconnection function that Secretary Chu discussed. I can envision, indeed I have argued for, a future in which long-distance transmission includes remote devices for the dynamic injection of reactive power to balance power flows autonomously (and ideally in response to price signals in a market for reactive power) when needed, and not in the static “dumb”

[Boycott Novell] Boycott Novell » Links 18/03/2009: SunBM and Cisco+GNU/Linux: Platform Computing, the global leader in High Performance Computing (HPC) management software, announces the release of the Platform HPC for ICE-Linux, a solution developed with HP, which combines the power of Platform Computing with the multi-systems management of HP Insight Control suite for Linux (ICE-Linux). The solution will allow customers to easily deploy HPC cluster environments using an out-of-the-box software solution that supports superior performance, growth and scalability while reducing cost and complexity.

[Innovation » cgaylord] America’s future wind web? | csmonitor.com: President Obama has said he wants to see renewable wind from the plains help power cities like Chicago. The US Department of Energy last year reported that the nation could harvest 20 percent of its electricity from wind by 2020, much of it by tapping wind energy in places like South Dakota, which boasts the fourth best wind resource in the nation.
