Realistically, if we truly want to bend the curve on carbon emissions, we must start diversifying our strategies, relying on more than just renewables.Advanced heat solutions represent excellent complementary technologies to wind and solar power, as these renewables face real challenges.
For example, low density means that in order to harness enough energy to power the UK, we would need to build a solar farm of an impossibly large size.Renewables also have problems to do with dispatch power and consistency, as well as challenges with site locations.Last summer, which was a still and cloudy one, wind and solar simply didn’t generate as much energy as we would have liked, and at this stage, all of the easiest, most suitable sites (the ones which may have access to transmission, and are very suited to wind and solar projects), have already been taken.. Interestingly, while energy systems modelling for wind and solar power often shows a hockey stick curve, as if the upward trajectory of deployment will continue undeterred, in actual fact, this isn’t the case.
Over time, we find that the hockey stick turns into an S shaped curve instead.In other words, renewables are getting progressively harder to do.
In fact, the more we build, the more challenging renewable energy becomes..
In addition, public resistance to building out an ever increasing amount of infrastructure is mounting, and this resistance is happening before the conversation even turns to transmission, which, Gogan says, is very difficult to build, as it’s hard to make the case that people will directly benefit from things such as the creation of jobs.Potential solutions include spacing and arranging lab equipment or storage to better distribute loads or reduce vibrations (e.g.
by placing sensitive equipment near grids and cores), introducing new steelwork, converting ground-floor units or older, sturdier buildings, or localised solutions such as spreader plates, analytical benches, and even active dampening systems..Lab fit-out in a building originally intended for office use.
