In the United States, the Sun, Wind and Battery Projects offered with them – thousands of Gigawatt covers potential power –withdrawn for allowed to connect to the power network. And in areas where renewable energy projects are already online, Their output is often reduced. This clean energy battleneck, as the renewable energy rise requirement does not establish new transmission lines fast enough B. from the point B from a point in a large amount of pure.
Now there is a company to solve this problem with a simple but radical solution: to put the renewable energy into giant batteries and transport these batteries by train.
Sunittin The Green Energy Development, which is now president and serving as a chief technology employee, is a San Francisco-based company based on Christofher Smith. In thought, it is to bring energy to bring energy to bring energy to the most needed areas, which covers about 140,000 miles of the United States, which is available.
Suntrain is currently working on a project pilot that will work between Pueblo, Colorado and Denver. If approved by regulators, Smith says that the pilot expects to be outside the ground for only two years.
Problems available for the transportation of updated energies
Clean energy is the fastest source of electricity in the United States in the United States A report from America’s clean powerLast year, 93% of the new energy power was the sun, wind and battery depot. Smith, Smith, the transmission line infrastructure is behind the rate of clean energy growth rate.
“As in the United States, the United States needs new transmission lines of 300,000 miles. It is the amount we need immediately to keep up with the current request,” Smith says Smith. “It is estimated that 100% electrification requirements, as well as electrification demand, until 2050, as well as a million miles a year. We are currently building 1000 miles per year.”
It is difficult to build new transmission lines, environmental rules, including environmental rules, and thousands of miles of thousands of miles of time and any new line.
For example, in Colorado, Smith, Pueblo says there are many renewable energy in the south-eastern corner of the country. However, because of the lack of a sufficient transmission line capacity between Pueblo and Denver, most of this power cannot be used as a result.
“After reaching the equivalent energy Pueblo, it does not have a drawback line to get it to the center of Denver,” Smith says Smith. “So the energy is mainly reduced – a fancy word for wasted.”
So far, the expensive construction of new transmission lines has been the main solution. However, Smith said that this discussion was deprived of a source used to transport energy for almost 200 years: railways.
“The cargo railway network bears every form of any known energy that is already used to a person known: natural gas, coal, oil, ethanol, biomass, nuclear waste, various fossil fossil fossils and list continue,” he says. “Thus, this large amount of our large railway network and our electrical systems coincide. There is no reason that we cannot move battery trains on the cargo railway network as we move.”
Suntrain’s solution
For the pilot project, Suntrain is the largest electric software in Colorado with Xcel Energy. Xcel, Pueblo (Komanche Creator) and Denver (at Cherokee-generating station) also has a natural gas plant to be operated in the next few years. With a collaboration with Suntrain, these plants can be reworked with the battery stored energy.
Smith, Suntrain, Comanche said it will use the existing substation inside the generating station – now says Pueblo will use an existing substation with a large railway infrastructure such as a coal plant to fill the batteries from Battlelenecked Grid. During the day Smith says the energy can most likely be restored 100%. Then the batteries would be transported to energy and energy at the Denovee-generating station at Denovee. (Charging and discharge is carried out between four and six hours and lasts five hours from Pueblo to walk 139 miles from Denver.)
“A substation can turn energy into a format that can cover long distances without losing much energy,” Smith says Smith. “A s / s can also turn electricity into a format that can be used by local houses and enterprises. For Sunthrain’s purposes, the PueBlo s / s allows to formulate electricity to collectively collectively collectively convened in the region.”
Suntrain’s proposed railcars, each of the 20-meter shipping containers each About 40 tons of battery will hold. The company “Allows energy to flow to the bottom of the batteries, which allows energy to flow to the bottom of the batteries, which allows energy to flow to the bottom of the batteries, which is created in the same way, the whole process is designed to prevent the batteries.
In Meeting with Podcast In nocoSmith is designed to ensure that Suntrain’s first generation railway railway trucks are available for existing standards, the system does not need to be changed for the market market to come to the market. Based on these parameters, each train will be built between 8,000 and 9,000 feet with the ability to carry two Gigawatt clocks around only two Gigawatt hours. It is enough to strengthen a city of 100,000 for a full day.
Smith tested a concept train on several visitors 10,000 miles away from Suntrain’s San Francisco to unloading San Francisco in San-Francisco in the Team. Now the company is waiting to confirm the spending about $ 125 million to begin to be established on the Kongo Communication Commission on the Xcel pilot project.
“We tested technology, the expediency, the mechanical standards were convinced there,” Smith says. “Our manufacturer’s partners can convey all the uniform trains of all uniforms of 200 railway cars to the batteries that are very far from the pipeline. This is an immediate executable idea. This is just needed to capital.”
