A True Breakthrough- ISO-NE To Make Solar Go from Intermittent to "Dispatchable"

ISO-NE has a new, creative way to make intermittent solar become dispatchable. No, ISO-NE doesn't plan to make the sun shine at will. READ:

"The proposal to incorporate solar generator assets into the do-not-exceed dispatch framework addresses the need for an automated, economical solution for dispatching resources without control of their net power output, also known as intermittent power resources. Accordingly, most modeled solar generator assets will become dispatchable and need to exchange certain data with ISO New England using a directly connected remote terminal unit by the proposal’s requested effective date of December 5, 2023."

ISO-NE is a joke as a serious grid manager. I wouldn't let them run a third-grade math class.

Solar will be dispatchable on a second-by-second basis, whereas traditional sources are dispatchable on an hour-to-hour basis, or longer

US/UK 66,000 MW OF OFFSHORE WIND BY 2030; AN EXPENSIVE FANTASY

The wind/solar/battery bubble is in meltdown mode. This is not a surprise, because the EIA makes LCOE “evaluations” of wind and solar, which purposely exclude major LCOE items, regarding:

 

- Onshore grid expansion/reinforcement and very expensive battery system storage

- A fleet of quick-reacting power plants for counteracting/balancing the variable output of wind/solar

- Additional power plants for making up the electricity shortfall during low wind/solar conditions

- Output curtailments during high wind/solar conditions, i.e., paying owners not to produce what they could have produced

 

Such EIA deceptions reinforced the national delusion wind and solar are competitive with fossil fuels, which is far from reality.

Wind and solar would not exist without at least 50% subsidies, plus their output could not be fed into the grid, without the above four freebies. The costs are paid by taxpayers, ratepayers, and added to government debts.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
