In regions that are “100% powered by renewable energy”, what happens to the traditional power plants?
In: Engineering
Many are converted to run natural gas as backup for the renewable generators. Most 100% renewable energy regions are 100% for like 48 hours at most, but that will change as more renewable sources are added to the grid. I’m particularly excited about Eavor-loop geothermal energy generation, which could be outfitted to an existing steam driven turbine plant.
