RE: Live generation data from the Great Britain electricity grid6 Feb 2022 17:21
I guess the problem with all these sites is there is no exact way to measure "waste" energy. For example, when demand is low (02.00 hrs) then wind generators are told to turn off or down the supply.
So, can we only guess - very windy so wind should be able to provide 20-25 Gw and then if we see demand overnight is only 15 Gw we can "assume" that there would have been 5 - 10 Gw of electricity available to generate free green hydrogen? And, as more wind farms come on stream that figure will increase.
Yes, I know, I'm being very simplistic but it's Sunday, the rugby's finished so not much else to do.
