introduction
Germany, the United Kingdom and France, make up almost half of all European weather -dependent “renewable energies”.
The illustrations here show the hourly electricity generation of all generation technologies. The data is as complete as possible for Great Britain.
The United Power of the United Kingdom illustrated in 2024
The Data from Gridwatch UK had a major deficiency from 06.01.2024 to 07.10.2024, accordingly a data arms were replaced later in July this year. This substitution does not have a significant effect that influence the cumulative results shown here.
Great Britain weather -dependent “renewable energies”
Productivity is important
The illustrations shown above show British electricity generation in 2024:
- The impression of additional ~ 48 gigawatts of weather -dependent “renewable energies” has reduced the overall productivity of the British current fleet from normally ~ 90%to ~ 39.5%.
- In 2024 ~ 48 GW installed weather -dependent “renewable energies”, the equivalent of ~ 9 GW contributed to the British network.
- In 2024, the British weather -dependent “renewable energies” achieved a combined productivity of ~ 18.4%, a relatively low value.
- In 2024, the offshore wind power, which is normally quite productive, reached only the low productivity level of 23.5%.
- The unreliability and intermittenz of onshore and offshore wind power is clear from the third graphic above:
- The wind performance can vary within a few hours from almost full power to practically zero -output editions.
- Solar energy is inevitable, very variable summer to winter and depends on the cloudiness. Great Britain is one of the most wild nations.
- Solar energy continues to continue its low overall productivity of only ~ 10%.
- In times with low demand in summer and very little in winter, the time with high demand, solar energy contributed most power supply.
- The daily time of the contribution from solar energy does not correspond to the high electricity requirements in the winter evening.
- Although the investment costs for solar energy are almost comparable to gas fire for the capital costs of gas, solar energy actually costs ~ 10 times as much gas fire for installation and maintaining if the low productivity is taken into account.
- Great Britain depends heavily on imported power, largely nuclear from France, the Netherlands and Norway, which corresponds to ~ 15% of electricity generation in the course of the year, with British power exporting only on rare occasions.
- British energy security is endangered by having to rely on imported power:
- Norway is already considering restricting his exports to Great Britain and keeping its performance for his own household.
- France threatened its offer in Great Britain in a dispute over the canal islands.
- The imported performance was almost the output of the entire British indigenous, consistent nuclear power.
- The final closure of the last British coal -fired power plant occurred in 2024 and contributed less than 1% to electricity requirements before closing.
- The installation of ~ 48 GW, weather -dependent “renewable energies” ~ 65% of the current british fleet of the British generation also produced a similar cumulative performance of ~ 30%, which could not be dispatched by gas fire, but this “renewable” performance could not be dispatched if necessary: ”Renewable Energies ”with a combined productivity of only ~ 18.5% in 2024.
- The imported biomass with CO2 emissions about 4 times of gas fire contributed ~ 7% of the British demand.
- The use of imported biomass negated all and all CO2 emission savings that were achieved by other weather-dependent “renewable energies”.
- With an installation of ~ 10 GW+ natural gas, about 30% of all British power supply of ~ 87% was generated: This benefit was flexible and available to meet demand.
- Gas fire, but non -indigenous British gas resources, was largely able to compensate for the intermittenz and unreliability of the weather -dependent “renewable energies” already installed in Great Britain.
