溫帶氣旋Ciara過境德國促成德國全境風力發電量創下新高紀錄，風電發電量佔比達60%，整體再生能源總發電量佔比高達全國用電量的75%驚人紀錄！ (Clean Energy Wire 02/11/2020)

Storm 'Ciara' blows German wind power production to new record

是的看清楚，即使是暴風雨來襲的期間，風力發電還是可以持續發電的，而且往往趁勢創下發電量新高紀錄！再生能源科技持續的在向前推進，發電效能越來越好，抗候性越來越佳，發電成本越來越低廉，整體環保、減碳效益持續提升，而且整體電力調度的配套解決方案也越來越精進且智慧化！這就是目前整個世界能源領域正在每天發生的事實！

via Tony Yen : "因為溫帶氣旋Ciara光臨中歐，全歐洲的風力發電過去幾天大增，其中德國甚至創下風能瞬間發電量43.7GW的歷史新高紀錄。

在2月9日和2月10日，整體再生能源發電一度佔了德國全國用電量的75%佔比，單單風能就佔了60%比率。此外，這兩天風能也佔了全歐洲發電量的27%。

News 11 Feb 2020, 13:36 Benjamin Wehrmann Storm 'Ciara' blows German wind power production to new record

by Renewables Wind dpa / Deutschlandfunk / Clean Energy Wire

The storm dubbed "Ciara" has pushed wind power production to a new record in Germany, temporarily boosting feed-in into the grid to nearly 43.7 gigawatts (GW), grid operator TenneT told news agency dpa in an article carried by public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk. The previous record stood at 43.4 GW. According to energy think tank Agora Energiewende*, renewables covered about three quarters of Germany's power consumption on 9 and 10 February, with onshore and offshore wind turbines contributing the lion's share. However, the storm also caused troubles for grid operators, since the record feed-in happened intermittently and even caused some turbines to be shut down for safety reasons, the article says.

According to the website energy-charts by research institute Fraunhofer ISE, wind power alone covered nearly 60 percent of net power production on 10 February, dwarfing coal-fired power production, which stood at about 11 percent on that day.

Wind, solar and other renewable sources supplied almost 43 percent of gross German power consumption in 2019, up from 38.2 percent in 2018. This marked a new annual record that already exceeds the government’s 2020 target of 35 percent, but the unprecedented output level is overshadowed by a near halt in onshore wind development. The number of new wind turbines recently fell to unprecedentedly low levels and the country is veering off track in reaching its 2030 target of a 65 percent renewables share."

PS. 編按：所謂溫帶氣旋，其威力類似我們亞洲地區所稱的颱風，或是北美地區所謂的颶風。

#新加坡辣妹更嗆辣
新加坡總理夫人，何晶於上周發表新加坡應該發展核電的言論，她非常了解新加坡在減緩溫室氣體上的不足，以及新加坡在發展核電上的潛力，畢竟新加坡的主要能源為天然氣，且未來冷凍空調需求會持續成長。而她也同時知道福島事故的發生原因，認為要從檢討實務面以科技來改善缺陷...不過從她的學術以及實務背景來看(新加坡工程名譽院士)，好像也不會太意外有這樣的言論出現，根本新加坡辣妹一個。

當然新加坡短期內可能還沒有核電廠建置的計畫，2012年的評估結果為不適合，但是相關的研究仍在進行中，2014年起投入了相當多的研究能量於核電技術研發。

SG decided in the early days, no more coal fired power plants bcos of the pollution they bring.

And we switched to gas as soon as it was available, bcos it is less pollutive.

In terms of carbon dioxide emission, coal, oil and gas would be similar.

But in terms of air pollution and various particulates from the fuel composition, gas is the cleanest.

We also considered nuclear.

Pioneers like Dr Tay Eng Soon were attached to the UK Atomic Energy Agency for training.

But singov then decided it was too risky since we have just this one small SG island. And so the team was disbanded.

Dr Tay Eng Soon went on to teach in the university, and later founded the Defence Science Organisation for Mindef, before ending as a politician who transformed vocational training for SG.

But the current generation of nuclear power generation is much safer than the 1st generation of nuclear power plants like the Fukushima plant.

Fukushima relies on active power source to maintain the cooling - lose that power source and there will be a serious meltdown risk.

Current generation designs are based on a fail safe approach. When power fails, the system remains safe.

This is similar to another concept called fail soft approach. In a fail soft approach, the system continues to be operational in a degraded mode, which gives time for corrective action.

With almost all Asean countries wanting to have nuclear power plants at some foreseeable future, it is important that Asean begins to do research especially on safety and security aspects well beforehand to build up professional and scientific capability and capacity to handle nuclear plants well.

An example of emerging security risks would be the cyber risks of an external agency taking over and messing a power plant via software and remote entry.

Newer nuclear options are on the horizon, not eminent, but within decades.

Overall, for a greener earth and to reduce carbon emissions, we must master and adopt nuclear energy as a key solution.

For now, it is better than developed and more capable nations step up their nuclear power capacity.

This will reduce the demand for fossil fuels, and lower the overall carbon emissions.

At the same time, developing economies can do their part to switch away from coal to cleaner gas or greener renewables.
