Analysis the hype of the musk solar powered Hyperloop transportation system

Last week technology billionaire Elon Musk revealed his ideas for "Hyperloop", a speculative new means of transport, high speed. The system would be at 1,000 km/h car Middle compartments low-pressure pipes (such as pneumatic tubes once used, move e-Mail messages about Office building) drive.
Musk says that San Francisco and Los Angeles (through a proposed $20-collective, 35 minutes) connect the system would cost about $7 billion, or one-tenth of the baseline cost of California raged high speed rail system would connect cities - and can be built in less than a decade.

Of course this bold idea immediately attracted criticism, for example a United States today articles to list on secular reasons is that it don't work like "Round would slow" and "The towers would be harmless." Of course others fell over themselves praising the plan, that musk's vision is so awesome that even if it turn out quite as planned, nor is it great, and always would. The concept of getting simple, overly excited or too skeptical about what a dose of DataPoints is helpful:
If musk had suggested, it would not be value attention. Musk is a very successful entrepreneur, after it quickly rejected as futuristic ideas into successful companies several times: electronic money (PayPal moves $150 billion per year), electric vehicles (Tesla is profitable and the cars are expensive but acclaimed), solar energy (SolarCity gets Luxs coveted "Strong Positive"), space (SpaceX, which developed a national-grade space program in seven years and makes a profit). Musk solid plate lends credibility to an otherwise fantastic Idee.Das system requires no exotic new materials, properties of matter or unproven technologies. Musk 57-page detailed explanation of idea explains how the system could work with relatively commercially available technologies. It admits that there are many technical problems solved, and offers the concept as an open-source concept - a starting point for something actually feasible. So many solid criticism of the plan actually change it.Musk announcement should be seen wrapped in a construction as political commentary. The white paper is opened not with a visionary problem, but with the statement, "If high-speed rail was approved California, I was pretty disappointed, was like I know, that many others were also. How could it be the home of Silicon Valley and (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory)-incredible things like indexing the world's knowledge and Mars Rovers - put would build a bullet train, both most expensive per mile and is one of the slowest in the world? "As many California musk taxpayers are frustrated, because by the cost overruns, delays and mediocre performance of the State high-speed program and the political problem is the musk probably be solved should."Of course, a tech entrepreneur political commentary is not newsworthy, and there is speculation prevalent, whether the apparatus could musk - or anyone - created successfully. Pneumatic transport is versions not new and similar - though much slower - of pneumatically driven people pushers were introduced, and even provided a long time ago. In the 1870s, Paris and New York had air-operated public transport. The vacuum tubes variation of that at present, suggests musk has been studied recently in China and of Switzerland. How can the concept of a technical examination withstand?

The Hyperloop costs per kilometre would be as revolutionary as his speed. California high-speed rail is also a consequence of the political and environmental issues as the technology high costs per kilometre, and Hyperloop, also dog would probably have these concerns. Musk suggests an increased, high-tech solution that indeed use problems such as land, but such systems are more expensive: the Shanghai Pudong monorail cost to build $1.3 billion and is $1.2 billion for 12 km costs 30 km long ($40 million/km), while the monorail Airtrain in New York range ($100 million / km). A way to deny the cost could look for the route with other State spanning infrastructure together. With the same route for a natural gas pipeline or energy transmission lines with PG & E, fiber-optic cable (which are routinely sewer side by side located within city) or water part of the calculus might be.The passenger pod cousin, Tesla, could provide on board power technology. On board batteries are not technological hurdle, because the initial Acceleration (and subsequent increases) must be through external, meets stationary linear electric motors and their energy sources would. The on-board batteries would be used then a big electric compressor fan on the front of the Hyperloop first and foremost for the power supply. The resulting battery would likely order of magnitude of 200 kWh - about three Tesla model S can be transplanted in the value of energy storage capacity, today's battery technology. In addition, these batteries would contribute less than 0.1 per cent - to the entire cost of the Hyperloop, only a sliver - enables in the shadow of infrastructure such as pylons construction and land.Even in sunny California, the solar-powered system backup storage should be. While the musk plan takes over the energy consumption of the system be achieved could, with solar energy - maybe he hopes that SolarCity will receive the installation contract - solar panels would operate grid storage on the expected load. Helps during solar power, would be the greater energy storage facility in the stationary batteries needed to operate the Hyperloop linear electric motors in the night or in bad Wetter.Das, open-source model, an open invitation to the rail system manufacturer, as Bombardier Siemens crowdsourcing is Siemens and ABB, test - drove through the opening of the engineering software to the local motor dimensions, with the now available rally fighter vehicle a certificate for their success. As with other "great innovation" would the spin-offs of R & D on Hyperloop benefit in addition to technologies and promote the process of collaborative design. Manufacturers of other high performance vehicles, such as automotive, aircraft, and spacecraft - like musk of SpaceX or the NewSpace community - should join the Hyperloop amount.

It is time to invest in a power system of the 21st century

America's power system is also vulnerable to modern challenges - a harsh reality, underlined that over a longer period by Hurricane Sandy left 8.1 million people in the dark. However, should no longer surprise widespread outages. The American Society of civil engineers gave the country's electrical infrastructure a "D" class in 2008. Years earlier described a Clinton era Energy Secretary America as "A superpower with a third world grid". Although power system vulnerability over a decade has been clear, has done little to resolve this critical weakness. Wants the United States to remain globally competitive, must the country finally in the establishment of a 21st century makes sustainable economic growth can invest.

All power system excessively dependent on is central power generation and long-distance trains by nature prone to massive failures, and our system has proved this time and again. Every day nearly 500,000 Americans spend at least two hours without electricity during power fluctuations undesirable and blackouts economic activity to a halt grinding - the country up to $188 billion costs annually. Loss of money after failures will climb only higher in the future, since the economic activities require increasingly reliable electricity. High-tech companies need consistent, quality makes, manufacturing plants and almost all companies to protect need reliable energy for the operation of computers and other information technologies. Unfortunately, the nation's current power system not capable of is to not only comply with modern reliability, such as large power outages but also heavier are more common.

Fortunately, the United States have prepared examples to improve its power system. Germany and other European countries have already shown that modern energy systems are technically possible and economically viable. Investment in an intelligent network that integrates significant amounts of local clean energy improves the reliability of the system, economic losses in the event of. The German power system which sufficiently corresponds to midday energy solar roof includes must of half of the country, a global reliability record in 2011 with 15.31 Minute downtime. Even more impressive is that Germany - the world's fourth-largest economy and is home to a strong industrial base - requirements, which have provided massive amounts of reliable power supply and distributed renewable energy. As well as renewable energy sources provide more than 40 percent of the Danish electrical generation and its grid is much more reliable than in the United States. On average, the United States having three times as many failures as Denmark each outage lasts fourteen times as long. In other words, the United States give about 50 times, how long in the dark, even though Denmark is 40 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources.

A modern power system utilizes the latest technologies, the growing demand for reliable energy. Enhanced distributed generation protects against cascading blackouts by weakening the impact of each individual power plant or transmission line scheitern households, businesses and industries. Response, advanced smart grid solutions - like demand, inverter and battery storage - improve driving ability of the grid by interference, while at the same time locally all vital dimensions of the power grid: energy, voltage and frequency. Importantly, provides power without waste, power surges or other interruptions in voltage or frequency that currently plague manufacturing plants and sensitive electronics integrated distributed generation with intelligent network solutions. Moreover, modern grid lay the groundwork for standalone energy "Islands" to continuous power during failures of the widespread grid, to provide essential services several universities and research institutions successfully rely on costly power Hurricane sandy and longer outages.

Despite broad claims that renewable energy is unreliable and expensive, the exact opposite is true evidence. As Germany and Denmark have shown, renewables are intermittent but not unpredictable and superior grid reliability can be achieved also with far higher market penetration of renewable energy sources as the United States is waiting in the next 10 years.

An error by the United States to invest in a 21st century power system would substantially more expensive than the costs prove the transition to a modern power system. The Galvin electricity Institute estimates that the annual cost of power outages more than double annual cost of preventive smart grid investments. To maintain our antiquated power system itself, massive investments are $673 billion by 2020 it is estimated that required. Why not invest this money in the creation of a modern makes system that is able to meet the full set of America's energy needs is?

The clean coalition has developed to reach a road map for the United States to a timely and affordable modern energy system. The roadmap contains summaries of the most important technologies and solutions for efficient travel. As long as the nation is still on central power generation and more than 280,000 km of transmission lines, the power system remains overly susceptible to errors for far-spread by accident, weather and deliberate attack. It is time for the United States in a power system of the 21st century, rather than hundreds of billions of dollars, to invest the care a pathetic legacy issues.

AWEA: Wind power takes new U.S. generating system in 2012

Wind energy industry had the U.S. its strongest year ever in the year 2012, who proclaimed American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) on 30 January. The industry installed a record 13.124 megawatts (MW) United States electrical generation capacity last year, more than 60,000 MW cumulative wind power reach capacity, enough, makes the almost 15 million homes. The annual total output surpasses the previous record of 10,000 MW in 2010 installed. For the first time, wind energy was the number one source of new United States electrical generation plants, 42% of all new generating capacity.

In last year's fourth quarter alone 8.380 MW installed were, so it makes the strongest quarter in the history of the United States of wind. AWEA pointed out that this was due to production tax credit to a large extent on the imminent expiration of the Federal Republic. It was planned, on December 31, 2012, but in the end the American taxpayer was extended by Congress as part of relief Act of the year 2012.

The top 10 States for new capacity installations in the year 2012, in order, were Texas (1,826 MW), California (1,656 MW), Kansas (1440 MW), Oklahoma (1,127 MW), Illinois (823 MW) (Iowa) (814 MW), Oregon (640 MW), Michigan (611 MW), Pennsylvania (550 MW), and Colorado (496 MW). Golden State won its position as the second largest State in installed wind capacity surpassed Iowa, which was reached the 5,000-MW milestone in wind capacity, following Texas, and in addition to the Iowa number two since 2008 — California.

Navy China Lake solar system begins operations

SunPower Corp. on October 19 announced the signing of the United States Navy largest solar plant, a 13.78-megawatt photovoltaic (PV) power solar system at naval air weapons station China Lake, California. The power plant is the first project of the federal employment agency financed by solar power purchase agreement 20 years. The plant developed and operated by SunPower Corp., the equivalent of more than 30% of the annual energy load China Lake's contribution to the reduction of costs by an estimated $13 generate millions in the next 20 years.

The 20 year old makes contract none requires capital or maintenance in advance commitments from the Navy, corresponds to traditional project financing conditions for solar power plants and allows the Navy power up to 30% lower than the rate by shorter available secure 10-year power purchase agreement.

SunPower has installed until today more than 50 megawatts (MW) of solar power stations at State institutions. The systems delivered by the company to the Navy and the air force alone to generate enough electricity makes approximately 9,000 apartments. According to estimates of the US Environmental Protection Agency reduced the Navy and air force systems emits the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere almost 732.000 tons in the next 20 years. See the press release of SunPower.

China Lake has four geothermal power plants, which produce up to 270 MW of electricity or for Approximiately 378,000 households with electricity. The site has been in continuous operation since 1987, and was the marine first website, thermal energy to tap. For the China Lake natural resources Web page.

Time To Consider a Thermal "System Benefits Charge"?

Well before most states and/or the federal government had enacted renewable electric or fuel mandates, many states imposed modest surcharges on electricity and natural gas, with the revenues used to finance efficiency programs. Often referred to as “system benefits charges” (SBCs), these programs have funded billions in efficiency and conservation programs for utility customers.

A defining characteristic of SBCs is that they are nearly universally imposed on customers of regulated electric and natural gas utilities, and conveniently collected through utility bills. The incentives made possible by these funds are limited to utility customers and generally do not fund programs that eliminate the customer’s use of the regulated energy. For example, SBC funds cannot be used to pay for fuel switching to a renewable technology that eliminates a customer’s use of electricity or natural gas. Instead they typically fund gas or electric efficiency or conservation measures while retaining the customers dependence on these non-renewable energy sources. It’s reasonable that those who pay should receive the benefit, but the inability to fund the switch to renewables greatly narrows the potential benefits, especially for heating.

Perhaps it is time we took a hard look at SBCs on unregulated fuels such as heating oil or propane, two expensive and often imported fuels. This is not a new idea, as some states have considered legislation imposing modest fees on these fuels, but with very restrictive uses for the funds. In Massachusetts, for example, a heating oil/propane SBC of $0.025/gallon is proposed to fund efficiency upgrades with the proceeds used to cost-share installation of more efficient oil or propane heating systems (ironically perpetuating dependence on these costly and non-renewable fuels). If the SBC were to be extended to include the funding of efficient bioenergy heating equipment that uses wood pellets or wood chips or include biodiesel used as a liquid heating fuel then perhaps a more comprehensive and fuel neutral program focused on thermal efficiency and renewables could be developed.

Implementation Concepts

A thermal SBC would take the form of a modest assessment administered at the state level on a diversity of unregulated heating fuels such as heating oil, propane, kerosene and wood pellets that have well established distribution systems. It is expected that the importers and distributors of these fuels would pass the assessment along to the consumer in the form of slightly higher energy costs.

The revenues derived would be deposited in a non-lapsing fund in each state. The fund would be administered by an appropriate state agency or quasi-public commission (with public and private oversight). The purposes of this fund would be to:

(a) Finance a comprehensive program of education, outreach and incentives to residential, commercial, municipal, and industrial consumers to encourage them to install thermal renewable energy technologies, combined heat & power technologies, or community-scale district heating (e.g. it could offer a one time upfront rebate against verified installed cost of such systems). Other possibilities include grants, incentives, low/no interest loans, administration of revolving loan funds, property tax credits, business tax credits etc.;

(b) Support the distributors and installers of conventional fossil heating fuels and systems in adopting alternative thermal renewable technologies and fuel distribution (this would help those businesses negatively impacted by the imposition and collection of the SBC fee to transition to new business opportunities in thermal renewable technologies), and in assisting their customers in replacing old inefficient oil and propane appliances with new systems that meet minimum efficiency requirements;

The size of the fee would decline over time as new renewable thermal energy business sectors reach critical mass and are able to flourish without support from the SBC; or, as the cost differential between fossil and renewable energy cost grows wider and free market economics are sufficient to drive the transition and meet state goals. Conceivably the fee could be phased out in as short a period as 5 years. In addition, the fee could be reduced or waived during periods of unusually high market pricing for fossil energy, and reinstated when market pricing drops – providing a so-called “price floor.”

This approach combines a traditional SBC on fossil fuels with a commodity “check-off” program on pellets or biodiesel, similar to those widely administered in support of marketing and R&D for agricultural commodities (examples include national promotional campaigns for milk, eggs, pork, beef, and more recently, softwood lumber). However, check off programs have generally been sanctioned by Congress and applied nationwide, not state by state.

Considerations

The implementation of the thermal SBC will be complex and challenging. There are many important considerations that must be addressed. Among these are:

Whether or not to tie the SBC to the achievement of measurable goals, such as many state RPS programs do.Who will provide monitoring and verification of progress toward meeting goals?How much of a thermal SBC fee would be necessary and acceptable to consumers?How to collect SBC fees on unregulated heating fuels such as cordwood?How to ensure the efficient implementation of state programs and incentives while keeping bureaucracy and administrative costs to a minimum.Fair and equitable access to funds by all sectors: residential, commercial, municipal, industrial.Use of funds based on broad public policy objectives without technology or fuel bias.

DOE Highlights Commissioning of Army Fuel Cell System

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.

DOE on November 17 recognized the commissioning of an innovative fuel cell system at the Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The fuel cell will supply the facility with emergency backup power. The four-stack system is one of the first of 18 fuel cells to be installed and operated at military bases across the country under an interagency partnership between DOE and the Department of Defense. Under the partnership, the departments test how the fuel cells perform in real-world operations, identify technical improvements manufacturers can make to enhance performance, and highlight the benefits of fuel cells for emergency backup power applications.

Compared with batteries, fuel cells are a reliable source of backup power because they offer long continuous run times and greater durability in harsh outdoor environments, which makes them ideal power sources for military applications. Unlike traditional electricity generators used for backup power, fuel cells use no petroleum and are quieter. And, they produce fewer pollutants and emissions than traditional generators do. Fuel cells also typically require less maintenance than either batteries or traditional generators do, and they can easily be monitored remotely to reduce maintenance time.

Aberdeen Proving Ground will also install three 5-killowatt (kW) fuel cells to provide critical back up power to its Range Control and Coordination Building, and an 8-kW fuel cell to provide backup power to the Snow Emergency building. Seven other military installations will install emergency fuel cell backup power under the memorandum of understanding signed by DOE and Defense in 2010. The Defense Department will manage the $6.6 million project, and DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory will collect performance data for the first two years of this five-year demonstration, making the data available to fuel cell developers and commercial and government leaders interested in adopting this technology. See the DOE press release and DOE's Fuel Cells Technology Program website.

Mountain Valley throws switch on photovoltaic system

Two switches flipped GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado - Heather Johnson Friday morning and officially the activates new solar electric system on the roof at Mountain Valley developmental services.

"Cool!" said Johnson, a mountain valley client and Glenwood Springs-based, be carried out after the ceremony.

In fact produces clean electricity electric solar system for about a week, according to Bruce Christensen, Managing Director of the non-profit agency. He has checked the system of inverter on the day to see, how much energy that it produces and how much carbon dioxide it keeps out of the atmosphere.

"Until the end of the year, we will save 100 tons of carbon dioxide,", said Christensen.

"With a system like this you really carbon reduction can take into your own hands", said Isaac Ellis, small Sunsense system project manager solar from Carbondale, the installation program of the system.

Mountain Valley is solar system rated to 10 kilowatts under maximum solar conditions produce electricity. In the first week it had produced electricity, the amount of electricity to be used for the settlement already 362.

In the course of a year the system is expected to generate at least one third of the electrical requirements at Mountain Valley offices, classrooms and greenhouse in South Glenwood, and store the not-for profit $1,300 on their electricity bill.

While a "toast and tour" celebration Friday on the new concentrated solar system, the project involved also a new roof and lighting upgrades for the 90-year-old building.

"We do not think that it makes sense to put that had a 30-year life, panels on a 32-year-old roof" Christensen said.

-A light tomato red metal roof, which replaced the old, little leaking, faded red roof - cost $49,884 the new roof. A $25,000 scholarship of the Aspen Community Foundation for half of the cost of that paid for the upgrade.

Mountain Valley worked also to its overall electrical requirements to reduce, so that the solar system could compensate for its electrical use more. With the help of the Garfield clean energy challenge replaced Valley its older Office and greenhouse lighting with a more efficient ballasts and lamps. The investment cost $8,735 and a Garfield clean energy rebate for $5000, the cost paid.

About half the cost of the solar system was also paid by discounts. System costs $51,250 install and mountain valley received a $10,000-discount of Governor's energy Office, a $15,000-Glenwood Springs electric and a $3,000 discount-discount by the community for resource efficiency.

$23250, Left the mountain valley health financing cost of the solar system.

The new system increases a smaller solar electric system in the on the top of mountain valley greenhouse, currently from Aspen Skiing co. Environment Foundation funded. The Agency has also space in the solar-powered third street Center in Carbondale.

Now searching employees in installing solar energy at the Agency in mud, a former Church, which has a large South coated roof.

"We have to rebuild our reserves, and then we look at the sludge plant," Christensen said.
