I have the privilege of living in a house with air conditioning and working in an office with air conditioning. But even when I walk to the train station to take the train instead of driving I wish my city would do something as simple as make sure all sidewalks are shaded with trees, but instead most sidewalks in my area are not near shade trees 🙄. That alone would make so many pedestrians, commuters (and homeless people obviously) have a higher quality of life and would even make my neighborhood look nicer 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wish I knew what to do about that but aside from sending an email that won’t get read does anyone have any tips as to solve this issue locally?????

A lot of bus stops in my city are also not shaded.

Sorry I’m mostly just complaining about getting sweaty walking to the train station but for some people this problem is obviously much worse.

This Is The Best Book I’ve Ever Read to Empower Anyone with Real Climate Hope

READ MY REVIEW👉 Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Hope

"To hope is to accept despair as an emotion but not as an analysis. To recognize that what is unlikely is possible, just as what is likely is not inevitable." —Rebecca Solnit

What gives me hope is that human history is full of examples of people across the ages who have risen to face the great challenges of their time and have succeeded. Victory is not the arrival in some promised land; it is the series of imperfect victories along the way that edge us closer to building the critical mass that eventually shifts the status quo.” —Rebecca Solnit

How Solar Power Plants Generate Electricity?

Solar power plants are revolutionizing the energy industry and aspire to deliver, a renewable energy technology that can be dependent on to meet any demand. We live in a world where the sun's rays were once only a source of warmth and light and are now becoming a powerful energy source.

As mankind seeks to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change, solar energy has emerged as a promising alternative.

The solar power system consists of vast arrays of solar panels, that capture the sun's energy and transform it into electrical energy. This renewable resource offers a clean alternative to traditional energy sources, with no or minimal environmental impact.

In this article, we will try to understand more about this energy form and also how solar power plants generate electricity.

How do solar power plants generate electricity?

Basic Components in Solar Power Plant:

Solar Panels: Solar panels are plate-shaped panels made up of numerous photovoltaic cells. These cells are the fundamental units that convert sunlight into electricity.

Inverters: These are electronic devices that convert the direct current (DC) generated by the solar panels into alternating current (AC). The generated form of current is compatible with the electrical grid.

Transformers: Transformers are used to increase the voltage of the AC electricity. You need to raise the voltage to make AC electricity suitable for long-distance transmission.

Steps to generate solar electricity:

These are the steps involved in generating solar electricity in the power plant.

1. Solar Energy Capture:

When sunlight reaches the photovoltaic cells in a solar panel it excites the electrons within the cells. The movement of electrons causes the flow and creates an electrical current. The individual cells in a solar panel are in series connection to increase the voltage of the generated electricity.

2. Inverters:

The direct current (DC) that gets generated in the solar panels is not suitable for direct use. Inverters are used to convert this DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity. Alternating Current (AC) is the standard form of electricity used in homes and businesses.

3. Energy Transmission:

The AC electricity generated by the solar power plant is then transmitted through transmission cables to a substation. At the substation, the voltage of the electricity is stepped up to a high voltage, making it more efficient to transmit. The stepping up of voltage helps in making the transmission with negligible resistance loss. The high-voltage electricity is then sent to the electrical grid for distribution to domestic and commercial consumers.

Types of Solar Power Plants

Solar power plants are broadly classified into three main categories:

1. Ground-Mounted Solar Power Plants

Ground-mounted solar power plants are large set arrays of solar panels installed on the ground. The panels are connected to inverters that convert the DC electricity into AC electricity.

Advantages:

Large-scale power generation: Ground-mounted solar power plants generate significant amounts of electricity.

Optimal sunlight exposure: They are located in areas where abundant sunlight is found maximizing power output.

Land flexibility: They are installed on various types of land which can include agricultural land, industrial sites, and wastelands.

2. Floating Solar Power Plants

Floating solar power plants are solar power systems that are installed on water bodies. The panels are installed on floating platforms that are anchored to the waterbed.

Advantages:

Land conservation: These are seen in water bodies, which serves the purpose of conservation of land resources.

Reduced evaporation: Using such plants the water evaporation from reservoirs is reduced.

3. Rooftop Solar Power Plants

Rooftop solar power plants are systems that are installed on the roofs of buildings. They typically consist of solar panels, inverters, and a mounting system. Rooftop solar plants are generally small in capacity.

Advantages:

Decentralized power generation: You don’t have to entirely rely on the grid always, use rooftop solar plants for decentralized power generation.

Lower installation costs: They have lower installation costs compared to ground-mounted plants.

Reduced energy bills: Rooftop solar plants can reduce electricity bills for residence owners and businesses.

Each type of solar power plant has its advantages and purpose of existence. The sole choice of the power plant depends on available space, land use regulations, and specific energy needs.

Conclusion

In short, solar energy has emerged as the promising solution to the energy challenges faced by the world. If you want to know more about electricity generation in solar plants, reach the industry leader, KPI Green Energy Limited.

Biden Administration Allocates $1.5 Billion for Electric Power Projects

The Biden administration has announced a significant investment of $1.5 billion aimed at enhancing electric power infrastructure across several states, including a crucial interconnection for Texas's isolated power grid. This initiative, unveiled on Thursday, is designed to improve grid reliability and expand energy access.

The four projects collectively aim to add 7,100 megawatts of new electric power capacity in states such as Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas—enough energy to power over 710 million LED light bulbs.

A standout project will establish a connection between the isolated Texas grid and the power markets in the Southeastern United States. This interconnection gained prominence following the devastating Winter Storm Uri in 2021, which led to extensive power outages and resulted in numerous fatalities. Research has indicated that linking Texas to the national grid could have mitigated some of these blackouts.

The Biden administration has emphasized the importance of transmission lines as a solution to the climate crisis, noting that many renewable energy projects face challenges in connecting to the grid. White House adviser John Podesta stated, "When President Biden and Vice President Harris took office, they set out a vision to tackle the climate crisis and power the economy with clean electricity. In order to get there, we need to more than double our current transmission capacity."

Funding for these projects is sourced from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and follows three other initiatives previously announced under the same transmission program.

Among the other projects included in this investment is the construction of a new power substation in Haynesville, Maine, along with a 111-mile power line that will connect it to the wider New England grid. Additionally, a project will facilitate the integration of wind and solar energy in eastern Oklahoma, while another will span New Mexico, supporting the area's semiconductor, battery manufacturing industries, and data centers.
