#wave energy converter market

[renewablephilosopher]

Renewable energy is becoming increasingly important as the world seeks to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and transition to a more sustainable energy system. Wave energy, in particular, has gained attention as a potential renewable energy source that can be harnessed from the ocean. In this paper, we will discuss the progress made in testing renewable energy off wave generation in the ocean, how far the technology has advanced, whether wave generation energy is a viable renewable energy source for the future, and how wave generation generates energy.

Wave energy refers to the energy that is present in the ocean's waves, which can be converted into electricity. There are different ways of harnessing wave energy, but the most common method involves using a device that captures the kinetic energy of the waves and converts it into electrical power. These devices are typically installed offshore and can be connected to the grid to supply electricity to homes and businesses.

The technology for harnessing wave energy is still in the early stages of development, but there have been significant advances in recent years. There are currently several prototype devices in operation around the world, including the Pelamis, the Wave Dragon, and the Oyster. These devices use different methods for capturing wave energy, but all have the same goal of converting the kinetic energy of the waves into electricity.

The Pelamis is a wave energy converter that consists of several connected cylindrical sections that move in response to wave motion. The movement of the sections drives hydraulic pumps, which in turn drive generators to produce electricity. The Wave Dragon is a floating platform that uses the motion of the waves to drive turbines, which generate electricity. The Oyster is a device that captures the energy of nearshore waves and uses it to pump high-pressure water to an onshore turbine, which generates electricity.

Despite the progress that has been made, wave energy is still not a viable renewable energy source for the future. One of the main challenges of wave energy is that it is an intermittent source of energy. Unlike solar and wind energy, which can be generated consistently throughout the day, wave energy is dependent on the ocean's waves, which are influenced by a variety of factors, including wind, tides, and weather patterns. This makes it difficult to predict and plan for wave energy production, which can make it difficult to integrate into the grid.

Another challenge of wave energy is that the devices used to capture it can be expensive and difficult to maintain. Offshore devices are subject to harsh environmental conditions, including saltwater corrosion and high waves, which can cause wear and tear on the devices. This can result in high maintenance costs, which can make wave energy more expensive than other renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind.

Despite these challenges, there is still significant potential for wave energy as a renewable energy source. According to a report by the US Department of Energy, wave energy has the potential to supply up to 20% of the country's electricity needs by 2050 [[3]]. This potential is due in part to the fact that wave energy is a much denser source of energy than wind, which means that it can generate more electricity per unit of area. Additionally, there are vast areas of the ocean that are suitable for wave energy production, which means that there is significant potential for scaling up the technology.

In conclusion, wave energy is a promising renewable energy source that has the potential to play a significant role in our transition to a more sustainable energy system. While the technology for harnessing wave energy is still in the early stages of development, there have been significant advances in recent years, and there is still significant potential for further development. However, wave energy is still not a viable renewable energy source for the future, due to its intermittent nature and high maintenance costs. Nevertheless, with the right policies and investments, wave energy has the potential to become an important renewable energy producer.

Mass tech worker layoffs and the soft landing

As tech giants reach terminal enshittification, hollowed out to the point where they are barely able to keep their end-users or business customers locked in, the capital classes are ready for the final rug-pull, where all the value is transfered from people who make things for a living to people who own things for a living.

If you’d like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here’s a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/21/tech-workers/#sharpen-your-blades-boys

“Activist investors” have triggered massive waves of tech layoffs, firing so many tech workers so quickly that it’s hard to even come up with an accurate count. The total is somewhere around 280,000 workers:

https://layoffs.fyi/

These layoffs have nothing to do with “trimming the fat” or correcting the hiring excesses of the lockdown. They’re a project to transfer value from workers, customers and users to shareholders. Google’s layoff of 12,000 workers followed fast on the heels of gargantuan stock buyback where the company pissed away enough money to pay those 12,000 salaries…for the next 27 years.

The equation is simple: the more companies invest in maintenance, research, development, moderation, anti-fraud, customer service and all the other essential functions of the business, the less money there is to remit to people who do nothing and own everything.

The tech sector has grown and grown since the first days of the PC — which were also the first days of neoliberalism (literally: the Apple ][+ went on sale the same year Ronald Reagan hit the campaign trail). But despite a long-run tight labor market for tech workers, there have been two other periods of mass layoffs — the 2001 dotcom collapse and the Great Financial Crisis of 2008.

Both of those were mass extinction events for startups and the workers who depended on them. The mass dislocations of those times were traumatic, and each one had its own aftermath. The dotcom collapse freed up tons of workers, servers, offices and furniture, and a massive surge in useful, user-centric technologies. The Great Financial Crisis created the gig economy and a series of exploitative, scammy “bro” startups, from cryptocurrency grifts to services like Airbnb, bent on converting the world’s housing stock into unlicensed hotel rooms filled with hidden cameras.

Likewise, the post-lockdown layoffs have their own character: as Eira May writes on StackOverflow, many in the vast cohort of laid-off tech workers is finding it relatively easy to find new tech jobs, outside of the tech sector:

https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/03/19/whats-different-about-these-layoffs/

May cites a Ziprecruiter analysis that claims that 80% of laid-off tech workers found tech jobs within 3 months, and that there are 375,000 open tech roles in American firms today (and that figure is growing):

https://www.ziprecruiter.com/blog/laid-off-tech-workers/

There are plenty of tech jobs — just not in tech companies. They’re in “energy and climate technology, healthcare, retail, finance, agriculture, and more” — firms with intensely technical needs and no technical staff. Historically, many of these firms would have outsourced their technological back-ends to the Big Tech firms that just destroyed so many jobs to further enrich the richest people on Earth. Now, those companies are hiring ex-Big Tech employees to run their own services.

The Big Tech firms are locked in a race to see who can eat their seed corn the fastest. Spreading tech expertise out of the tech firms is a good thing, on balance. Big Tech’s vast profits come from smaller businesses in the real economy who couldn’t outbid the tech giants for tech talent — until now.

These mass layoff speak volumes about the ethos of Silicon Valley. The same investors who rent their garments demanding a bailout for Silicon Valley Bank to “help the everyday workers” are also the loudest voices for mass layoffs and transfers to shareholders. The self-styled “angel investor” who spent the weekend of SVB’s collapse all-caps tweeting dire warnings about the impact on “the middle class” and “Main Street” also gleefully DM’ed Elon Musk in the runup to his takeover of Twitter:

Day zero

Sharpen your blades boys 🔪

2 day a week Office requirement = 20% voluntary departures.

For many technologists, the allure of digital tools is the possibility of emancipation, a world where we can collaborate to make things without bosses or masters. But for the bosses and masters, automation’s allure is the possibility of getting rid of workers, shattering their power, and replacing them with meeker, cheaper, more easily replaced labor.

That means that workers who go from tech firms to firms in the real economy might be getting lucky — escaping the grasp of bosses who dream of a world where technology lets them pit workers against each other in a race to the bottom on wages, benefits and working conditions, to employers who are glad to have them as partners in their drive to escape Big Tech’s grasp.

Tomorrow (Mar 22), I’m doing a remote talk for the Institute for the Future’s “Changing the Register” series.

Random fun chemistry facts

(Some of these are "duh" for experts, but I find them really fun as a chemistry layperson anyway).

Every element after lead is radioactive.

Diamond and graphite are both forms pure carbon takes. (This is why it's so easy to create synthetic diamond, and why De Beers is shitting themselves currently. Turns out when you have the technology to create entirely new elements, even if only for seconds of observation, rearranging carbon atoms into particular configurations is trivial. But, ya know, De Beers would rather keep their slaves.)

The most radioactive naturally-occurring element is believed to be polonium, though some man-made elements are more radioactive since they have half-lives on the order of seconds. Polonium-210 is the most radioactive isotype thereof, and has the dubious honor of having been used in a political assassination.

Light behaves like both a wave and a particle at the same time, which is called wave-particle duality, and is kinda insane to think about.

"Mole day" is celebrated on October 23 every year, because written out in American conventions, it becomes 10/23, which references Avogadro's constant, 6.022*10^23. (This number equals one mole, and is used to define an amount of a substance.)

Helium is lighter than air, which is why balloons float. Also, helium can and will escape into space, making it non-recoverable, which is kind of a problem since helium is also used to cool the magnets of MRI machines.

Absolute zero (a temperature that has never actually been reached) is the point at which all molecular activity ceases/the kinetic energy disappears from the system. Even if you cooled a mass of helium to this point, it would still be a liquid instead of a solid.

Thioacetone is believed to be the worst smelling chemical in the world. It's capable of inducing nausea in people .4 km away.

Alfred Nobel, the person who the Nobel Prize is named for, invented dynamite, intended to assist in mining. There is a popular story that he was the subject of a prematurely-published obituary calling him the "merchant of death", which horrified him so much that he shifted his focus and later invented the Nobel prize to save his reputation, but this has never been verified and some think it might be apocryphal.

Some chemicals have different forms, called isomers, that still work drastically differently. The most infamous of these is thalidomide. It is a chiral (that is, like your left and right hand, it can't be superimposed over its mirror image) molecule. The "good" form, R-thalidomide, was useful in treating morning sickness, but the body would convert this to S-thalidomide since it couldn't distinguish the two. The S-thalidomide then caused an epidemic of birth defects, and thalidomide was removed from the market. It remains a popular case study for a variety of issues: isomers and interconversion, chirality, birth defects, and more.

Just some random fun facts. :)

Physicists develop new solar cell design for better efficiency

Physicists at Paderborn University have used complex computer simulations to develop a new design for significantly more efficient solar cells than previously available. A thin layer of organic material, known as tetracene, is responsible for the increase in efficiency. The results have now been published in Physical Review Letters. "The annual energy of solar radiation on Earth amounts to over one trillion kilowatt hours and thus exceeds the global energy demand by more than 5,000 times. Photovoltaics, i.e., the generation of electricity from sunlight, therefore offers a large and still largely untapped potential for the supply of clean and renewable energy. Silicon solar cells used for this purpose currently dominate the market, but have efficiency limits," explains Prof Dr. Wolf Gero Schmidt, physicist and Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Paderborn University. One reason for this is that some of the energy from short-wave radiation is not converted into electricity, but into unwanted heat.

Methods of Implementing DC PLC Protocols

DC PLC communication mainly controls and monitors the condition of solar panels and energy storage systems. Additionally, DC PLC technologies are applied in industrial settings to supply power to electric motors and control them using a single pair of wires. All these applications suggest that the units responsible for communication over the power line are typically integrated into the corresponding devices (solar panel controllers, machines, and robots). Therefore, many automation system developers must understand how PLC protocols over DC power lines are implemented.

G3-PLC

The G3-PLC protocol is maintained by the international organization G3-Alliance.

Chipsets for this protocol generally comprise two microchips: an analog device for interfacing with the transmission line and a specialized microcontroller (SoC). In addition to signal processing, the microcontroller also handles encryption of the data transmitted over the line. The chipset may include a third chip responsible for converting the G3-PLC signal to one of the wireless protocols and back. Typically, this is the G3-Hybrid protocol designed for wireless networks to work alongside PLC. This protocol uses the 868 and 915 MHz frequency bands (which are not allowed for use in all countries).

This is an example of a G3-PLC chipset from STMicroelectronics: on the left is the microcontroller, and on the right is the analog interface chip.

The chipsets and their firmware must be certified by the G3-Alliance to bear the G3-PLC label. However, such certification does not negate the need to certify G3-PLC solutions with national communications authorities if required by local regulations.

At least three manufacturers of G3-PLC chipsets are known: Maxim Integrated (a division of the US-based Analog Devices), STMicroelectronics (a European company headquartered in the Netherlands), and Vertexcom Technologies (China).

PLC-Lite

The implementation of this protocol is governed by TI's internal documents. The TMS320F28035 universal signal processor is used for signal processing. In addition, the receiver and transmitter must include the AFE031 line interface chip. The chipset also includes execution devices LM34910 and TPS62170.

IEEE 2847-2021

At the time of writing, a South Korean startup was producing devices supporting IEEE 2847-2021 (HPDS-PLC); the protocol is used in an LED lighting controller and a servo drive. Information about the components used for their development is not publicly available.

Data Transmission from Vehicle Batteries Sensors

A new technology that optimizes electric vehicle charging based on the battery's parameters and its wear level. Wireless sensors are installed on the battery. The wires inside the vehicle through which the charging current flows act as antennas. The signal passes through the electric vehicle charging connector. It continues to propagate along the charging cable as a guided medium. This solves the problem caused by the inability of radio waves to pass through the vehicle's metal body. A transceiver is connected to the cable at the charging station.

This solution uses one of the wireless protocols from the IEEE 802.15.4 family. The most widespread and cost-effective in this family is the Zigbee protocol. Therefore, it makes sense to use a chipset specifically for this protocol. Zigbee uses the 2.4 GHz band, and the frequency data transmission occurs along the charging station's cable. It should be noted that this solution is only possible for DC charging because, in this mode, the wires from the charging connector go directly to the battery.

Is software implementation of PLC algorithms possible?

For G3-PLC, using a general-purpose processor instead of a specialized microcontroller would require more chips than just two. Large production volumes and significant market competition produce relatively low prices for G3-PLC chipsets. These chips are manufactured across different regions—America, Europe, and Asia—ensuring a diversified supply. Therefore, developing a custom G3-PLC solution using general-purpose chips is not economically viable.

In PLC-Lite, a different company's signal processor can be used instead of TI's. However, new firmware would need to be written for it, which is quite costly. The TMS320F28035 is well protected from reverse engineering, so third parties cannot read the firmware stored in its memory.

No specialized chips are being produced yet for the IEEE 2847-2021 protocol, so its signal-processing algorithms must be implemented through the software on general-purpose microcontrollers.

It is more cost-effective to use specialized chips for creating PLC solutions.

The Zigbee protocol is implemented with a single chip that includes a microcontroller and a transceiver operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Using a general-purpose microcontroller would require a separate radio module, and interfacing these two units would be a highly complex task.

In conclusion, specialized chipsets are more cost-effective for PLC systems (except those using the IEEE 2847-2021 protocol).
