  • I am on a small instance, so if i am not subbed, they will never make it to “ALL”.

    I am still interested in the others that i am subbed to, but i want the very small ones to float to the top easier.

    I guess by NEW will help, but they will get flooded out by the larger comms that have more posts. catch-22






  • That Fiji match was something else! what a nail biter. Wales should have been carded ages before their first, and probably got another. Shit, they got a “one more and someone goes to the bin”, when they already had someone in the bin.

    Not to mention the no arms tackle given against Fiji in the first half, was not ruled as a no arms when Wales did it, knocking the ball out of Fiji’s arms when the big replacement prob dived over for a try. should have been a penalty try if we are looking at paying like for like.







  • I am listening to a The Solar Insiders Podcast, which is interviewing the CEO of RayGen (thanks for intoducing it to me, really cool).

    the 70% is the efificency of the energy storage, which is similar to pumped hydro. ie, they put in 1MWh to the chiller, and will recover 0.7MWh from the organic rankin cycle turbine.

    so, they get the 30% of the solar (or whatever it is), plus the recovery of the heat. They were saying that for 1 tower, they get 1MW of solar and 2MW of heat. but they never said how much of the 2MW of heat gets converted to electricity, or what the efficiency is, but it sounds like they need to consume electricity to use the ORC (ie for the chiller).

    one other thing is that they ORCs can provide grid inertia which is a cool outcome too.
