0Analysis | California's solar problem can be solved with floating wind farms'
The explosion in solar capacity has resulted in a large mid day power supply. Reaching this grid peak. especially during heat waves and droughts. has become an experience. The strain on California's power grid. its governor and. of course. its residents. it's also painful for environmentalists. because the source of those dark hours are the factories that run. using natural gas An obvious. but expensive. zero emission technology to relocate peak gas production plants is to store batteries to use excess solar energy during the day and distribute it This is more in line with California's electricity demand situation. Offshore turbines can operate as the sun sets over the Pacific. reducing the need to switch to gas fired plants and finally the amount of battery to install.More accurate supply demand matching is a necessary. but often overlooked. element of the energy transition. ng. Greater penetration of renewables. at a reasonable cost. means meeting solar and wind demand for as many hours as possible. as they are essentially operated free once built.'
