www.unendlich-viel-energie.de The secure and constant provision of power anywhere and at anytime by renewable energies is now made possible thanks to the Combined Power Plant. The Combined Power Plant links and controls 36 wind, solar, biomass and hydropower installations spread throughout Germany. It is just as reliable and powerful as a conventional large-scale power station. The Combined Renewable Energy Power Plant shows how, through joint control of small and decentralised plants, it is possible to provide reliable electricity in accordance with needs. The Combined Power Plant optimally combines the advantages of various renewable energy sources. Wind turbines and solar modules help generate electricity in accordance with how much wind and sun is available. Biogas and hydropower are used to make up the difference they are converted into electricity as needed in order to balance out short-term fluctuations, or are temporarily stored. Technically, there is nothing preventing us from 100 per cent provision with renewables. The Combined Power Plant is an initiative of the companies Enercon GmbH, Schmack Biogas AG and SolarWorld AG, and is supported by many partners from the renewable energy sector.

genius. i like the idea,its clean. other country’s should apply it.
Yup, Austria’s working on it.
I think this video painted a bit too rosy picture for wind power. The power from wind increases exponentially with wind speed, but the frequency of such winds is quite low.
In effect, most energy is produced in big surges that last from few hours to few days, and the rest of the time the mills produce very little.
Half of the energy with wind power may come in in just 15% of the running time, which is roughly equivalent to getting a whole week’s load in one or two days, and then just dribbles for the rest of the week.
You need very large water dams for that sort of energy reserves on a national scale, and water power isn’t without environmental impact either. Methane release from rotting biomatter is impossible to control in large dams due to the sheer size of them.
You still need coal fired plants to supply the windmill generator magneticing power.
chile is gonna work on it too
very good
what ever you did , you are going to use our saudi oil
Man made climate change and global warming is a hoax! Check out climategate. Al Gore is a fraud!!
We also musn’t forget that there are now a host of new energy storage technologies which allow excess power from wind & solar to be stored for when its needed.
Oh, & the only hoax being perpetrated is by the fossil fuel industry-which is using Denialism as a means to retain their dominance of our energy & fuel sectors-whatever the social or environmental cost!
such as???
Well done video, easy to understand and shows something positive is being done about these issues. AGW deniers would have us sit on our hands and do nothing (except burn more coal)
thats a great idea and great combination of wind and hydal power plants
@MrHicks091
wind and solar is bullshit energy!
stop being delirious, we are at the same point 30 years ago !
invest the billions in reliable means such as fusion,not bullshit energy!
@captinseperoth Oh that’s too funny for words. In the space of 30 years, the efficiency of solar cells has more than *tripled*, whilst the cost per watt has fallen from $25 to little more than $3. A wind turbine used to only generate 500Kw each, now they generate 2-3MW each. All of this has been achieved on a fraction of the money received by coal & nuclear power. Meanwhile, please point me to even *one* working fusion reactor!
@MrHicks091
the sun, as it produces it’s energy through fusion, and in one secound it produces more energy of what USA uses in a million years.
also
doesn’t the sun produces your hailed energy source, of wind and solar?
another “reactors” are the ITER facility, and JET facility
we can create the fusion process,and we have been doing it for decades, but the trick is maintaining it…
there are teams working on this problem around the world right now.
@captinseperoth yeah, way to be pedantic buddy. I obviously meant ones built by HUMANS. I know of the ITER & JET facilities but, as you say, they’re not really *working*-they can’t be maintained &-last I checked-they use up more energy than they generate. Funny, though, they’ve been working on nuclear *FUSION* for more than 30 years, & the program has received many hundreds of billions of dollars-for no real result. Yet you bag solar & wind? How curious.
@MrHicks091
if solar is so great,why don’t simply plaster immense entire areas, such as death valley?
if energy solar is so good,why does it take many decades for the initial investment to be payed off for those who put solar panels on their roof tops?
Also is the green movement really for the environment, or deep down its the newest marketing
@captinseperoth So, according to my research, R&D into workable Fusion has been going on since the 1950′s, & the EU alone has pumped more than EU$10 billion into its program (up to the year 2000), & has budgeted another EU$10 billion for the ITER alone. Yet still it is unable to generate power for the grid. You might want to rethink what you call bullshit energy, Wind & solar are both putting millions of gw-h per year into the grid, world-wide.
@captinseperoth btw, just so you don’t misunderstand me, I *do* want them to keep funding research into fusion power-& I *do* hope it succeeds one day. In the *meantime*, however, I want to see greater development of power sources which can reduce our demand for non-renewable resources RIGHT NOW! Not 50 years from now!
@MrHicks091
we can renew atomic waste, just do what the french do
also DEMO
@captinseperoth Seriously mate, where the hell do you get your info from? You can buy a good 1.5kw solar panel for under AU$2000. A solar panel of this size generates roughly 8 kw-h per day of electricity. At a retail cost of AU$0.25c per kw-h, this means you get AU$2 per day of electricity. In the space of a year that equates to around AU$700. This means that the average solar panel has paid itself off in less than 4 years. So please spare me your ill-informed BABBLE!
@captinseperoth Given how ill-informed all of your other comments have been, you’ll forgive me if I take this claim with another pinch of salt. Very little recycling of atomic waste goes on, because the *cost* of this approach would make nuclear power too expensive to be practical. Even now, the French nuclear power sector relies on *massive* government subsidies to remain viable. So do spare us all your anti-renewable, pro-nuclear BS, it really is getting boring.
@sertaco Sorry I never got back to you. Vanadium flow (REDOX) batteries allow storage of excess electrons for slow release later-a similar approach could be used for PV electricity too. For solar thermal, you have molten salt, variable pressure steam & thermal decomposition of methane, sulfur trioxide or ammonia-which can all be re-reacted later to recover the heat.
