Driving the change for better future

#renewableenergy is leading the much needed #change to tackle the #climatechange problem by balancing the Environment and economic need of #ourplanet Now most part of the #world #solarenergy is the cheapest form of energy but because of its intermittent nature it can not solve all our energy need all the time. So we are trying to club it with #Windenergy #batterystorage #hydrogenenergy #fuelcell and other #technologies along with upgrading the #electricalgrid to be more #robust and #smart

BATTERY by Varta by Julie Camera Vause. NZ

To me, Batteries are little metal things that I have to buy to make my best toys work - most importantly, my camera.

They can be dangerous things if they leak their acid out.

They can be expensive, they can be inexpensive, but they are absolutely necessary.

All in all, I (for one) need plenty of them in my life.

All change at Athlone

In the centre of Ireland, the town bus service has become the first in the country to go all electric with its new fleet of fully electric single deckers for the town's bus service in January 2023.

Launched at the end of January 2023, a fleet of new Alexander Dennis/ BYD enviro200EV operated by Bus Eireann, 11 of these EA class operate routes A1 & A2.

During the initial set up, some of the former Wrightbus streetlite WM class were retained while teething problems were ironed out with the new technology.

These single-deck battery-electric buses, EA class are 12m long with two doorways, bespoke design features, wheelchair ramps, usb charging & coloured priority seating, with up to 73 passengers on 27 fixed seats, six tip-up seats within a permanent wheelchair space and dedicated accommodation for a pram, pushchair or buggy.

The Athlone town service operates with two routes ( A1 & A2 ) from Bealnamulla via Athlone bus & rail station, beyond to Creggan every 15 minutes.

Seen above at Athlone railway & bus station, EA 11 operating the A2, followed by WM 17 on the A1 to Creggan.

Well done Bus Eireann.

Lights, Camera, No Engine by Cityswift

Lights, camera, but not much action under the bonnet, the end of the diesel engine, replaced by racks of batteries.

The new Wrightbus StreetDeck Electroliner fully electric double decker was showcased to the media as the National Transport Authority announced 120 vehicles to various cities around Ireland, Limerick to get the first batch next year.

The Electroliner has a rapid charge time of just 2.5 hours, travelling up to 200 miles on full charging & zero emissions.

Lego Tesla Energy Storage Facility by Arthuriel Aurillion

As a follow-up to my Lego Gigafactory MOC I made this creation, which is based on two pictures from Tesla, that show, how a energy storage facility made out of Powerpacks would look like.

What I like about my MOC, is the fact, that I managed to build small gaps between the Powerpacks to make it look more like the original and it's kinda cool, how a project of that size consists only out of a few different types of modules.

The project contains 14348 bricks and here are the two pictures, that I mentioned in the beginning:

PS: The facility can probably store about 110 MWh of energy, since it has 1100 Powerpacks.

On the Tesla website it is written, that each Powerpack can either discharge in 2 or 4 hours, which probably equals to a power output of 27.5 - 55MW for the whole facility.
