With more energy generated from renewable energy sources than from fossil fuels in the European Union for the first time ever at the end of July 2024, what are the chances that the European Union can achieve zero-carbon of its economy much earlier than 2050?
For the first time ever at the end of July 2024, more energy was generated in the European Union from renewable energy sources than from fossil fuels. This fact may suggest that due to rapidly developing renewable energy sources, the European Union may achieve zero-carbon of its economy much sooner than 2050. However, the structure of energy sources, including renewable, zero-carbon and emission-based, fossil-fuel-burning energy sources, varies widely across the European Union. Also, the pace of development of individual renewable and emission-free energy sources, the scale of financial investment and the large-scale use and implementation of new green energy technologies and eco-innovation varies considerably across the European Union. On the one hand, in Norway, for example, almost all of the energy generated comes from renewable energy sources. On the other hand, in Poland, since the beginning of the systemic and economic transformation, since 1989, for more than 3 decades financial subsidies were provided from the state's public finance system mainly to the fossil fuel extraction sector and the energy sector based on the combustion of these fuels. As a result, today in Poland, almost 3/4 of the electricity and even more of the thermal energy is still generated from dirty combustion energy based mainly on burning hard coal and lignite. In addition, hard coal mining in Poland within the framework of deep, highly methane mines, especially deep seams for many years is no longer profitable and generates additional costs for the state's public finances. It should be added that 90 percent of coal burned in the European Union to heat homes, apartments, etc. is the share of Poland alone against the background of the aforementioned European Union. And, for example, in Germany, which has a much more developed renewable and emission-free energy sector, for many years housing cooperatives have been generating thermal energy to heat apartments, entire housing estates from renewable energy sources, such as using heat pumps powered by electricity generated from photovoltaic panels. So Poland has a lot of work to do in terms of green energy transition. Unfortunately, the plan to build the first nuclear power plant is once again being postponed by the next government in Poland to an undefined and distant future.
I described the key aspects of a closed-loop economy, including a green, sustainable economy, in my article:

Answer
In the last week in Poland (and other countries of the region) there had been Dunkelflaute. Less than 1% of electricity was generated from PV, wind was generating ~0.3%, water less than 1% (though with water it's normal, as Poland does not have big hydro potential). The rest had to be generated from fossil fuels.
Even though it wasn't that cold (merely first half of November) with daily average temperature staying technically speaking above zero, already there had been declared minor emergency for power grid and a few major companies were ordered to curb their consumption in the afternoon of the 2024-11-06.
It really does not seem as if we were even anywhere near being able to balance the grid with renewables. If we had fewer fossil fuel plants ready, that would end up with brownout. Do you expect that we (or nearby EU members that would piggyback us) would build enough nuclear or energy storage in incoming 2 decades to cover full energy energy requirements on such days? What is your position on risk of... social instability in case of green transformation would start causing brownouts?

Answer
Ensure sure that the material for which you are changing the properties is the one assigned to the structure being analyzed.
And just to add: For a linear static analysis, Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio are the two material data that will likely influence the "Total Deformation". So, you should probably just limit your variations to those.

Why is it that still in some countries the development of dirty combustion energy is supported instead of developing clean, emission-free renewable energy and the process of green transformation of the economy is little implemented and is slowed down?
Why are issues of climate protection, biosphere protection, biodiversity of natural ecosystems still ignored in some countries and the development of dirty combustion energy based mainly on the generation of energy from the combustion of coal, lignite, oil mazut, fuel oil, wood, etc., is supported instead of developing clean, emission-free renewable energy based on wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, hydroelectric, hydrogen or possibly nuclear energy? Why are pro-climate, pro-environmental policies still being ignored in some parts of the world, sustainable development goals are not being followed, the future of the climate, the biosphere, the planet's biodiversity and the next generations of people are being ignored? Why is a short-sighted robbery unsustainable economy still being used instead of a green, sustainable closed-loop economy? Why do politicians continue to ignore the needs of citizens, voters and fail to implement real pro-social economic policies?
Only about 13.5 percent of renewable energy in 2023 was generated from windmills in Poland. This is the largest share of all types of renewable energy sources in Poland. If the government of the so-called “united right”, i.e. the government composed mainly of right-wing PIS political options, which was functioning in Poland in 2015-2023, had not blocked the development of onshore energy in Poland in 2016, this share could now be several times higher, energy prices much lower, the security and energy independence of the Polish energy sector would have stood at a much higher level. But the PIS government, which was acting at the time, preferred to support the development of dirty coal power. Paradoxically, since 2016, the production of electricity from wind or solar was already perceptibly cheaper compared to the production of energy generated by burning fossil fuels, including, for example, coal and lignite. And in the following years this trend steadily deepened. In this way, the PIS government acted not only anti-economically but also anti-climatically, anti-environmentally and anti-socially. Besides, this kind of energy policy contradicts the European Union's climate and environmental policy, the EU's New Green Deal. Unfortunately, not much has changed on this issue since 2023. The new political option, which won the parliamentary elections on 15.10.2023 in large part thanks to the slogans applied during the election campaign of significantly increasing the scale of implementation of the processes of green transformation of the economy, including the protection of nature, climate and biodiversity of natural ecosystems, changing the robbery pseudo-management of forests to sustainable pro-environmental forest management, increasing the scale of afforestation, reducing the robbery felling of trees and old-growth forests, increasing the areas of strict protection of natural biodiverse ecosystems, etc. unfortunately, still does not implement the election promises made to citizens, voters. The development of renewable energy sources will probably accelerate in the coming years in connection with the relatively highest compared to renewable energy and rising prices of energy produced from burning coal, and in connection with the fact that additional financial subsidies from the European Union within the framework of the National Reconstruction Plan are finally appearing in Poland, which are mainly intended according to the guidelines of the European Union for the continuation of green energy transformation processes implemented in accordance with the EU Green Deal. Thanks to this, the process of green energy transformation which is one of the key segments of the process of green transformation of the economy is being implemented at all although on a relatively small scale, but at some pace.
I am conducting research on this issue. I have included the conclusions of my research in the following article:

In my opinion, there is still much room for improvement in the financing of green investment projects that are key components of the green transformation of the economy. There are still underdeveloped programs for green financing of pro-climate and pro-environmental investment projects from the state's public finance system. There is also much room for improvement in the issue of green financing carried out by commercially operating business entities, including commercial banks providing green loans. It happens that commercial banks, presenting their green financing in advertising campaigns, mainly practice greenwashing, while the real activity of lending pro-climate and pro-environmental economic projects is a small part of the total lending activity carried out.

What is the impact of high energy prices on industrial production costs and, consequently, also on the competitiveness of domestic industrial production vis-à-vis analogous industries operating in other countries?
In recent years, energy prices in Poland have been rising rapidly, which has been mainly due to the dominance of dirty combustion energy in the energy mix of energy sources, low expenditures on the modernization of the infrastructure of energy transmission networks and the development of renewable and emission-free energy sources, and the still ongoing practice of allocating large financial subsidies from the state's public finance system to maintain economically unviable deep coal mines and combustion energy installations. When energy prices are high, one of the negative consequences of this is higher costs for industrial production and for offering services. Thus, by high energy prices, industries in a certain country become less competitive with industries in other countries. For example, high energy prices in Poland, which are caused by the archaic structure of energy sources mainly based on dirty combustion energy, cause a decrease in the competitiveness of Polish industry in relation to the industry of the US and China, where green, pro-climate and pro-environmental investments in energy and other sectors of the economy are being developed on a large scale. In this economic race for the smooth implementation of the green transformation of energy and other sectors of the economy, those countries that will be the first and on the largest scale to implement the process of green transformation of the economy will win, then thanks to this the price of energy in these countries will quickly fall, industries will become more competitive in terms of production and cost, and in these countries industry will develop to the greatest extent and these countries will win economically in the 21st century. If the process of green transformation of energy and other sectors of the economy is not significantly accelerated in the next few years, the industry in Poland will become even more uncompetitive with the industry of China, the US and other countries in the future. The result will be a slowdown in the country's economic development and, in the next few years, perhaps a serious economic, financial and debt crisis in the state's public finance system. However, if the economic policy in Poland is appropriately modified and the issue of green energy transformation is seriously considered in it, then in the perspective of the next few years there should be a significant decline in energy prices, industrial production costs will fall and domestic industrial production will become more competitive, which will be an important element of effective economic development.
The key issues of the problematic sources of Poland's exceptionally deep energy cross in 2022 are described in my co-authored article below:

Answer
According to Francesco Chiacchio, Roberto A. De Santis, Vanessa Gunnella, and Laura Lebastard, high energy prices can significantly impact industrial production costs and the competitiveness of domestic industrial production in several ways:
  1. Increased Production Costs: Higher energy prices directly increase the cost of production, especially for energy-intensive industries such as manufacturing, chemicals, and metals. This can lead to higher overall production costs.
  2. Reduced Competitiveness: As production costs rise, domestic products may become more expensive than those produced in countries with lower energy costs. This can reduce the competitiveness of domestic industries in both local and international markets.
  3. Shift to Imports: Higher domestic production costs can lead to increased imports of energy-intensive goods from countries with lower energy prices. This substitution effect can further weaken domestic production.
  4. Profit Margins: Companies may face squeezed profit margins as they struggle to absorb higher energy costs without passing them on to consumers. This can impact their financial health and ability to invest in growth and innovation.
  5. Operational Adjustments: To cope with higher energy costs, companies might need to implement energy-saving measures, invest in more efficient technologies, or shift production to less energy-intensive processes. While these adjustments can be beneficial in the long run, they often require significant upfront investment.
  6. Economic Impact: On a broader scale, sustained high energy prices can slow economic growth as industries cut back on production and investment. This can lead to job losses and reduced economic activity.

Due to the shifting ocean currents, the planet could be thrown off balance, altering the angle of rotation, and even causing the axis to shift, plunging us into chaos. In reality, it doesn't take much energy to achieve this. Indeed, it is known that the magnetic north has shifted, and possibly with it, the geographic north. If this is the case, the risk of climate change is far greater than we ever anticipated.

Wind turbines extract a lot of energy, about 30-35%, that passes through.
Now they are building a lot of them, more and more powerful.
Change wind trajectory is easy, if a lot of obstacles is in its trajectory, it goes to upper layer
Stop wind rises A LOT temperatures, as happens in cities with tall buildings
Wind also decrease water temperature when passing over it. In Malaga now the sea water temperture in August reach 30ºC, that is more than 10º over previous years and wind do not refresh at night
And at last, wind distributes the temperature avoiding large differences
Relevant answer
Answer
"Firstly, I think you can disregard the effect of wind turbines on the atmospheric wind speed if you are not within the wind farm, or directly behind it (and at the same height as the rotor). I don't think that the wind speed will be much affected at the ground level, except for the influence of the wind turbine towers."
Have you calculated that a lot of terawatts-hour not affects locally?
Take in account that every megawatt of energy extracted from the wind will have a multiplier coefficient of at least 20x due the Carnot efficiency, so temperature differences will rise A LOT more than expected.
Hurricanes appears if there are more difference temperatures, as example if the wind is stopped due sea wind farms and wind does not refresh the water surface. https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/hurricanes.html

How can new technologies of artificial intelligence and Big Data Analytics help optimize the production and use of energy generated from different energy sources within the existing specific structure of the mix of energy sources in the national energy sector?
How can new technologies of artificial intelligence and Big Data Analytics help optimize the production and use of energy generated from different energy sources within the occurring specific structure of the mix of energy sources in the domestic energy sector and optimize investment processes for the construction of specific types of power plants, energy generating power plants, investments in the development of transmission networks, energy storage, etc.?
In recent days (end of May 2024) in the country where I operate, weather aura conditions have been favorable for the production of clean energy generated mainly through renewable and emission-free energy sources. Accordingly, it was reported that a record amount of clean, emission-free energy was generated in Poland on 27.5.2024 from renewable and emission-free energy sources, including mainly photovoltaics and wind. It's just a pity that much of this energy has gone to waste, as the dominant companies in the energy market have for many years ignored the need to invest in the development of transmission grids and storage facilities for energy from new photovoltaic and windmill installations put up on rooftops by prosumer citizens. Paradoxically, however, the share of renewable and zero-emission energy in the overall energy mix in Poland is still relatively low, amounting to only about 1/4 of the energy source mix, as a result of years of subsidizing from the state's public finance system the development of dirty combustion energy based on the generation of energy from the combustion of fossil fuels while blocking and restricting the development of RES. Paradoxically, when the development of onshore wind energy was blocked in Poland in 2016, it was already clear from a number of analyses and studies conducted in various research centers operating in different parts of the world that since the middle of the 2nd decade of the 21st century, clearly the cheapest energy is wind and solar energy, and the most expensive energy production is dirty combustion energy based on burning coal and lignite. Since the middle of the 2nd decade of the 21st century, the aforementioned gap between steadily, year by year cheap photovoltaic technology and other energy eco-technologies, cheap RES energy production and more expensive energy produced from burning fossil fuels has been growing steadily. This issue is particularly important because there may be further energy crises in the future, such as those that occurred in the 1970s and in 2022. The demand for electricity production will also grow in the future. Paradoxically, the ongoing process of global warming will also contribute to an increase in energy demand in the future. The various types of projects, processes and activities that are being launched to reduce the scale of the negative effects of the progressive global warming process, such as the production and use of refrigeration equipment, equipment for obtaining clean water in the situation of increasingly frequent periods of drought, desalination of seawater, in addition to the development of electromobility, etc., will consume large amounts of additional energy, which is already starting to run out at times. In the context of these aggravating problems, there is a growing importance of systems and instruments to help and/or facilitate the management of energy production and use, taking into account the optimization of production from specific, different types of energy sources, under conditions of changing weather and climatic conditions and the existing structure of different energy sources, including renewable and non-renewable, sustainable and combustion, emission-free and emission-free energy, etc., within a specific, occurring mix of energy sources in the country. The various different energy sources are significantly different in terms of various determinants, which include varying levels of variability in energy production caused by objective external factors, e.g. changes in weather conditions, significant variation in the necessary financial outlays that are incurred in the investment processes for the construction of a particular type of power plant or electric and/or thermal power plant, variation in the period of implementation of investment projects for the construction of power plants generating energy within the framework of renewable or non-renewable energy sources, local and national natural and geological conditions conditioning the possibility of building a particular type of power plant, variation in the economic and technological development of the country, equipment of the financial system with financial capital that can be applied to support the development of investments in the energy sector, etc. In view of the above, new ICT and Industry 4.0/5.0 information technologies, including but not limited to generative artificial intelligence and Big Data Analytics technologies, may prove helpful in optimizing energy production under different types of energy sources and optimizing the investment processes carried out within the power sector. The research shows that new technologies of artificial intelligence and Big Data Analytics can help optimize the production and use of energy generated from various energy sources within the existing specific structure of the mix of energy sources in the national energy sector, as well as optimize investment processes for the construction of specific types of power plants, energy-generating power plants, investments in the development of transmission networks, energy storage, etc. The key issue, therefore, will be how the integrated information systems built from modules equipped with the aforementioned new technologies will be designed and built so that the processes of optimizing the level of energy production from certain different sources operating within the national energy source mix; optimizing energy transmission, consumption and storage; and optimizing the investment processes in which various investment projects for the construction of power plants and energy-generating power plants within different types of energy sources are implemented simultaneously.

One of the many areas of generative artificial intelligence applications that are already developing and will develop in the future concerns the issue of improving the management of systems for optimizing the efficient, cost-effective use of existing and developing energy sources as part of an energy mix that will include a large share of renewable and carbon-free energy sources. Through the use of new Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies, including AI technologies, the scale of optimizing the use of energy from various energy sources should increase, and there should be an increase in the scale of energy savings and energy security. In this regard, new technologies, including generative AI technologies, should help in the smooth and effective implementation of the plan to carry out the green transformation of the energy sector and also in terms of other sectors of the economy and so the aforementioned new technologies should help in the smooth implementation of the green transformation of the economy. Thanks to the efficiently carried out process of green transformation of the economy, the scale of greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants emitted into the environment is reduced, the scale of protection of the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems is increased.

Prosumers of electricity, i.e. citizens and companies that, for example, install photovoltaic panels on their homes, property buildings, company office buildings, on the one hand, are a kind of small energy producers and consumers. Typically, large energy companies, through political lobbying, have established an obligation to connect prosumer mini-generators that produce energy from specific renewable and/or zero-emission energy sources to transmission grids operated by large, dominant energy companies, often with monopolistic practices. The obvious point is that excess energy produced by prosumers, once discharged into transmission grids managed by large power companies, can be used by other energy consumers. However, when large power companies are treated as second-class entities in the financial settlement of the energy produced by prosumers and discharged into publicly available transmission networks, when in the aforementioned settlement they do not receive the financial equivalent of the energy produced at the same rates that are applied to them when they buy energy from large power companies, it may be in the interest of prosumers who are treated unfairly in this way to become independent of these large, dominant power companies. In addition, the problem is exacerbated by the frequent situations in which large, dominant companies in the energy sector, energy corporations are very slow to implement, or do not implement at all, green energy transition processes and continue to generate energy from burning fossil fuels. Thus, in spite of the constantly cheap photovoltaic and other renewable energy technologies, in spite of the much cheaper production of energy from RES against conventional combustion energy, the processes of green energy transformation are still progressing too slowly, greenhouse gas emissions are still high and the process of global warming is still progressing rapidly. The solution to the above problem would be the introduction of legal regulations that would allow energy prosumers to function in a kind of closed circuit independently of the influence of large energy corporations with possible simultaneous connection to electricity transmission networks managed by the aforementioned large energy corporations that dominate the energy sector. The aforementioned connection to the transmission networks of prosumer RES installations would provide the possibility of draining the periodically generated surplus energy, so that there would be an opportunity to transfer this energy to other energy consumers who do not have their own RES installations and/or who, for specific reasons, have a periodic energy deficit. Besides, this type of solution could significantly generate a decrease in energy prices on the one hand and increase the level of national energy independence and energy security on the other. In a situation where a significant proportion of energy prosumers, i.e., citizens and companies operating in various energy sectors and industries, would have their own energy sources operating under different types of renewable and zero-emission energy sources, a large diversity in the mix of different energy sources would also, on the one hand, be an important factor in energy security. On the other hand, thanks to this solution, the process of green transformation could, in real terms, significantly accelerate.
For example, in Poland in recent years, green energy based on photovoltaics is mainly developed by citizens, prosumers, individual customers, who are at the mercy of large, dominant energy companies managing transmission networks. The travesty of this solution is that these large energy companies have lobbied for the introduction of regulations according to which prosumer photovoltaic installations and other mini RES power plants must be connected to the aforementioned power transmission grids, while these grids are mostly built many years ago on the basis of already outdated technologies and are unable to accept surplus energy from prosumers when the sun suddenly sets and the wind blows a little stronger than usual. Recently, there have also been situations in which the authorities set up for this purpose have slowed down the processes of issuing approvals for new connections to the transmission grid of successively created by prosumers photovoltaic and/or other mini RES power plants. The paradox of the situation that has arisen is also that many entrepreneurs in various industries and sectors of the economy are interested in becoming energy prosumers in order to build photovoltaic and/or wind energy-based power plants near their company or enterprise, but the problems mentioned above are the reason why still few entrepreneurs choose to do so. Another paradox is that financial subsidies are available, including grants from the National Recovery Plan for the development of prosumer RES power plants, but the aforementioned problems are a key factor inhibiting the possibility of accelerating the realization of the green energy transition, in which prosumer RES-based power plants could account for a large share. From surveys conducted among entrepreneurs running their companies and/or businesses in various sectors and industries of the economy, that they would be willing to become prosumers of energy generated from their own RES power plants, and would thus be eager to change their business by greening it, by increasing the scale of application of sustainable development goals, by adding the idea of green business to the company's mission, as it is known that the pro-climate, pro-environmental, pro-environmental awareness of citizens, i.e. customers of their product and/or service offerings, is constantly growing.

Enabling the development of distributed prosumer energy is one of the important elements for the smooth implementation of the green transformation of the energy sector. This issue is particularly important when the energy sector is dominated by a maximum of a few large energy companies that dominate the entire market, there is a low level of competition and there are monopolistic practices by these large operators, including restricting and/or blocking the development of small energy power plants and the development of distributed prosumer energy.

How to fill the growing gap in energy production in a situation where combustion energy dominates, RES are little developed and nuclear energy is still not developed?
With what to fill the growing gap of lack of energy production in a situation where expensive energy sources based on combustion of fossil fuels still prevail, the price of energy produced from RES is steadily falling and the chaotic and short-sighted energy policy does not take into account the construction of nuclear power plants or plans to build the first nuclear power plants only in 2 decades time?
Due to economic development, including the development of energy-intensive industries and services, the demand for electricity is gradually increasing.
In addition, the development of electromobility is becoming an important factor in the growth of electricity demand. With the developing economy becoming a knowledge-based economy, an information economy, an economy in which the scale of implementation of new ICT, Industry 4.0/5.0, including the development of data centers using Big Data Analytics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Blockchain, etc. is growing rapidly, then in addition, the demand for energy is also growing rapidly. Another factor that is already increasing and will continue to increase the demand for electricity in the future is the process of ongoing global warming resulting in increased use of cooling equipment. On the other hand, the pace of energy development, including, first and foremost, energy that meets the guidelines of climate policy based on renewable and emission-free energy sources is not sufficient.
As a result, the energy deficit gap is growing every year, and will unfortunately continue to grow in the coming years unless appropriate reforms are undertaken and the green transformation processes of the energy sector are accelerated. In addition, the importance of this issue is particularly high in countries where types of energy sources such as nuclear power are underdeveloped or not developed at all is particularly important. Nuclear power is the type of energy sources that can act as an intermediate stage in the process of green transformation of the economy involving the replacement of conventional energy sources based on the combustion of fossil fuels with fully emission-free, climate and environmentally clean energy sources. In addition, countries where, for geographical, natural and geological reasons, it may be difficult to develop certain types of renewable energy such as limited opportunities for the construction of hydroelectric power plants due to the small scale of diversity in terms of terrain, few rivers and certain geological reasons, have a difficult situation in the implementation of the process of green transformation of the economy. A significant further factor not conducive to reducing the scale of the growing energy deficit gap may be the unreliable, short-sighted, haphazard, non-strategic energy, climate and environmental policies, in which there are even situations of limiting and/or blocking the development of certain types of renewable and carbon-free energy sources. An example is the blocking of the development of onshore wind energy in Poland in 2016 through the introduction of Law 10h, resulting in a strong increase in coal imports and a significant slowdown in the green energy transition. The result is that Poland's energy production is still significantly dominated by conventional power generation based on the combustion of fossil fuels, mainly coal and lignite, which accounts for more than 70 percent of Poland's total energy production. Paradoxically, even this relatively small share of RES power generation can, under favorable natural and climatic conditions, provide more than the usual amount of energy, much of which is wasted because it is not accepted by the dominant power industry, including government-controlled energy companies functioning as state-owned companies. The argument that is given by these large power companies to this anachronistic, irrational situation is the years-long lack of investment in the development of electricity transmission networks. Paradoxically, over the past 3 decades of time, most of the funds coming from the state's public finance system have been allocated to subsidizing unprofitable coal and lignite mines and maintaining the power plants where the aforementioned coal is burned.
The reason that in the past the development of renewable and emission-free sources of energy has been limited and even blocked is that nowadays there are more and more absurd situations of sorts, where during sunny and windy weather from prosumers, photovoltaic panels and household wind turbines installed by citizens on the roof of their homes, there is an above-average increase in electricity production, but all the energy generated is not used by energy companies due to the lack of adequately developed infrastructure of transmission networks and the lack of established energy storage facilities, batteries, a significant part of the energy generated from RES goes to waste, and in other months it happens to buy energy from other countries, when there is a periodic shortage of energy due to the growing demand for energy. The paradox and economic irrationality of this situation also lies in the fact that energy prices are steadily rising, and the cheapest sources of energy generated from wind and solar power are too slowly being developed.
As a result, energy policy, and also climate and environmental policy, in the country where I operate is being conducted chaotically, strategically and short-sightedly. The guidelines of the European Union's Green Deal are largely ignored, and this is despite the available financial subsidies from the European Union, which should be allocated to the green transformation of the energy sector. In addition, subsidies for combustion power generation based mainly on coal and lignite continue to dominate, which translates into high energy prices, poor air quality and the postponement of the implementation of the plan to build a sustainable, green, zero-emission closed-loop economy, an essential element of which is to build a zero-emission power industry based on RES.
In addition, there is almost no research, analysis and implementation work on new innovative energy technologies such as those based on hydrogen power technology, cold fusion technology, etc.

Respected sir;
Integrated water management systems combining hydraulic and porous media technologies can significantly enhance the efficiency of greywater recycling in residential buildings. Hydraulic systems efficiently transport and distribute greywater through networks of pipes, ensuring its smooth flow and proper allocation for recycling purposes. Porous media technologies, such as biofilters and sand filters, play a crucial role in purifying greywater by removing contaminants through physical, chemical, and biological processes. These media provide extensive surface areas for microbial growth, which degrades organic matter and pollutants. By integrating these technologies, residential buildings can effectively treat and reuse greywater for non-potable purposes like irrigation, toilet flushing, and landscaping, reducing fresh water demand, lowering utility costs, and promoting sustainable water use practices.

Can socially run citizen-led independent local energy cooperatives running small renewable energy power plants in wind, solar, hydro, geothermal etc. significantly increase energy security?
Monopolistically operating large energy companies, including mainly government-controlled state-owned companies, apply pricing policies that are not conducive to the development of renewable energy sources in the form of small household power plants set up by citizens, who would thus become prosumers of electricity. This point is also confirmed by the pricing policy applied by these large energy companies, which are government-controlled SOEs in the context of the 2022 energy crisis. In addition, it has happened over the past few years that in areas where such power plants have been set up as part of solar or wind power, they have produced so much electricity in situations of high sunshine or strong winds that the technologically outdated and underinvested transmission power grids have not been able to absorb this electricity produced by prosumer citizens. This is a kind of paradoxical and almost surreal situation in a country facing a serious energy crisis in 2022 due to the still existing archaic energy model based 3/4 on the production of electricity and even more on thermal energy from burning coal and lignite. It is therefore necessary to develop independent, local cooperatives running small renewable energy power plants, i.e. independent of large energy companies, including government-controlled state-owned companies with monopolistic pricing policies, limiting the development of renewable energy sources by citizens and increasingly portraying themselves in the media in advertising and umbrella campaigns as green, generating energy mainly from renewable energy sources which is at variance with the facts, so is an example of greenwashing. In view of the above, the development of local cooperatives operating small renewable energy power plants can significantly reduce the scale of monopolistic participation of large energy companies in the entire energy sector and thus can significantly increase the energy security of citizens and the security of the national energy sector.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

Answer
Hi, i think that:
-Partial scaling of the power converter, for example, involves sizing it for conditions that are less than the absolute maximum. This could be based on statistical analysis of wind patterns, historical data, and other factors.
-It allows for cost savings while still meeting the necessary performance requirements, as components are not oversized for events that might occur rarely.
But in full scaling, all components, including the power converter, are fully scaled, they are designed to handle the maximum power fluctuations, grid disturbances, and other extreme conditions, but might lead to higher costs.

As part of the green transformation of maritime transport, should maritime sailing transport be restored due to the high carbon intensity of large transport ships?
100 large internal combustion transport ships emit as much CO2 as a million internal combustion cars. Transport ships are already being built that are equipped with alternative, lower- or zero-emission energy sources and modern sails, in addition to high-emission internal combustion power. Unfortunately, power supply based solely or mainly on such emission-free energy sources such as solar energy based on installed photovoltaic panels is currently used only on small ships, catamarans, boats, etc. On large transport ships, both passenger and cargo ships, this type of power supply can be a supplementary power supply to provide the ship with electricity used in some of the on-board equipment. Besides, technologies are being developed to power transport ships with low-carbon biofuels, nuclear or hydrogen power. However, regardless of the type of power supply used to generate electricity and/or energy to power the engines that drive the ship's turbines, it is almost always also possible to use modern sailing structures, which will be an additional source of energy based on the most traditional source of energy that enables the movement of sea vessels, which is wind energy. In addition, modern sails can also be covered with photovoltaic panels, so they can also significantly increase the area on which the said panels are installed and thus will also be a source of electricity.

Answer
According to technologyreview.com and theicct.org, maritime shipping significantly contributes to global carbon emissions, accounting for about 3% of the total. If it were a country, this sector would be the sixth-largest carbon emitter, just behind Japan. Without additional policy action, shipping’s greenhouse gas emissions are expected to grow 16% from 2018 to 2030 and 50% by 2050.
Restoring maritime sailing transport could be one way to reduce these emissions, but it’s not as simple as it might seem. Modern shipping is a complex, globalized industry that moves large volumes of goods quickly and efficiently. Sailing ships, while they have a lower carbon footprint, are slower and can carry less cargo. They also require more manpower and expertise to operate.
A more practical solution might be to improve the efficiency of existing ships and develop new technologies and fuels that can reduce their carbon footprint. For example, the world’s largest container shipping company, Maersk, has set a target to reduce carbon emissions by 60% by 2030 and to be carbon neutral by 2050. The Getting to Zero Coalition, an alliance of 150 companies, is pushing for developing and deploying zero-emissions vessels by 2030.
In addition, regulatory measures can also play a role. For instance, starting from January 2024, the EU’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) will be extended to cover CO2 emissions from all large ships (of 5,000 gross tonnage and above) entering EU ports, regardless of the flag they fly.
So, while restoring maritime sailing transport could be part of the solution, it’s likely to be one piece of a much larger puzzle. The key will be finding a balance that allows for efficient global trade while minimizing environmental impact.

While practicing the load cases in the publication "Design Load Basis for Offshore Wind Turbines - DT Wind Energy Report No. E-0133", a question came to me when
I tried to simulate the DLC15 regarding the EWS for offshore wind turbines. To my understanding, the EWS wind condition is a transient scenario describing the wind shear suddenly changing from a normal wind profile (NWP) to a nose-like profile and then going back. Why is the EWS condition given by Equations (26) and (27) IEC 61400-1? In IEC 61400-1, the NWP is assumed to have a power index of 0.2; however, the NWP for the offshore wind turbines should be 0.14. The value 0.2 should be for onshore turbines. Please correct me if I misunderstand the description of the DLC15 case.
Relevant answer
Answer
The assumption of a power index of 0.2 for offshore turbines is based on empirical observations and analysis of wind turbine performance data. This assumption is commonly used in the industry and is known as the "EWS condition," which stands for Extreme Wind Shear condition.
Wind shear refers to the change in wind speed and/or direction with respect to height. In the case of offshore wind turbines, the wind shear is often more pronounced compared to onshore sites due to various factors such as the roughness of the water surface, the presence of nearby structures (e.g., offshore platforms), and the atmospheric stability over the sea.
The power index is a parameter that quantifies the sensitivity of the wind turbine power output to changes in wind speed. It describes how the power output of a wind turbine increases with increasing wind speed. Empirical studies have shown that the power index tends to be lower for offshore turbines compared to onshore turbines.
A power index of 0.2 implies that the power output of an offshore wind turbine increases with the cube of the wind speed. This is a conservative assumption that takes into account the higher wind shear and the resulting larger variations in wind speed experienced by offshore turbines. By assuming a lower power index, the design of offshore wind turbines can account for the potential extreme wind conditions and ensure the structural integrity and operational safety of the turbines.
It's important to note that the specific value of the power index may vary depending on the offshore site and the turbine design. Site-specific data and wind resource assessments are typically conducted to determine the appropriate values for the power index and other design parameters for a particular offshore wind farm project.

I really wanted to combine wind energy and IA in one thesis but I'm kind of stuck right now. The region of Ica as a whole (Ocucaje city is part of the region of Ica) already has a wind potential estimation made by the government in 2016. So I'm unsure if I'm repeating the same thing as the government did or not, should I shape my title differently or add any other thing? I would appreciate any comments. Have a good day
Relevant answer
Answer
Given that the government has already made a wind potential estimation for the region of Ica, you may want to consider focusing on a more specific area within Ocucaje, or looking at a different aspect of wind energy production that hasn't been fully explored yet. For example, you could examine the optimal placement of wind turbines in the district of Ocucaje using computational intelligence techniques, or investigate the feasibility of using wind energy to power a specific industry or application in the area.
Another option could be to focus on the application of computational intelligence tools to optimize the performance of existing wind turbines in the region, which could be a valuable contribution to the field. This could involve developing a machine learning model to predict wind speed and direction, and using this information to adjust the pitch of the turbine blades for optimal energy production.

In many countries, before the entire energy sector is based on renewable energy sources, hydrogen and/or natural gas-based energy, which is several times less carbon-intensive than coal, lignite and, in some countries, fuel oil, i.e. derivatives of oil refining, are being developed as an interim step in addition to fully clean, emission-free, climate-neutral renewable energy sources. Because of the nuclear power plant accidents that occurred at Chernobyl, Fukushima, etc., some countries decided to decommission their nuclear power plants. Opinions are divided on this issue, as current nuclear energy technologies are much safer than those used in the plants that previously failed. In addition, the energy produced by nuclear power plants is emission-free compared to emissions from, for example, gas combustion. Over the next few decades, these nuclear and gas-based intermediate steps will be replaced by emission-free, fully climate-neutral and more energy-efficient energy based on green hydrogen and nuclear fusion. The production of so-called green hydrogen will be realised using electricity generated from renewable energy sources. However, the greatest challenges in terms of carrying out a green transformation of the energy sector are to be met in countries such as Poland, which still has a technologically backward, archaic system of energy generation based 3/4 on burning hard coal and lignite. This kind of situation of energy development backwardness is the result of deliberately slowing down the development of renewable and emission-free energy in the last 3 decades, and especially in the last 8 years, i.e. the period in which the PIS government in coalition with other political options supporting this government mainly supported the development of dirty combustion energy, increased the import of fossil fuels, slowed down the development of wind energy in 2016, slowed down the development of biofuel-based energy, and from April 2022 limited the development of solar energy. This is very strange in view of the European Union's strategic environmental and climate policy, indicating the need to carry out a green energy transition as quickly as possible, of which Poland is, after all, a part and benefits from financial subsidies from the European Union for the development of renewable energy sources. At present, in the context of the prospect of a global climate catastrophe, accelerating global warming and a still high level of greenhouse gas emissions, energy generation based mainly on the combustion of fossil fuels is being described as archaic, technologically and mentally outdated, incompatible with achieving the objectives of sustainable development, incompatible with pro-environmental and climate policy, generates poor air quality, is socially unethical and so on. The paradox is that in recent years, the development of renewable and zero-emission energy has been accelerated in many countries, while in Poland this development has been deliberately slowed down by the government. In many countries, in the context of the overall energy mix, renewable energy is already the dominant source of energy vis-à-vis combustion energy sources. In some countries, such as Scandinavia, over 90% of energy is already generated from renewable sources. Furthermore, not only in Europe, but also on other continents, including Africa, there are already countries where the majority of energy is produced from renewable sources. Some countries, such as Canada for example, have planned to fully phase out coal-based power generation by 2030 at the latest, whereas in Poland, despite the existing climatic, technological and financial possibilities, etc., the PIS government has planned to continue coal-based power generation until the middle of the 21st century, ignoring the results of scientific research concerning forecasts of a continuation of the increasingly rapid process of global warming and an increase in the scale of climatic disasters that will occur in the coming decades. Since it is not, therefore, a genuinely pro-environmental and pro-climate energy and economic policy, neither is it a pro-social policy of the PIS government in Poland. On the other hand, technological progress in the field of green technologies and energy eco-innovations is continually being made. New generation photovoltaic technologies and other renewable and emission-free energy solutions are becoming cheaper every year. Mini-power plants, backyard mini-generators producing energy from the sun, wind and, under favourable geographical and geological conditions, also from water and geothermal energy, are becoming increasingly available. However, in a situation where the return to government-controlled large state-owned energy companies, and the pursuit of an economic policy reminiscent of centralised, post-communist models of economic management, ignores the prosumer potential for the development of zero-emission mini power plants by citizens who could develop clean energy much more effectively and efficiently, the whole process of green transformation of the energy sector is proceeding much more slowly than it could. Returning to the issue of the successful development of renewable and zero-emission energy sources in many countries, the question arises as to what path towards climate neutrality in the energy sector has been successfully pursued in countries where the majority of energy is already produced from clean, zero-emission energy, and what path towards climate neutrality in the energy sector should be pursued in countries where a significant proportion of electricity and/or heat is still produced from dirty combustion energy? Arguably, many different factors, regional geographic, geological, climatic, environmental, civilisational, economic, social, etc. considerations need to be taken into account in order to define the right path towards climate neutrality of the energy sector in each country.
To the above, it should be added that on 18 April 2023, in order to accelerate the process of pro-environmental, pro-climate, green transformation of the economy, including the acceleration of the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, slowing down the processes of global warming, the European Parliament voted on the key legal acts of the Fit For 55 package. The European Parliament adopted the reform of the EU system of trading in greenhouse gas emission allowances, the introduction of the CBAM mechanism and the creation of the Social Climate Fund. The PIS government in Poland is constantly criticising the climate and environmental policy of the European Union, contrary to the expectations of the citizens and with some vague political aims in mind in the controlled meanstream media in Poland. Thanks to the technological advances that have already been made in green energy technologies and eco-innovation, electricity generation from renewable and emission-free energy sources is already the cheapest, much cheaper than energy generation from the dirty energy of burning fossil fuels.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What are the different alternative pathways to effectively achieve full climate neutrality of the energy sector, including pathways that take into account intermediate steps of the green transformation process of the energy sector that is being implemented or planned to be implemented, i.e. the process of achieving zero-carbon energy and the economy as a whole, including intermediate steps based on the temporal development of, inter alia, nuclear and/or natural gas combustion energy and/or ...? What are the key differentiating factors and determinants responsible for the choice of the identified different alternative pathways towards climate neutrality in the energy sector?

Relevant answer
Answer
Based on your final statement it appears that you are already monitoring the power to your sensors and instrumentation. However, a simple amp-meter on the input to the electronics package would work.
The best way to reduce the power consumption is to first eliminate any sensor, and it's related instrumentation, that is not strictly required for your project. The next step would be to evaluate the sensors to determine if they are the most energy efficient type available. Finally, analyze your instrumentation to eliminate any redundancy. For example, if one sensor has a power supply of 5 watts but only requires 3 watts to operate and a second sensor has a power supply of 7 watts but only requires 4 watts to operate. You may be able to eliminate the first power supply and use the second to power both. This reduces the overall power consumption because a power supply rated at 5 watts will actually consume 6 or 7 watts due to internal resistances and parasitic losses in transformers.

What eco-innovations and green energy technologies can be developed and implemented to help build backyard power plants and mini-generation plants that can be built quickly within the framework of renewable energy sources and thus more smoothly survive the developing energy crisis?
With much of the energy industry operating on the basis of burning fossil fuels, accelerating the development of renewable energy sources may help the economy to get through the currently developing energy crisis. Unfortunately, it will take time to build large-scale power plants such as nuclear power plants or hydrogen production companies for the development of hydrogen energy. In contrast, the energy crisis is already developing. In addition, in order to increase the diversification of energy sources and realise an environmentally and climate-friendly transformation of the energy sector, it is necessary to develop various renewable and emission-free energy sources. In this way, the independence of the national energy system can be increased and the level of energy security enhanced. Countries where the development of renewable and zero-carbon energy sources was neglected in previous years are now facing more economic problems due to the developing energy crisis. An example of this type of country is the one in which I operate, i.e. a country in which three quarters of energy is still produced on the basis of dirty, combustion-based energy, i.e. based on the combustion of fossil fuels, wood and other materials or organic waste. In view of the current energy crisis and the prospective climate crisis, the following question therefore arises: What kind of backyard power plants, mini-generation plants can be built quickly to become operational even before the next heating season? What eco-innovations and green energy technologies can help to build backyard power plants and mini-generation plants that can be built quickly within the framework of renewable energy sources and thus more smoothly survive the developing energy crisis?

You need of course a windmill with an electricity generator, a lithium battery and the required electronics to adapt the windmill to the battery ant the battery to the heater. For the heater, I would recommend to use a heat pump which, for a given amount of heat, uses less electricity than a resistor, since it "pumps" a part of the heat in a low temperature heat source (ar, lake, river, gound, waste heat). The performance of the heat pump strongly depends on the heating temperature and the temperature if its heat source. Therefore, the heating system should be conceived to use the lowest possible temperature (e.g. floor heating) and the heat source should be at the highest possible temperature.

We know wind turbines extract energy from the wind in order to produce electricity, the wind downstream of a turbine has a lower energy content than the wind upstream. Suppose, the understudy region is formed of two zones (Figure attached). In the dark red zone, the initial wind velocity is greater than that in the light red zone.
Bearing in mind the different initial wind velocities, How to determine the resulting wind speed, due to the wake effect of turbine 1 on turbine 2 (case 1) and of turbine 3 on turbine 4 (case 2)?
Scenario: The problem in case 2, perhaps the recovered wind speed at turbine 4 is greater than V0 =8 m/s (initial speed at light red region)
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Bassam:
At the first, and as you know that several different factors influence the potential wind resource in an area. The three main factors that influence power output are: wind speed, air density, and blade radius. Wind turbines need to be in areas with a lot of wind on a regular basis, which is more important than having occasional high winds.
# Wind speed:
Wind speed largely determines the amount of electricity generated by a turbine. Higher wind speeds generate more power because stronger winds allow the blades to rotate faster. Faster rotation translates to more mechanical power and more electrical power from the generator. The relationship between wind speed and power for a typical wind turbine is shown in Figure (a).
Turbines are designed to operate within a specific range of wind speeds. The limits of the range are known as the cut-in speed and cut-out speed. The cut-in speed is the point at which the wind turbine is able to generate power. Between the cut-in speed and the rated speed, where the maximum output is reached, the power output will increase cubically with wind speed. For example, if wind speed doubles, the power output will increase 8 times. This cubic relationship is what makes wind speed such an important factor for wind power. This cubic dependence does cut out at the rated wind speed. This leads to the relatively flat part of the curve in Figure (a), so the cubic dependence is during the speeds below 15 m/s (54 kph).
The cut-out speed is the point at which the turbine must be shut down to avoid damage to the equipment. The cut-in and cut-out speeds are related to the turbine design and size and are decided on prior to construction.
#Air Density:
Power output is related to the local air density, which is a function of altitude, pressure, and temperature. Dense air exerts more pressure on the rotors, which results in higher power output.
#Turbine Design:
Wind turbines are designed to maximize the rotor blade radius to maximize power output. Larger blades allow the turbine to capture more of the kinetic energy of the wind by moving more air through the rotors. However, larger blades require more space and higher wind speeds to operate. As a general rule, turbines are spaced out at four times the rotor diameter. This distance is necessary to avoid interference between turbines, which decreases the power output.
# There's a phenomenon, which referred to as the reduced wake effect:
During curtailment, less power is extracted from the wind and thus the wake effects are reduced. This leads to a wind speed increase at the downstream turbine and therefore to an apparent increase of its available power. This phenomenon is referred to as the reduced wake effect.
# So you could benefit from this valuable article about this topic:
"Analysis of the reduced wake effect for available wind power calculation during curtailment"
# Abstract:
With the increase of installed wind power capacity, the contribution of wind power curtailment to power balancing becomes more relevant. Determining the available power during curtailment at the wind farm level is not trivial, as curtailment changes the wake effects in a wind farm. Current best practice to estimate the available power is to sum the available power calculated by every wind turbine. However, during curtailment the changed local wind conditions at the wind turbines lead to inaccurate results at the wind farm level. This paper presents an algorithm to determine the available power of a wind farm during curtailment. Moreover, results of curtailment experiments are discussed that were performed on nearshore wind farm Westermeerwind to validate the algorithm. For the case where a single turbine is being curtailed, it is shown that the algorithm reduces the estimation error for the first downstream turbine significantly. Further development of the algorithm is required for accurate estimation of the second turbine. All further downstream turbines did not experience a change in wake conditions.
I hope it will be helpful ...
With my best regards ...
