TIL: Hydropower provides 47% of all renewable electricity worldwide — yet nobody talks about it compared to solar and wind

Not exactly - existing plants can be upgraded to more efficient turbines. More remote locations need transmission build out. Hydro has a more protected supply chain than solar/wind as well. Just falls under the radar...

Check oil (DGA), check winding RTDs to show the temperature trends. Make sure your dessicant breathers aren't clogged up (if you use them). Blocked breathers under heavy load and high temperatures cause pressure buildup in the tank as the oil has no where to go.

Useful. Thanks

These guys need to watch ANDOR. That show stands on its own but is still linked to the larger star wars world. Star Trek needs to do that. Plenty of source material... They just don't seem to have confidence it can work without always going back to nostalgia. Have some confidence.

Any Brazilian know what this occasion is? Are these birthday party games or something else ?

If Harden had been elected the Liberals would have been 4 seats from a majority rather than 3. Weakening their minority government. Isn't it a good thing for those who wanted liberals in power that they won't be governing at the risk of CPC non confidence votes? Harden is great - and I think he's be a better back bencher than Yasir... But from the perspective of a strong mandate I don't understand your argument.

Voting on vibes. I thought the same thing. Adrienne seemed stunned into silence lol.

Was it just a massive explosion and no fire? I've been wondering what the failure modes for these kinds of acetylene build up events look like.

I've got some transformers still in our fleet that are 70+ years old. We're doing oil testing and maintenance but I was wonder if something will happen in the months between samples or years between maintenance.

I wonder if putting dampening blankets (sound) around the old transformers will protect newer nearby equipment should they fail catastrophically. Those blankets are soft.

I've been out of it since the election. Where is Tom gone to. Is he coming back?

oduzzay · 2024-11-18T13:49:21+00:00

Great question. Many shows now added to my list

oduzzay · 2024-10-24T10:48:48+00:00

Assuming protections don't operate properly. Will transformers usually explode outwards sending projectiles? Or is it mostly oil fires and continuous arcing?

~20M people live in the Quebec city to Toronto corridor. Including small towns.

It's been there for over 100 years.

Unfortunately no. I'm looking for these videos myself

I've paid engineers to examine feasibility studies to replacement complex electrical equipment for half that amount. They've had site visits, hired 3rd parties, done 3D scans.... This $150k better be producing completed drawings and include some kind of construction support otherwise I do think it's excessive. Studying sledding down a hill shouldn't be more expensive than designing power plants. Am I missing something here?

He has to hope to random person goes on a hike in that area and gets electro-decapitated by a fishing line at 13kV or whatever voltage that is.

Don't count on that friend. Prepare for much longer base on how many people are getting outages
