11:55 you got those two backwards. Watt-hours is the measure of total work done. Watts are the *rate* at which work is being done. It is really unfortunate that we decided to use watt-hours instead of joules for energy. It makes it very confusing and people confuse watts and watt-hours all the time because they sound the same.

[@kindlin]

I went through tons of math and science education throughout college and still get power, energy, and their various units confused.

[@mrleenudler]

kWh is a useful units as it's really easy to calculate from watts or kilowatts. Also Joule is a really small unit, so you'd quickly need to brush up on those large prefixes, like peta- and exa-

[@kindlin]

@@mrleenudler A Joule and a kiloWatt-hour are linearly related, it's just 3.6*10^6 (kilo = 1000, hour = 3600 seconds). So, yes, that does insta bump you up a couple orders of magnitude, but we're now already pretty used to tera- and peta- for hard drives, and exa- is around the corner. If we used the Joule, people would acclimate quickly. And his point about watts and watt-hours being confusing is very much the case.

[@josepeixoto3384]

You are so right; same with Amperes and Amperes-hour; the first is electric CURRENT, the 2nd is ENERGY,when multiplied by the Volts, becoming Watts-Hour; The problem,yes,is that the names are so similar; kind of ...their and there...and they're...

[@mathiaspinto4197]

I understand that form energy anounces to deliver 1 MW and 150 MW per hour or 150 MW x h ; not the same as 150 h of working or MW/h (that doesn't exist) It's mean they can deliver 1 MW at maximum discharge rate for a quantity of energy of 150MWh as a day has 24 hours, they can deliver energy for 6.25 days because the flow rate is slow (not because they have lot of capacities) It's a cross product with same proportions : 150 -> 1 so 24 -> 6.25 (if mistakes pardon my "enghlish speaking / writing", I'm french)

Joe, keep in mind most solar installs are grid tie and don't work when the grid is down. You have to have additional interlock switches set up to prevent solar from back feeding the grid and possibly electrocuting line workers. If you want solar off grid, you need to manually disconnect from the grid, which may not be doable due to code regulation in your area.

[@lolbro8701]

well, hydrogen is easily one of the most dense energy media we know of, it slaps lithium ion out of the sky and in terms of large energy storage its unparraleled even now, no doubt with more research into storage and more infrastructure it will an extremely large use case, most noteably trucks, theoretically hydrogen can be compressed to the point the electrons form an ocean, increasing its density to 0.7kg/L at a density of 120MJ/kg vs lithium ions 0.3MJ/kg theres a reason just 5kg of poorly compressed hydrogen can easily rival BEVs with 1 tonne batteries in terms of range, the infrastructure isnt there but neither was gasoline infrastucture when ICE vehicles first came onto the scene. Im convinced anyone that puts down hydrogen has done essentially 0 research on the topic and forms their opinions around elon musks, HEV could very easily compete and outmatch BEVs in range, its a matter of refueling and use, theres not much more a HEV could do that a BEV cant, but when we get to trucks, a cross continent trip with a BEV would be one of the most inefficient things you could imagine, the sheer weight of the battery would a very significant part of the cargo not to mention the recharging "just set up battery swaps" then the system needs additional infrastructure, just like hydrogen. the base 2 components of hydrogen are water and electricity, and in the extremely likely abundant energy future, not using hydrogen for larger vehicles would be a joke, much like how using them for small EVs is a joke today. TLDR: hydrogen is a lot better than you realise and will almost certainly be the future for larger vehicles that operate outside of constant available electricity (planes, cargo ships, trucks) basically everything that makes the economy go round

Hey Joe, another part to consider for these battery videos is Micro grids, i work for an energy company and the plan now is to take the fringes of the network and disconnect them from the main grid to cut down on infrastructure and maintenance costs, so this would potentially service dozens of customers or more per micro grid. Large scale batteries like this will play a massive role in regional communities in the future.

[@SLLabsKamilion]

Makes sense; residential needs are generally very different than commercial or industrial. The most annoying thing about off-grid or grid-tie setups is the peak power for cooking if you want to avoid fossil fuel use entirely. That's where micro grids come in. The biggest problem I have right now is that 90-99% of the grid is dumb as a box of rocks and has no method of communicating past, current, or future loads to the grid, micro or regional. In fact, if done improperly, a lot of people would be screaming their heads off about privacy and government espionage of the populace. But that's the problem I think needs solving foremost: homes should be able to track their energy usage and present the grid with a historical and future projection. This sort of communication should be of an specification that is open and international. (So, like IEEE perhaps...?) But that circles back to the most age old problem in secure computing; authentication is required for security. Who holds the keys? And to what? There's low level communication links to secure, medium level tunnels to secure, and high level accounting to secure. Game development demonstrates why the client should never be trusted. Then we have the Vehicle to Grid infrastructure to deal with; with 50A AC feeds and 200A DC feeds; and all of them are predominantly one way and just as dumb as the grid about who is where and being billed how. For example; most car computers have no idea what their own license plate reads; but they know their VIN. Current chargers are dumb pilot signals purely for safety; all the billing side is done at a terminal charger-side, with a relay to disconnect the cable leading to the vehicle. Good luck getting a charger that supports a billing network on private property; chargepoint's contracts are out of reach unless it's a condo or apartment building. And even those aren't two-way yet, when the grid needs energy in an emergency, it has no way to ask the vehicles to discharge. And yet again; we have an authentication issue. Whom can request such a thing? We definitely want hospitals and other medical facilities to be able to do so, but I'd be rather angry to find my vehicle's battery being discharged to keep a refinery hot during an outage, preventing it from having to shut down for a week. That should be their storage problem, not mine. Sorry for the meandering reply; but you seemed like someone who might stand to benefit from the free ideas.

[@jamesowens7176]

Cool info on the future of microgrids! I can see where it makes a lot of sense! Decentralization is easier with wind, solar, and maybe even small modular fission reactors, so it follows that keeping hundreds of miles of transmission lines going might prove to be less efficient than multiple microgrids.

Yes, I can already see the utility companies investing untold millions into extra battery storage just in case something happens. Because we've seen how good they are at getting ready for unexpected events. Like the ones in Texas.

[@brownwhale5518]

What happened in Texas is not as simple as you seem to think or imply. Most Americans don’t save for or invest in the future so you think they’d financially support hardening of the grid? It’s easy to look back but don’t kid yourself, few want to pay for what ifs. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.

[@GalvayraPHX]

@@brownwhale5518 I agree that the Texas issue is more complicated, however - it is a fact that the utility companies did not take precautions against very low temperatures, which did contribute to the avalanche of issues. Mind you, I don't expect they could have justified the required expenses to their shareholders before this happened. This kind of pattern has been increasingly visible in USA - let things get worse and worse without doing anything, then when it all comes crashing down, everyone jumps on the bandwagon and starts pointing fingers at "guilty" parties. At the same time, yes the progressing consumerism culture does trend to not look at the future.

11:25 - It would be nice to mention at this point that coal powered plants _also_ failed during that epic blackout, because their cooling systems froze, and that wind turbines can bu bought with or without cold-weather and snow protection - guess which ones were installed in Texas? 11:55 - that was a very vague (and wrong) explanation of distinction between energy (measured in J or Wh) and power (W).

[@IronmanV5]

And natural gas fueled plants as well, in addition to gas supply infrastructure freezing up. The one that got me was STP nuclear SW of Houston having a reactor go down due to "cold weather issues". Their turbines and generators are out in the open🙄

[@alvarofernandez5118]

@@IronmanV5 I think the nuclear issue was due to the water inlet temperature being lower than some arbitrary cutoff in the software. "That can't be right! Shut it down!" I recall reading it FWIW. And look, we're not built for true *lasting* cold. Texas gets chilly in the winter, and really cold a day or two at a time. I mean, our apartments have stairs on the outside. When there's a freeze they're death traps. I know. But it's only cold like that a day or two tops, and not every winter. Look at apartments in California. Same at Texas. Apartments in Wisconsin? Always on the inside. Our bus stops? Open. Wisconsin? Closed. Etc.

[@IronmanV5]

@@alvarofernandez5118 The natural gas fired power plants down my way, RGV, have the turbines & generators enclosed. The Braunig & Calaveras power plants on the south side of San Antonio also have them enclosed. The San Miguel power plant south of Pleasanton also has them enclosed. The fact that STP, located on the coast, doesn't in an area where Hurricanes are a somewhat regular possibility sounds like some stupid cost cutting to me. Same with Comanche peak SW of Ft Worth. In Tornado Alley. If they cheap out on something like that, what else did they cheap out on?

[@alvarofernandez5118]

@@IronmanV5 not trying to absolve them, thats for sure. But complicated systems fail in complicated ways. There is not one cause. One cause is certainly being cheap/cost saving - or smart spending, which is what it's called when it works out. :-)

Puppies and future tech! Two of my favorite things! Thanks Joe

[@jabeavers]

I don't watch that other guy's videos, only yours! You're the best!!!!

[@michaelfrench3396]

And don't feel bad about Matt getting videos out faster than you. At least you do your research. For example, he totally fell for the startup that said they were going to be able to store hydrogen on tape. And it was going to revolutionize energy. He also falls for everything Elon musk puts out. Being fastest does not usually mean that you're the best it just means that you're the fastest.

[@michaelfrench3396]

And better 3D renderings do not make good content. Good factual information conveyed in an understandable way makes good content. There's a reason I'm subscribed to this channel and not that Matt guys'.

If there is one thing I have learned in recent months it is to remain calm, especially when it comes to investments in cryptocurrencies. Learn not to sell in a panic when everything goes down and not to buy in euphoria when everything goes up. I advise y'all to forget predictions and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses. The market is very unstable and you can't tell if it's going bearish or bullish. While myself and others are trad!n without fear of making a loss others are being patient for the price to skyrocket. It all depends on the pattern you follow. I was able to make 9 BTC from 3.1 BTC in just August from implementing trades with tips and info from Wayne Thornton.

[@druidsmerkel7265]

My portfolio just recorded a massive increase despite the current downswing in BTC. Wayne Thornton is a skilled Pro Trader who has been properly managing my investments and generating me ROIS in return. I literally don't trade myself I just earn. I wish he would show me the ropes tho😂.

Just perfect, I have been telling everyone how he gave me a ray of hope after I thought I had lost it all, now I have not only learned how to use signals but also how to make market analysis.

I'm "undecided" as to which of these videos I like better! I watch a lot your videos a few times each and learn something new everytime. I don't mind seeing several videos on the same topic. I would say his is more informational and yours is more entertaining. Both fantastic

I actually like listening to both you and Matt (and others) talk about the same topics because (1) you all offer slightly different perspectives, and (2) I remember the information better hearing it multiple times. P.S. The puppies were cute.
