Liu Zhenya is the Chairman of
He is planning a
globally interconnected International Grid of electric power
For details of
his vision , read :
“ Does the path to a low-carbon future run through a
global grid ? “
Extract :
By any measure, this super-grid would
be an immense undertaking.
The GEIDCO plan involves building nine
latitudinal and nine longitudinal lines, linking
every continent on Earth except Antarctica.
“Like a river with many tributaries, it
will connect over 100 countries and 80 per cent
of the global population, with a total length of 180,000 kilometers,” Liu said
in April 2018 .
The benefits could
be immense, as well.
The GEI would
improve reliability and, he predicted, even ultimately reduce
the average cost of electricity.
Most
importantly, interconnecting grids and power sources over larger distances can
facilitate greater penetration of renewable power — smoothing
out the inevitable geographic and temporal variability in solar and wind power
production by balancing supply with distant loads.
The GEI could
thus turn the 12-hour time difference between New York and Beijing into an
advantage, sending power in one direction or the other
as those cities’ demand peaks at different times.
“It is a radical solution for overcoming the world’s
energy dilemmas,” Liu said.
“
JUST 7.7 PER CENT OF THE
SAHARA’S SOLAR ENERGY WOULD MEET GLOBAL ELECTRICITY DEMAND. ”
