Unlimited
Power : and round the clock ? ……………………………………….[ 29 July 2016 ]
Where I wrote :
But imagine if it was
possible to export / import power, to and from, anywhere in the World, using a World Power Grid !
Then imagine this :
Sun is shining on
some or other part of the World, during its local day-time
Nearly 20 % of the
World's surface is receiving Solar Energy , at all times , including on vast
tracts of sea / desert / forests or other un-inhabited regions, where there is
no local demand / consumption of power
Installing Solar
Power generating panels in such regions can generate, a huge amount of power
And, without
bothering to " store
" such power into storage batteries , it can be exported to other regions of the World ,
which are facing night and have no capacity to " store " whatever solar power it may
have produced during its own day-time
All this can happen
if we have a World Power
Grid ! A power-sharing eco-system for the entire World !
In that case , all
through 24 hours , regions in daylight will keep generating solar power and keep exporting to regions under
night sky - without bothering to store !

I sent following blog /
email to Cabinet Ministers :
Liu
Zhenya : The Visionary [ 04 June 2018 ]
Where I wrote :
Liu Zhenya
is the Chairman of
He is planning a globally interconnected International Grid of
electric power
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. ”

Two weeks later,
I sent following alert
to our Policy Makers :
Connecting
Everything ? ……………………………………………………………..[ 15 June 2018 ]
Content :
China wants to connect EVERY THING
* Countries ( OBOR )
* Power Generating Stations
* Vehicles
* Citizens
* Currency
* World Trade
China is consuming nearly 50 % of the World’s STEEL and CEMENT
It has also near monopoly in RARE EARTHS (
including Lithium for Electric Car Batteries )
On top of this , China is buying up MINES ( of all kinds of
minerals ) , in Africa , in return for heavy investment in local infrastructure
projects in those African countries
Any guesses about “ What next ? “

2020
Yesterday, I came across
following RFP ( Request
For Proposal ) on the website of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy [ (www.mnre.gov.in ] :
https://mnre.gov.in/img/documents/uploads/file_f-1590573144563.pdf
DEVELOPING A LONG-TERM VISION, IMPLEMENTATION PLAN,
ROAD MAP AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR IMPLEMENTING ,
ONE
SUN, ONE WORLD, ONE GRID
which
reads at places ( not full 26 pages ) :
Ø One
Sun, One World, One Grid ( OSOWOG )
India’s Prime
Minister recently called for connecting solar
energy supply across borders, with the mantra of ' One Sun, One World,
One Grid ' ( OSOWOG )
.
The vision behind the
OSOWOG mantra is “The
Sun Never Sets” and is a constant at some geographical location,
globally, at any given point of time
The Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, has a critical role to play in
synergizing over 140 countries, across the far
east and the far west regions, to build consensus, launch energy policy
imperatives and set up a framework for such a global
cooperation
India, through the OSOWOG
initiative, plans to take another leap towards building a global ecosystem of interconnected renewable
energy resources that are seamlessly shared for mutual benefits and
global sustainability.
Ø Scope
of Work
The scope of work is
planned to be undertaken in a phased approach consisting of three phases :
Phase I : Assessment
stage – Desk Review and Stakeholder Consultations: ( 6
months )
Phase II : Potential assessment and pilots
identification: ( 4 months )
Phase III : Full scale roll out: ( 3 months )
Ø Key
Engagement Objectives
# Develop a long-term
vision for OSOWOG
# Develop
an action plan and a road
map to achieve OSOWOG’s vision
# Institutional framework to implement OSOWOG
Ø Submission
of Proposals
The Bidders must send
their offer electronically, comprising a technical proposal and financial
proposal. Your proposal must reach the dedicated email : sk.gupta81@gov.in , on or before the
deadlines as mentioned in this RFP [ 6th July, 2020 ]
=================================
Congratulations , Shri
R K Singhji
( Minister for MNRE / Rajkumar.singh19@sansad.nic.in
At age of 87, I may not be around to see the
realization of what I visualized 4 years ago
But I have a deep sense of satisfaction that,
when realized, this initiative of yours will save 12 lakh pre-mature
deaths in India EVERY YEAR
, due to air
pollution caused by fossil fuel based power plants
When this project gets fully implemented across
the world, I believe , electric power could be made available to end-consumers
at Re: 1 / Kwh !
In Solar Power , there is neither any cost of Raw Materials ( sunlight being
free ), neither any cost of Labour ( conversion being automatic – needing hardly any manpower )
That Re: 1 / - would be the cost of Money ( interest payable on funds required for solar
panels / transmission lines / storage batteries / other allied equipment )
