Ø A startup from New
Zealand has now developed a safe
method to
wirelessly transmit electric
power across long distances.
Ø EMROD has produced the first long-range, high-power, wireless
power transmission alternative to the traditional copper wire method by using
the concept of electromagnetic waves
Ø Emrod has
convinced a power distribution company to try their innovation on a commercial
scale. It might not be free, but it would be cheap, accessible, and scaled up with ease
Ø The setup contains a
transmitting antenna, a series of relays and a receiving rectenna — a
rectifying antenna capable of converting microwave energy into electricity
Ø The line of sight between each relay is the
only limiting factor for the distance of transmission — thus greatly reducing
infrastructure & maintenance costs & environmental impact, that a wired solution
imposes.
Ø This wireless
transmission could be the key
to harnessing renewable energy which is often generated in areas far from where
it is needed
===============================================
MY TAKE :
Even after successful
commercialization, this invention of EMROD will not make DISCOMS obsolete
But it will, most
certainly, disrupt the businesses of :
Ø Manufacturers of ( current design )
Transmission Towers
Ø Manufacturers of High Voltage
transmission cables
Ø Construction companies engaged in laying
transmission lines
To fully appreciate how
this invention will enable :
Ø Transmission to Earth, power generated
in space ( Solar or Magnetism based )
Ø Getting rid of ALL fossil-fuel based (
dirty power ) generation ( in
next 10 years )
Ø Never a blackout / brownout ( supply matching
demand 24x7, everywhere )
Ø Power
@ Re 1 / Kwh ( making for a LOW
COST ECONOMY )
Ø Storing of surplus power in grid-size Li-ion Battery Storage Installations
Ø
Doing away with need to lay expensive /
time-consuming Power Transmission Lines to evacuate solar power expected to be
generated at Rajasthan / Kutchh / Lahul and Spiti / Ladakh,

please read the following blogs ( earlier sent
as emails to Cabinet Ministers )
I urge Shri
R K Singhji ( Minister for
Renewable Power ), to form a consortium of the following organizations, for an early COMMERCIALIZATION of EMROD invention :
Ø NTPC / DISCOMS / EMROD / KEC / L&T / BHEL / ECIL
/ NHPC / ONGC / National Labs etc

Unlimited Power : and round the
clock ? ………………………………………………[ 29 July 2016 ]
Extract :
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 !

Dear Piyush Goyalji :
Please expedite your approval of the proposal submitted by the
Power Grid Corporation of India , to generate 315.7 GW of Solar power in the deserts of Rajasthan /
Kutchh / Lahul and Spiti / Ladakh
Make a beginning with 10 GW
That will enable you to provide power to homes / offices and
factories all over India at Rs 1.0 per Kwh !

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. ”

Relays in the form of long-endurance drones and satellites will play a crucial role in the future. These drones, hovering at high altitudes, will transmit laser energy to each other over extended distances before delivering it to a U.S. military base. Similarly, satellites will perform the same mission in space.
“POWER is developing stratospheric platforms with small apertures ranging approximately 100 kilometers between nodes. With larger apertures and a more benign environment like space, distances between nodes of up to 1,000 kilometers are reasonable,” Calhoun added. The result would be a “globally scalable energy distribution network.”
As with all of its projects, once DARPA has demonstrated the POWER project's viability in theory, it will turn it over to other government organizations for actual implementation. Additionally, there are clear uses for POWER in the commercial sphere, such as supplying energy to far-flung communities, research facilities, and other challenging locations. Additionally, the energy could come from renewable resources, making it both environmentally friendly and widely available.
