The Myth of the German Renewable Energy 'Miracle'

Is it true that Germany has a grid that is superior to that in the U.S. and the U.S. should strive to mimic the success of the German grid?

The addition of substantial levels of wind and solar resources to an electric energy grid raises significant reliability concerns at the transmission system level because these resources operate intermittently and, unlike other generating resources, they do not spin in synchronism with the grid. An electric grid is a large complex machine that must have many needs attended to in order to function properly. Dependable rotating generation operating in synchronism across the power system enabled the evolution of the modern grids. Without due regard to the issues of intermittency, voltage control, frequency control, and grid inertia an electric grid cannot operate reliably and stably. If the first world continues to expect affordable electricity, when we want it and in whatever quantity we want, these needs must be met.

In August of 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy issued a report investigating the reliability impacts of renewable energy resources and other recent developments on the electric grid. In the months leading up to its release, the German grid was held up as the model that the U.S. should emulate. Before seeking to do so, many questions should be explored. What levels of intermittent and asynchronous renewable energy (solar and wind) has Germany integrated into its electric system? Is it true that Germany has a grid that is superior to that in the U.S. and the U.S. should strive to mimic the success of the German grid? Should the US initiate a corresponding renewable energy miracle? We would argue that renewable energy in Germany is not at the high levels we have been led to believe, that the German grid is not superior and that there has been no miracle to be emulated.

If right wing profit motivated propaganda machine told the nitwits, pinheads and numbskulls to plant their mother on the roof for better TV reception, they'd all be running up ladders with their mothers slung over their shoulders.



Every opportunity these MOFO's get to stop progress they show up like a plague.
