According to experts, today's power grid facilities in the United States 100 years ago, is a system designed to allow the public to support the cause of each other, reducing the interruption, in a small area of energy sharing. It's like street, road and rural roads component of the system.
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FederalEnergyRegulatoryCommission) Sudikaili members (SuedeenG.Kelly) said: "What we need is an interstate transmission of high-speed access systems."
Today, the United States the use of electricity, only 1% from wind turbines, but many experts are beginning to the idea that this figure could reach 20%.
This needs a lot of long distance transportation of energy from less windy in the central plains region, to the densely populated coastal region. Construction were also thinking of the large-scale desert solar power station will have the same problem of transportation.
Power limitations of such projects is hindered. Boa cover Veloso (GabrielAlonso) is a coastal wind energy companies (HorizonWindEnergy), chief director of development, which the company operates Maple Ridge. He said that in an area of Wyoming, a wind turbine to New York than in Texas or where more than 50% of the electricity generated.
"Wind up to the place has not yet set up wind turbines because there is no way to transport electricity from there to more people," said A Suoluo. The fundamental problem is that a lot of transmission lines, as well as a link between the scale is too small, few energy companies are willing to go out in the middle of their Road to be. Long-distance transmission, this is very difficult to death, even hundreds of miles of short-distance transmission, in some cases will also be hampered. Maple Ridge Farm in New York City, Lao Weier (Lowville) near power lines often become very crowded, so the company can choose to turn off the wind turbine - or continue to pay for the electricity transmission line in the introduction.
Washington politicians have long known the limitations of power grids, but this problem is as rare. They do not want to override the various state privileges, because traditionally in all states of their own state within the management of the power grid have any, incentives to improve the status quo so that the neighbors benefit from the state.
Texas oilman Paper Wiggins (T. BoonePickens), is building the world's largest wind power farm, he is developing plans to use the hands of the right-of-pipe (for Dalls from the Panhandle to market delivery of 250 miles) to solve the problem of power grid . He has been in the Congress proved that the policy of the Texas project is very beneficial to the development of wind energy and the other is still difficult to compare with him. Paper Higgins in the National Assembly, said: "If you want to promote throughout the country, many long-distance transmission lines, and public utilities around the different, so Congress must come forward to it."
Wind heat wave has been reduced in recent years, many bold ideas and styles, such as New York Mayor Michael (MichaelBloomberg) ", New York, full of wind turbines". Some companies even again with this idea: using compressed air or spinning wheel speed to store wind energy. But experts said that if the power grid problem is not solved, the effective use of large-scale wind energy could still only dream.
Now divided into a grid structure is in the form of about 200,000 miles of the power grid for the 500 enterprises owned. Large-scale transmission update, which often involves a large number of companies, as well as numerous state government's permission. Every power grid capacity is caused by various opposition. According to federal data show that all kinds of obstacles means that the growth rate of electricity transmission lines is an increase of 4 times.
2005 energy law passed by Congress gives the Department of Energy, the state government against the practice, have the right to intervene to allow transmission.
Department of Energy designated two areas, one in the central Atlantic coast states, one in the south-west, as a national pilot area; the results of 14 U.S. senators sent a joint letter, saying that too strong a Department of Energy.
Department of Energy's leader said that regardless of where the problem more reasonable, they still have to continue. Responsible for the transmission of electricity and energy reliability of the Assistant Secretary-General said Le Ke Kevin (Kevin M. Kolevar) said: "The power of modern facilities is a pressing national issues, all of us is a common problem."
The United States is different from other energy solutions to improve the power grid facilities do not need new technology. Department of Energy has a plan to use the country's electricity from wind power to provide 20% of the plan need to build across the United States, the equivalent of 2100 miles of high-voltage backbone network, the U.S. power company (American Electric Power) in the implementation of the project.
The high cost of the project is expected to more than 60,000,000,000 U.S. dollars, but the theory that these costs can be spread for many years, tens of thousands of consumers of electricity. However, in most states, based on the existing public service work provides an assessment of investment in transmission, the results are not encouraging more cooperation between the states. A lower tariff rate in some states, elected officials are concerned that this new transmission line will do nothing other than their own, cheaper transmission of electricity out and let the state electricity rate increases. In the absence of a clear plan on how to recover the costs and profits, the federal government has not shown leadership on this, there is no company or organization, in order to the building of such a backbone transmission network, said it's necessary to fight the political battle
Texas and California in wind power transmission line construction to achieve some progress, but on the national level, but the problem seems to be more serious. New York is about 1,500 megawatt of wind power generating capacity. 1,000,000 watts of energy is instantaneous measurement units. A large Wal-Mart about 1 megawatt of energy. New York plans to increase the 8,000 megawatt power generation capacity. But those wind turbines to be built in remote areas more than from the perspective of power, it is necessary to have a far from conventional route, but also was not clear whether the building enough transmission capacity. Over the past two decades, in addition to the two underwater Long Island (Long Island) connection, the building of New York has not had any major new transmission lines.
Many of renewable energy has a bold goal of the state, such as California, are now forced to address this problem, because if there are no new wires, the goal is utopian.
Long, New Mexico, former President Bill Clinton's energy consultants? Richard (Bill Richardson) has pointed out that the separation of the fragmented efforts of the United States in the insufficient development of renewable energy potential. Wind energy advocates said that only two wind energy rich states, that is, North Dakota and South Dakota, in principle, be able to rely on wind energy, half of the electricity output of the United States. However, if taking into account the distribution of the national power grid design, it is almost impossible to use the energy, only half the population of the United States have moved to the two states.
"We still use the transmission network in the Third World," Richard repeated many times in his comments. "As the federal government not to invest, not to set up good management mechanism, but there is nothing to sit and watch their change, know that only cut the oil, power grid has not modernized, especially wind power transport network."
