Izwe lamandla omhlaba libhekene nezinguquko ezibaluleke kakhulu kusukela ekusetshenzisweni okubanzi kwamandla ashintshayo. Ohulumeni bazibekele imigomo ebabazekayo yokususa ikhabhoni, izinkampani zizibophezela ekunikezeni amandla ahlanzekile ubusuku nemini, kanti nokuthatha umhlalaphansi kwesikhungo sikagesi esivamile kuyakhula ngesivinini. Nokho isizukulwane esivuselelekayo sisodwa asikwazi ukuletha ukwethembeka okufunwa umnotho wesimanje. Lokhu ngokoqobo kubeka isikali sokusetshenziswa kwebhethri isitoreji phakathi nendawo yoshintsho lwamandla aluhlaza, ihlinzeka ngesixhumanisi esingekho phakathi kokuphumayo okuguquguqukayo okuvuselelekayo kanye nokulethwa kwamandla aqinile. Kwa-Wenergy, sizibeke phakathi kwabanekhono kakhulu abahlinzeki besitoreji sesikali sosizo ngokwakha izinhlelo ezibhekana ngqo nale nselelo. Izixazululo zethu zinika amandla ama-opharetha wegridi nabakhiqizi bamandla ukuthi balondoloze uzinzo kuyilapho bekhulisa ngokuphawulekayo isabelo sikagesi ovela emithonjeni ehlanzekile. Ukuhlola okulandelayo kuveza ukuthi izixazululo zamandla esikali esisetshenziswayo zenza kanjani uguquko lwenzeke nje kuphela, kodwa lube nenzuzo.

Ukulinganisa Kwegridi Njengesisekelo Sokuthembeka Kwegridi

Njengoba ukungena komoya kanye nelanga kukhula, indlela yendabuko yokufanisa isizukulwane ukuze ilayishe iba nzima kakhulu. Ilanga alihlali likhanya lapho amafekthri edinga amandla, futhi umoya awuhlali uvunguza phakathi neziqongo zakusihlwa. Isitoreji sebhethri esikalini esisetshenziswayo sixazulula lokhu kungafani okuyisisekelo ngokumunca ukukhiqiza ngokweqile ngezikhathi zokukhiphayo okuphezulu okuvuselelekayo futhi sikukhulule lapho isidingo sidlula ukunikezwa. Lesi senzo sokulinganisa senzeka ngokuqhubekayo, ngokuvamile ngaphandle kokuthi ama-opharetha egridi adinga ukungenelela mathupha. E-Wenergy, sisebenzisana eduze nezinsiza okufanele sizisebenzise isitoreji sebhethri sesikali esisetshenziswayo amasistimu aphendula ngokuzenzakalela ekuphambukeni kwefrikhwensi kanye nezinguquko zokulayisha. Lokhu kufakwa kuthuthukisa ukwethembeka kukonke ngokunciphisa isidingo sezindawo zikaphethiloli wezinto ezimbiwa phansi ukuze zikhuphuke njalo zehle. Kubasebenzisi begridi abahlola abahlinzeki besitoreji sesikali sosizo esingaba khona, ikhono lokuletha amandla okulinganisa angenamthungo kufanele kube umbandela wokukhetha oyinhloko.

Imvamisa Yesikhathi Sangempela kanye Namakhono Okulawula Amandla Kagesi

Ikhwalithi yamandla ibaluleke kakhulu njengenani lamandla kumakhasimende ezimboni kanye nemithwalo ebucayi kagesi. Uma ukukhukhuleka kwefrikhwensi ngaphandle kwemingcele eyamukelekayo noma ukuncishiswa kwamandla kagesi kwenzeka, izinqubo zokukhiqiza zingama futhi okokusebenza kungonakalisa. Isizukulwane sendabuko sinikeza inertia esiza ukugcina le mingcele, kodwa njengoba amajeneretha ahambisanayo eyeka, imithombo emisha yokulawula kufanele igcwalise igebe. Isitoreji sebhethri lesikali esisetshenziswayo sihamba phambili kulo msebenzi, sifaka noma simunce amandla ngaphakathi kwama-millisecond ukuze silungise ukuchezuka ngaphambi kokuthi kusakazeke. I-Wenergy idizayina amasistimu ethu ngama-electronics amandla akwazi ukuphendula ngokushesha kunanoma iyiphi ijeneretha eyimishini, ihlinzeka opharetha begridi ngethuluzi eligcina ikhwalithi yamandla ngokuqhubekayo. Leli khono lokulawula isikhathi sangempela limelela umnikelo oyinhloko ovela kubahlinzeki besitoreji sesikali sensiza, okuvumela ukungena okuphezulu okuvuselelekayo ngaphandle kokufaka engozini ugesi ozinzile kanye nemvamisa elindelwe amakhasimende. Ukufakwa kwesitoreji sebhethri sesikali esisetshenziswayo okwenza ukulawulwa kwamafrikhwensi kungajikeleza izikhathi eziningi nsuku zonke ngaphandle kokucekelwa phansi, okufakazela ukubaluleka kwakho ngokusebenza njalo.

Ukwandisa Ukubuyiselwa Kwezimali Ezivuselelwayo Ngokululaza

Onjiniyela abatshala imali ezimpahleni zelanga nezomoya babhekene nenselelo eqhubekayo: ukuhlukahluka kokukhipha kwabo kunciphisa inani lamandla abawakhiqizayo. Abasebenzisa igridi bangase banciphise ukukhiqizwa ngezikhathi zokukhiqiza ngokweqile, futhi ukungafani phakathi kweziqongo zokukhiqiza neziqongo zamanani kushiya imali etafuleni. Isitoreji sebhethri sesikali esisetshenziswayo silungisa zombili izinkinga ngokwenza bushelelezi okukhiphayo okuvuselelekayo nokushintsha ukulethwa ezikhathini zenani eliphezulu. Uma ifu lidlula endaweni yelanga, isistimu yokugcina ibhethri yesikali sokusetshenziswa ingakhuphuka ngokushesha ukuze igcwalise isikhala, igcine iphrofayela yamandla ezinzile ehlangabezana nezidingo zegridi. Ngo Wenergy, sibambisene nonjiniyela abavuselelekayo ukuze bahlanganise isitoreji ngokuqondile nezimpahla zabo ezikhiqizayo, siqinisekisa ukuthi ihora ngalinye le-megawatt-hora lamandla ahlanzekile lithola umthengi ngentengo engcono kakhulu. Abahlinzeki besitoreji sesilinganiso sensiza esicabanga phambili kakhulu manje banikeza izixazululo ezididiyelwe eziphatha ukukhiqiza nokugcina njengesisetshenziswa esisodwa esithunyelwayo, okwandisa imbuyiselo ekutshalweni kwezimali kubanikazi bephrojekthi kuyilapho besekela ukuzinza kwegridi.

Ukushintshela ohlelweni lwamandla aluhlaza akukwazi ukuphumelela ngaphandle kokuguquguquka nokuthembeka okunikezwa yisitoreji. Isitoreji sebhethri esikalini esisetshenziswayo esivela ku-Wenergy sinika amandla ukulinganisa kwegridi, ukulawulwa kwesikhathi sangempela, nokushelela okuvuselelekayo okudala isisekelo sokususa ikhabhoni okujulile. Njengabanye abahlinzeki besitoreji esikalini esisebenzayo abasebenzela izinsiza kanye nonjiniyela emhlabeni wonke, sihlala sizibophezele ekuletheni amasistimu enza ikusasa lamandla ahlanzekile lifezeke futhi lisebenze ngokwezomnotho.
