In Germany it so politically correct for wind power and nuclear power to be. But there is a small problem, sometimes the wind does not blow really. Then, coal and gas power plants are raised. This is ecologically illogical. Moreover, it is true that nuclear power plants through 24 hours, if anyone needs electricity or not, even if a lot of wind blowing. It is clear off for a few hours is problematic.
Is there a solution?
Yes, the reactor will remain on the turbine is switched off and the hot steam will melt a kettle of salt. Is this really big tank, you can easily store one or several days, the energy in the form of heat. The technology comes from solar thermal power plants, where it is tested. Is it in the wind power plants doldrums through several turbines in nuclear power plants, the missing Feed gigawatts to the grid.
costs low
The technical effort is small and is not there to intervene in the nuclear field of a nuclear power plant, the permit not be a problem. The huge advantage is that actually a lot more wind power can be used as today, without leading to massive network problems. The only "toad" that must swallow the wind fans, is that the existing nuclear power plants are useful. Nuclear power operators can recall, the assigned Trittin of maturity used sensibly and not made useless cheap night electricity.
Thus, two innovations be merged sense!
