the ability to combine comments from multiple communities under one post, if the same link was posted to all of them. You can see an example of that here (notice how the comments have dividers for each community).

Oh thanks for the link, I had never seen it in action, it is really nice!

DC motors will tend to be optimal only at a set speed/torque whereas BLDC motors do need a microcontroller to be driven, but are able to optimize the flow in a much wider range. Coils in a DC motor are basically ON or OFF whereas they can ramp up in a BLDC depending on the speed.

Careful: negative price ≠ negative cost. Below zero prices are a market artifact usually.

The fact that this happens during peak HVAC use is a nice thing though.

And yes, we need intermittent industries, but the problem is, when you invest money in hardware, even to mine bitcoin (I would rather sell GPU time to train deep learning models personally) or to produce hydrogen, every hour not spent running your capital-intensive hardware is considered a cost that is not really compensated by energy price unless you run on donated hardware.

Circuits breakers are an obvious solution and there seems to be reasons why these are not implemented. I am not knowledgeable enough about the question but there seems to be a lot of counter-intuitive incentives that makes the energy market drop sub-zero occasionally. It is more of a market artifact than the absence of circuit breakers.

I have seen people in France explain that this is Germany undercutting prices to ensure France can't have profitable private solar power companies but this sounds a bit conspiracy-theory to me, as Germany is not the only one doing it (but the biggest one in terms of volume)

RTE (French national grid operator)'s realtime data. It is indeed awesome to have realtime trackers of that!

I'll give another factoid:

In a sunny day, around noon, many EU countries have below-zero prices for electricity exports:

It comes with a different set of issues, but this is not prospective or a hypothetical: this is the world we are living in, with the operator of the French grid warning that we are currently at solar saturation.

Now we need the other part of the puzzle: energy storage. On a HUGE scale.

Ça c'est la commu que j'aime.

It took 40 years to have solar energy and batteries up to the task, and we are not there yet. Yes, it could have been a choice to more massively invest in R&D in these fields, but you still need electricity while you shut down nuclear plants. Don't do it unless you are ready to replace them with something else than coal. We are not there yet. Germany relies on France's nuclear capabilities to import electricity at night.

tl;dr: Longchamps et Vincenne, c'est des hippodromes, Marigny était une marque de cigarette et Balto fait référence à Baltimore, capitale du tabac à une époque.

You don't need AI for that, they just use it as a scapegoat. At this point they may use a dummy named Steve. "I am sorry, Steve denied you medicare".

It is a simple algorithm that does not require "AI".

Yes, it is not a problem for the power plants, it is a problem for the fauna and it only impacts reactors without cooling towers (which I repeat, can actually cool down rivers). And I may add, this is a problem for the fauna caused in big part by the global warming which nuclear plants help prevent.

From the (translated article)

The measures were intended to protect the ecosystem of the Aare River and comply with strict environmental regulations.

...

According to EDF, throttling or shutting down nuclear power plants during heat waves has led to an average reduction in annual electricity production of 0.3 percent since 2000.
