2025-11-13 Grid Forming Vs Grid Following Inverters – Engineering With Rosie
This video is important because it shows that the electrical engineers’ claims that the grid must have rotating inertia has been superceded by electronics and software – grid forming inverters. Starting at about the 10:00 point she tells us about grid forming inverters as opposed to rotating inertia such as synchronous condensers. In the last

2025-10-28 Between 2022 and today, California’s Battery Capacity Has Nearly QUADRUPLED!
And the state has issued ZERO Flex Alerts since 2022. https://www.facebook.com/100064568869046/posts/pfbid02kzoYjTQ65KYeZppV4X4F57e7Ay7vdh7XnjCez6oGgLcWswQrpHGRfWhAWksRzkFNl/?mibextid=CDWPTG
2025-07-13 China Has + & – 800kV EHVDC Transmission Lines
Link to video showing what I commented on below. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1193757159114428/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e Did you notice that there are only two conductors going to the pylon in the background? That means this is a DC powerline. And there are six conductors in each bundle. That’s extremely high current, over 5000 amps. But the really amazing thing you can

2025-06-21 Making AC Voltage Boost Transformer To Correct Overloaded Grid
Watch the last few minutes of this 18 min. YouTube video to see the advertising on the box that tells what it does. This is really tragic. This multiple tap voltage boost transformer has to be used because the Indian electric grid is so overloaded that they can’t depend on the AC voltage to be

2024-12-21 Solar Finally Goes Exponential
Sam (the Electric Viking) tells us about a Renewables futurist and how China is installing renewables that are the equivalent of five nuclear power plants *a week*!! China has surpassed 1 Terawatt of solar capacity in 2024. Global installed solar capacity has hit two terawatts! It took 68 years to reach 1 Terawatt Solar capacity,
