Viable Renewable Energy smashes heatwave peak demand records in my state (South Oz).
South Oz, was also the home of the first Tesla grid battery.

RenewEconomy · Wind and solar smash output records as grid demand hits new highs in midst of heatwaveSouth Australia smashes demand record but prices remain negative because wind and solar supplied nearly all its power needs, as main grid also hits new peaks in heatwave.
Continued thread
Power plants with a minimum output are passés,
Say German engineers and scientists.
"#Baseload power plants supply electricity continuously, whereas so-called residual load plants run only intermittently when needed.
“A combination of solar and wind energy with storage, a flexible hydrogen system, flexible electricity demand and #ResidualLoad power plants will be necessary for a climate-friendly and reliable electricity supply,” the academies said. "
RenewEconomy · Baseload power generators not needed to guarantee supply, say science and engineering academiesGroup of science and engineering academies agree that baseload power plants not required to support a renewables dominated grid, and are likely to make it more expensive.
Australia hits 4 million rooftop PV installations, reaching 25 GW of capacity
Australia has recorded its 4 millionth rooftop solar installation, maintaining its status as a world leader with 25 GW of total capacity, surpassing the amount of nationwide coal generation.

The end of "Baseload" in Australia
Australia’s biggest coal generator AGL Energy is able to shut down coal units in the middle of the day, effectively making way for solar to dominate the grid.
The first trials have been held at Bayswater in the Hunter Valley, and involves a process called “two-shifting” – meaning it takes a unit offline and brings it back online within a 12 hour period.

The ConversationUtilities rely on dirty ‘peaker’ plants when power demand surges, but there are alternativesAs renewables account for a growing share of electricity supply, fossil fuel plants are increasingly used to balance fluctuations in renewable generation – emitting health-threatening pollutants.

Project DrawdownTo unlock clean power’s potential, timing is keyGetting clean, affordable, reliable electricity has always been a challenge for the electric sector. Electrical grids must balance supply and demand almost instantaneously to keep from interrupting service or damaging equipment – and curbing emissions means the game is changing.
What is rarely discussed about #RenewableEnergy platforms is their forward extensibility. #Solar Cells, #Wind Turbines and #Ocean-#Wave Converters all are capable of being upgraded in place over their long useful lives to increase efficiency & capacity by orders of magnitude. #BESS & #LDES are similar. This has never been the case with legacy #Baseload Generation platforms (#Coal, #Gas, #Nuclear, #Hydro, etc.). The #Baseload Paradigm is dead. Put a fork in it. @Snowshadow

But did your energy REALLY come from you? Or did it go on a loop via the substation? Or did a coal plant power your household appliance? 
One thing is for sure: Coal fire power production is reducing over time, as more wind, solar & storage comes online. Only #wind & #solar are on a massive installation spike.
Gas power is the most interesting fossil fuel because it can be switched on and off quickly. Coal needs to stay warmed up just in case. That’s where “#baseload power” comes from.
A piece on emerging #technology for deep drilling. #Geothermal steam extraction for #baseload electricity generation to me seems achievable much quicker than fusion. Also if available it could directly be used to convert our existing coal plants into carbon neutral production facilities.
