The scientific consensus is that 100% renewables, with no new nuclear and with no fossil fuels, is the solution to global warming, air pollution, and energy security. https://lnkd.in/gwCX6JEB https://lnkd.in/g8aA9hzs And despite all the proposals to build nuclear over the years, world output of nuclear electricity was 2.5% lower in 2023 than in 2004 because, despite all its subsidy and hype, new nuclear takes too long to plan/build, is far more expensive than, and has far higher energy security risks than 100% renewables. https://lnkd.in/gZVJMRTD

I feel like he understood the assignment. A few years ago, I read the Bill Gates book on addressing climate change and thought it was simplistic and not likely to be effective. After two days of seeing and hearing what Breakthrough Energy is working towards, I get it: they are investing in more than 100 companies to innovate in agriculture, buildings, transportation, and yes, energy, to specifically address the root causes of climate change. Bill Gates is personally putting his credibility and capital on the line to bring together the smartest and most powerful people in the world to work towards this goal. We must incrementally make progress with what we have now that we know works, while making room for innovations that could follow. Also, this cannot be done in a way that leads to deprivation, but contributes to prosperity and thriving communities around the world. This has never felt more timely than this week, when most of the U.S. and the UK suffered through extraordinary heat, which is more than just a day at the beach - it’s impacting the ability to grow food; displacing populations where it is too hot to live, causing immigration, which is leading to social upheaval; leading to flooding of major cities, which in turn will impoverish millions; and on and on. This is not an environmental calamity; it also an economic and social catastrophe. Bill Gates made an extraordinary global fortune and now he is seeking to address an extraordinary global challenge. He is punching up in his goals in his effort to leave the world a better place. As a human, Bill Gates understood the assignment. Onward.  #besummit24

With artificial intelligence (AI) poised to revolutionize industries, data center operators are seeking solutions to meet the power demands of high-density AI environments. We are supporting the transformation, rapidly deploying advanced power distribution and protection solutions across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. 🌍 Our groundbreaking HiPerGuard medium voltage UPS system shows the way forward: 💡 An innovative solution: HiPerGuard is designed specifically for mission-critical facilities. It combines high power density with alternative grid power sources, ensuring reliable performance even under intense AI workloads. ⚡ Energy efficiency: AI servers demand 4-8 times more power than conventional servers. To address this, data centers are upgrading their critical power infrastructure. HiPerGuard’s switch to medium voltage protection improves power usage efficiency (PUE) and resilience. 📈 Resilience and simplicity: By placing the UPS at the substation level, data centers simplify their low-voltage infrastructure.

Étude de l'influence de la pression d'#hydrogène sur les phénomènes de #fragilisation dans les materiaux de #pipeline. La fragilisation des matériaux par l'hydrogène est une problématique majeure dans la conception et l'exploitation des réseaux de transport d'hydrogène gazeux. Alors que l'hydrogène est un vecteur énergétique essentiel pour les systèmes du futur, il est crucial de comprendre comment la pression partielle d'hydrogène affecte les mécanismes de fragilisation afin d'assurer la sécurité et la fiabilité des infrastructures hydrogène. Cette étude approfondie, publiée par #ADNOC dans la revue International Journal of Engineering Applied Sciences and Technology, s'est penchée sur les effets de la pression d'hydrogène sur la perméabilité et la diffusivité de l'hydrogène dans divers aciers pour canalisations, notamment les nuances PSL-2, API 5L X42, X52 et X60. À l'aide d'un dispositif de perméation sous haute pression d'hydrogène, les travaux ont examiné le comportement de ces matériaux soumis à des pressions allant jusqu'à 50 bar et des températures de 400°C. Principaux résultats : - Cinétique de transport de l'hydrogène Le matériau X52 présente une diffusivité et une perméabilité à l'hydrogène plus élevées que les nuances X42 et X60. Cela s'explique par l'hétérogénéité de sa microstructure, probablement liée à un manque de contrôle des paramètres thermomécaniques de fabrication. L'augmentation de la pression partielle d'hydrogène entraîne une hausse significative de la perméabilité et de la diffusivité, soulignant l'importance du choix judicieux des matériaux et de leur procédé d'élaboration dans la conception des pipelines. - Analyse microstructurale L'examen métallographique montre que la microstructure du X52 est plus hétérogène, ce qui favorise une diffusion non uniforme de l'hydrogène. La structure ferrito-perlitique classique des aciers faiblement alliés présente des interfaces ferrite/cémentite agissant comme des sites de piégeage préférentiels pour l'hydrogène, affectant ainsi les propriétés de transport. - Impact de la pression d'hydrogene Une pression d'hydrogène plus élevée exacerbe significativement la fragilisation des matériaux de pipeline. Les résultats montrent que des pressions plus importantes entraînent une perméation et une diffusion accrues de l'hydrogène, accélérant potentiellement la dégradation du matériau et les risques de défaillance. - Propagation de fissures et fatigue La fragilisation par l'hydrogène favorise l'amorçage et la croissance de fissures sous-critiques, en particulier dans les zones de fortes contraintes où l'accumulation d'hydrogène peut atteindre des niveaux critiques, menant à des ruptures soudaines et catastrophiques. Cette étude approfondie des mécanismes d'interaction hydrogène/matériaux dans les conditions de service des pipelines permet d'orienter la conception et l'exploitation des infrastructures hydrogène vers plus de sécurité et de fiabilité.
