Yet despite its many advantages, homes with solar remain completely dependent on the electricity grid for reliable supply, which in Australia implies mostly coal-fired generation. Indeed, even countries that have invested heavily in solar, such as Spain and Germany, have been unable to deflect the trajectory of fossil fuel dependence..The reasons for this apparent paradox are varied, and this book provides a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the practical applications of photovoltaics (PV) in modern electricity systems. While the conventional life-cycle assessment (LCA) boundaries as prescribed by the IEA-PVPS provide a consistent methodology for comparing evolving PV technologies, the narrow boundaries exclude many critical downstream energy costs. Similarly, simple cost comparisons of PV versus conventional power sources overlook the significant economic and energy costs of intermittency and grid integration. Yet distributed storage, which could provide potentially valuable network support, is frequently given a low priority by advocates of solar..Treating PV as | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | 关键词 | Australia EROI; Australia coal and minerals; Australia coal and solar energy; Australia energy history; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-02940-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-02939-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-02940-5Series ISSN 2191-5520 Series E-ISSN 2191-5539 | issn_series | 2191-5520 | copyright | Graham Palmer 2014 |
