The electric motor is not 100% efficient so some heat must be available for cabin. Large synchronous generators are 97% efficient not sure about 100 kw e vehicle Motors

Whistler Victoria is about that long too

My time series are from PLC in hydro electric power stations. Usually about 1000 series per turbine and another 1000 for general plant or river stuff. So it is just timestamp and bool, 16 or 32 bit u/int, or 32 bit float. Will just use grafana as front end. Seems to replace industry heavyweight offerings such as Osisoft Pi.

Did you consider Victoria metrics at all? It is based on clickhouse design. I am considering it for time series type historian so different Application but I think it could work where clickhouse works too.

Victoria metrics can store data at local node and forward to central when network is functioning

If the expense of the solar panels is not Bourne by the beneficiary of the increased water supply then there was no incentive other than the solar power.

A side effect of having so many calls for drug users in distress is that those services aren’t available to immediately respond to other types of medical emergencies that are life threatening, such as a heart attack for example.

I agree the reserve mechanisms provide the incentive to pay generators to exist with an entire gas turbine, generator, switchgear, operations staff, health and safety staff, maintenance staff, transformer, interconnection, land, environmental permits, hr and accounting departments to be “available” but not generate except in the time that renewables can’t. The only difference in cost for the plant to exist and not run but be ready and to run is the cost of the fuel.

So we still have to pay for dispatchable generation if we want to have power on a calm cloudy day week. We can add that cost to the cost of the storage and overbuilding of capacity that allows solar or wind to deliver rated power overnight. Or live with blackouts

How do you make it worthwhile for someone to have a natural gas peaker plant ready to run at any time for only 1% of hours in a year? Where does that cost figure in the tradeoff between renewables + batteries vs nuclear?
