THIS is what climate change looks like. There’s no other way to say it, and it will only get worse if we fail to act. My thoughts are with everyone trying to stay warm during these blackouts — please stay safe. washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/02…

It's confirmed: The blackouts in Texas are primarily because of frozen instruments at gas, coal and nuclear plants -- as well limited supplies of gas, according to Ercot. Frozen wind turbines were the least significant factor. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… pic.twitter.com/MBoWt7BDmu

ざっと報道等で読んだ情報によると、テキサス、大寒波に伴う史上最大の電力需要70GWに達したが、燃料不足等で天然ガス火力を中心に~30GWの発電所が運転停止。輪番停電で~15GW程度の需要をカットするも、大雪による送配電網の損傷もあり、マイナス10℃前後の気温で停電が続く。早急な回復の見込みなし。

天然ガスそのものはもちろん凍らないけど、パイプラインの設備が凍上、雪氷の重量、低温による収縮、内部の水分の凍結膨張等で故障するのか。 pgjonline.com/magazine/2015/… 発生箇所は主パイプ57%、メーターや調圧器19%、Service riser (地中から出てくる所のパイプ？）19%、バルブ2%、だそうな。

This is what happens when the jet stream gets weird. Now imagine instead it’s the Gulf Stream that brings warm water to the east coast of the US and Europe that gets unpredictable 🙃

電力は保存事実上できないので在庫が持てず、かつ簡単に取引停止できないので、本来的にコモディティ市場としての条件を備えていないため、緊急時にはこのような大きなリスクがあります。

寒波で風力発電が凍結するなどしてテキサスの電力が大変なことになっています。1メガワット時9000ドルは上限値です。日本円換算で、950円/kWhですが、１月の高騰時でも250円だったので、いかに高いかわかると思います。普段は５円とか10円です。 bloomberg.co.jp/news/articles/…

英語のエネルギー関係者ツイッターも、昨日今日とテキサスの停電でもちきりなわけだが。その総意は、reliabilityやresource adequacyはシステムレベルの問題なので、個別要因にその問題を帰することはできないこと、今後当局でデータを揃えて検証するので、今原因を追求しても意味がないということ。

Because of man-made #climatechange, the poles are heating faster than the rest of the planet, diminishing the temperature difference and weakening the jet stream. This also means that weather patterns - periods of itense rain or drought - are locked in for longer periods of time

Confused about the #PolarVortex? Usually a strong jet stream confines Arctic air to the north, stabilized by a big difference in temperature between low and high latitudes. The smaller the difference in temperature, the more the wind belts meander (Via @RemoteLongitude & @NOAA) pic.twitter.com/GEpzwjw1dS
