Tesla Powerwall could revolutionize the way the Irish people power their homes.
With Tesla's power wall battery announcement earlier this month, we have all read the CEO of Tesla Elon Musk's domestic energy use program.
But how does this innovation affect Irish homes and future Irish kitchens? We are all investing in renewable energy ideas for our families.
It looks like Ireland, especially rural Ireland, is the perfect market for Tesla Powerwall.
We are a small island country with few carbon resources, and we are almost at the bottom of energy independence.
According to Eurostat, Ireland generated only 11% of its electricity in 2011, with only Malta, Luxembourg and Cyprus having worse power generation.
Of course, the future looks brighter, and Ireland has abundant renewable natural resources for wind and wave power generation.
The problem with these energy sources is not that they are not rich and can easily generate electricity from wind, sun, waves and geothermal sources.
The trick is to transport, store and provide this energy where and when needed.
Carbon fuels are easier to store and transport, and they have a longer and more stable shelf life.
So far, the challenges facing Ireland's massive adoption of renewable energy have been linked to the relatively volatile (volatile) nature of our resources.
We don't have so many reliable sunny days to predict how much solar energy will affect our power consumption.
It's all good on our rare sunny days, and power generation is good, but unless you can store or feed back your energy to the grid, it's hard for consumers to invest in real returns, to make it worth it.
This is exactly what Tesla's Powerwall wants to meet.
The battery is not fresh, we have been using it for decades, but the key to Powerwall is not its basic concept, but how it solves Li-ion batteries.
Powerwall is lithium-
Lithium-ion batteries, lithium-ion moves from the negative pole to the positive pole when discharging, and from the negative pole to the positive pole when charging.
You 've already used one on your phone, laptop, and if Tesla has its way, there will be one at your home.
Problem with lithium-
So far, the production of ion batteries has been slow and expensive, and the cost will be passed on to consumers.
They also generate a lot of heat when they are charged or discharged, and we 've all heard stories of phones and laptops burning.
This makes it difficult to assemble too many battery cores together.
Learning how to manage these features is a real beauty of what Tesla does.
Instead of using a clunky battery core that is prone to overheating, they pack thousands of coin-sized cores, string them together with a liquid cooling system, and isolate them in individual compartments, in this way, it will not spread if the fire does start.
The concept of home battery looks perfect for Ireland, and if you run the appliance while it's windy, sunbathing, your turbines and solar panels will bypass the battery and power your kitchen directly.
If the battery is full and your renewable energy is still collecting it, it will be fed back to the grid.
Imagine, however, a long, gray Irish summer where you don't have enough sun to power your home.
You can set the battery to charge from the grid in cheaper off-
During peak hours, you can use it at any time.
Our current dependence on fossil fuels makes no sense, both economically and in terms of the environment is unsustainable, and a more independent future of energy is a logical development.
However, this independence is likely to begin on a personal level, well before it is adopted nationwide.
This will help to become a consumer electronics with less demand for home power supply.
Cleaner, greener and more economical appliances, especially in the kitchen, play a big role in this area.
Tesla has made significant progress, and there must be a long way to go before it can be adopted on a large scale, but perhaps their great achievements seem so viable.
We can now realistically imagine what a battery-powered home would look like.
Tesla has had so much initial demand for the product since it was announced this month.
Since the announcement of battery, "the response is warm, like crazy ".
"We basically sold out in the first week of next year.
Tesla's lithium-ion battery manufacturing plant in Nevada, Gigafactory 1, plans to produce 35 gigawatts of batteries and 50 gigawatts of battery packs.
This number will now increase by 50.
