Why putting #solarpanels beside #highways is a no-brainer!
#California could generate enough #electricity to power 270,000 homes by putting solar panels in the empty land next to highway interchanges in just 3 Southern California counties.There is a lot of “dead” space between highways, which is currently not used for much of anything. It’s not a usable space for wildlife, either, due to the proximity of so many cars. These locations are often near #transmissionlines

Here's how #extremeheat can impact the grid and #renewables – and what's being done to protect them
#Heatwaves can also impair efficiency of power generation and transmission. Both renewable and conventional #powerplants may operate less efficiently under high temperatures. Likewise, #electricity #transmissionlines can lose efficiency due to higher resistive losses at elevated temperatures. Battery systems, particularly #lithiumion, can suffer in high temperatures as well

#Renewables in the US require plenty of new #transmissionlines

So, I just discovered this website on #antennas: http://www.antenna-theory.com/
It not only has sections on different types of antennas but also introduces one to the preliminaries required to understand the subject (such as impedance matching on transmission lines with the help of Smith chart).
