New hybrid model for energy creation
A plan for a new hybrid model for renewable energy creation is announced in Florida.
Jad Mouawad, New York Times
According to The New York Times , former swamplands in Indiantown, Fla. will soon become one of the nation's largest utilities that is powered by renewable power. Across 500 acres north of West Palm Beach, Fla. the FPL Group utility is assembling 190,000 solar panels, and once completed, the project will be the world's second-largest solar plant. The solar array will be grafted onto the back of the nation's largest fossil-fuel power plant, fired by natural gas. The project is an experiment in whether conventional power generation can be married with renewable power in a way that lowers costs and spares the environment. This project is among a handful of innovative hybrid designs meant to use the sun's power as an adjunct to coal or gas in producing electricity. While other solar projects already use small gas-fired turbines to provide backup power for cloudy days or at night, this is the first time that a conventional plant is being retrofitted with the latest solar technology on such an industrial scale.
