Australia is the world's third-largest exporter of fossil fuels, whose economy is directly dependent on the extraction of non-renewable energy resources. Due to the fact that the active use of coal and other standard fuels is fraught with greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, Australia is ready to fundamentally change the situation by introducing its development to create a new solar project in real life. The Australian cable project, proposed by Australian scientists, envisages the construction of a 10 gigawatt solar farm, with most of the energy generated by the installation going to Singapore via cable running through the seabed, according to inverse.com .
New Australian Solar Farm Project To Generate Over 10 Gigawatts Of Energy
How do solar farms work?
Solar energy has long been considered one of the most efficient renewable resources, the need for which is growing more and more every day. The new project, invented by Australian researchers, involves the creation of a special farm with a length of 3800 km, located on 15,000 hectares near the small settlement of Tennant Creek, in the northern part of the country. It is known that the generated energy will supply the larger neighboring city of Darwin, as well as be exported to Singapore by submarine cable.
It is known that although the Sun Cable project was announced by a group of Australian developers a year ago, it will only work at full capacity by 2030. In order to export renewable energy sources abroad, a high-voltage direct current (DC) cable will connect the Northern Territory with Singapore. The application of such technology in the world is no longer new: some HVDC cables already carry energy over long distances. One of these cables is laid in China: connecting Central China with cities on the east coast, such as Shanghai, high-voltage cable supplies electricity to a huge number of local million-plus cities.
An underground power cable connecting the city with the central regions of China is one of the sources of energy supply in Shanghai.
The ability to transport electricity using cables dramatically reduces the cost of producing solar energy, making Sun Cable an extremely cost-effective project.
Inspired by the idea of creating Sun Cable, local high-tech companies came up with a few more ideas that could be implemented in Australia in the coming years. It is known that the so-called Murchison project in Western Australia will use the energy produced by solar and wind power plants to create a stable source of renewable electricity transported to East Asia. Another inspirational clean energy project could be the energy center in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, with more than 15 gigawatts in capacity. The energy generated at the station will be exported and delivered to local industries.
All of the projects mentioned above are consistent with the ambitious strategy of the Australian Government regarding the introduction of renewable energy sources to regulate the daily needs of the population. In addition, in addition to the gradual transition to the use of solar energy , the government of the fifth continent plans to implement the active introduction of the use of pure hydrogen in a number of industries in the country.
By exporting clean fuel to the energy-consuming ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member states - Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore - Australia risks becoming the largest supplier of green energy not only in the region, but also in the world
