Summary
| Description |
English: ESA’s 35-metre antenna in Australia has now been powered by the Sun for over a year, cutting costs and reducing carbon emissions by 330 tonnes.
The solar plant at the New Norcia station in Western Australia started its first full month catching solar rays in August 2017. One year later, it had produced 470 Megawatt-hours of power, fuelling 34% of the total electricity consumption of the station. In order for the tracking station to be powered 100% by renewable energy, more panels would be required. Other sources of energy could also be used such as kite power, hydrogen or geothermal energy.Français : L'antenne de 35 mètres de l'ESA en Australie est maintenant alimentée par le Soleil depuis plus d'un an, ce qui réduit les coûts et les émissions de carbone de 330 tonnes.
La centrale solaire de la station de New Norcia en Australie-Occidentale a commencé son premier mois complet à capter les rayons solaires en août 2017. Un an plus tard, elle avait produit 470 mégawattheures d'électricité, soit 34 % de la consommation totale d'électricité de la centrale. Pour que la station de suivi soit alimentée à 100 % par de l'énergie renouvelable, il faudrait plus de panneaux. D'autres sources d'énergie pourraient également être utilisées, comme l'énergie éolienne, l'hydrogène ou l'énergie géothermique. |
