Review of basic building and utility rules
Building codes mandating energy efficiency are useful. They mean less overall energy production is required. Provide increased comfort and usually pay for themselves in energy savings. But, a more holistic criteria for building codes would be to minimize energy imports, and, soon to be discussed more importantly, minimize on-demand energy imports.
California is mandating solar generation on new residential construction. This is a great policy where spending an extra $5000 to $10000 can give up to $25000 in universal (close enough to cash) value. It obviously minimizes energy imports into the home. Holistically, with the previous point, this beneficially impacts outside energy production and infrastructure needs. The mandate is important because it forces developers to learn how to generate this free value for them and their customers. Without the addon of permitting, electrical connection changes, and sales, residential solar can be cheaper than utility scale solar.
The net zero home is a poor concept that corruptly grants control by monopolistic utilities (even as they fight such regulations). A net zero home is one that will export as much energy as it imports over the year. It is corrupt because it artificially limits power output from the home, and serves the utility in not having to pay for excess power provided by the home. The regulation has no social value, because society gains substantially by solar production in multi-use settings (ie. land/space below is used for other purposes), but an artificial limit on self-sustainability prevents one home/space from powering 10 or more others.
Home energy systems that use variable electric input
The most important and useful building code regulation doesn't exist yet. It is a requirement for heating and cooling systems to operate on variable electric source input. When the sun is shinning or wind blowing, heating and cooling is produced and stored. Such storage is 100 fold cheaper than any battery can ever be, and provides a needed energy buffer by feeding on cheap energy when it is available.
85% of typical north east US and southern Canada residential energy is used for heating, cooling and refrigeration with 4% of that refrigeration. According to Hydro Quebec, where most of their customers use electricity for all residential energy, 80% of their customer's energy is used for above purposes. The difference is that electricity can be more efficient.
A 100% renewable economy
setting the 12.6 Quad delivered in US as the 100% electricity generation mark, from those years, it would take 4.22 Quad (0.5 * 6.76 / 0.8) to electrify half of transportation, and 8.44 Quad (same at half efficiency) to convert the remaining (half: trucking, boating air) transportation to hydrogen (through electrolysis). It would take 19.5 Quad ((18.9 - 3.3) / 0.8) to convert industrial use of fossil and bio fuels to hydrogen. In percentage terms, electrified transportation adds 100% to generation needs, and industry adds 155%. With an 80% of electricity going to variable/intermittent sinks, and all of the transportation and industrial sectors also being intermitentable, 335% of current generation can come from variable renewables. This leaves 20% of existing generation capacity needed for on-demand (lighting, cooking, computers and other electronics) energy, can be replaced with hydro, batteries, tidal, geothermal. Another easy 5% of residential use (25% of the 20%) can be deferred to intermittent/abundant energy times: vacuuming, laundry, some meals, many computers have built in batteries. So 15% of current electricity production needs to be on-demand. 15% of legacy electricity production needs to continue existing.
Battery Electrical Vehicle charging as an intermittent demand
A typical light duty car, very well suited to being an EV, drives 10k miles/year (30 miles/day) and is parked over 90% of the time. While charging, and especially fast charging, would appear to place a high demand load on the grid, if the energy is coming from the 90% of other cars that are parked and charging on an intermittent basis, then the on demand energy can be considered intermittent as well.
Intermittent residential heating and cooling systems
Commercial systems designed to take advantage of time of use rates have used the principle of compressing a refrigerant to transfer heat out of it (storing it in water), and then letting that refrigerant expand in another container to create cold (can be transferred to water for ice).
A solar powered home has an added advantage of piping from the cold end to PV solar panels (a radiator on back), to boost generating efficiency, gain heat, and increase size of expansion space. Condensing gas for heat needs no pump energy, and has lower transmission losses. Pressurized gas that expands into liquid can be gravity fed or expanded for cooling. Isopentane is a good heat transfer candidate for both space heating and cooling.
Unvented hot water technology also does not require pumping to distribute. 2 cubic meters containing hot water can store with 70C temperature differential stores 163kwh of heat energy. This can be improved with phase change materials in an insulated enclosure. Since steam has 540 times the energy density as water, and at 10 bar raises the boiling point of water to 180C (~200kwh). Compressing steam into another container can regulate the pressure in the main producing vessel. Though 160kwh can be enough for 3-10 days of heat in a small efficient house, and a larger house can devote more space for water.
Key utility regulations to make intermittent energy valuable
- Time of Use rates is a start, but real key is 3 levels of instant-change rates with large differentials that kick in with the 3 possible states of supply and demand balance/imbalance.
- Restructuring utilities into the 4 profit centers of delivery networks, substations, long-distance transmission, and power generation. Debt of the monolithic utility distributed to each profit center, and all management/administrative layers above the profit centers slimmed down and turned into suppliers to the profit centers. Bankruptcy of legacy power generation assets is a end goal of this process. Delivery networks should be profitable with a $10-$12/month fixed fee (Toronto Hydro charges $33/month). There should be no customer distribution fee (Toronto Hydro 6c/kwh), only a differential between consumer paying rate and producer paid rate.
- Power purchase agreements with producers should be cancelled. Instead paid power is a direct function of consumer charged power rates. Regulator/communities/utilities should agree on 1 to 5 year and longer seasonal forecasts that set minimum (and ideally maximum and expected) power prices for each time of use/supply-demand-balance rates. Promissed forecasts longer than 5 years out would be subject to small adjustments downwards. All promised minimums should be lower than current rates, but inflation is allowed to adjust actual future rates.
- Substation (the interface between local delivery and distance transmission) profit centers are forced to share profits from exports from their substations with the power suppliers that provide that exported energy. Get a fixed fee for providing imported kwh to local delivery network.
- Transmission profit centers charge a fixed fee per kwh-mile(km) transmitted
- Local delivery systems charge a monthly customer fee.
- Residential producers are paid the same rate that would be charged to them if they were consuming at that moment. If their energy is exported by their local substation(s) then the substation fee is deducted, but profit sharing is applied if the energy is exported at a higher rate. Any net credit balance with delivery provider must be convertable to cash (less admin fee)
- Carbon taxes are inclusive of prices paid to producers. (or energy producers costs already include carbon taxes)
Time of Use vs. instant spot rates
Ontario is one of the first markets to adopt time of use rates, but corruptarded sabotage of them defeats their purpose. Daytime rates inclusive of distribution charge are 18.2c/kwh. Night rates are 12.5c and bridge rates are 15.4c. With the high monthly fixed fee, there are very little savings opportunities for consumers to both reduce and shift energy use. For an electric heat pump (COP of 3 for 40C-60C of heat lift 10k btu/kwh) to match the cost of 80% efficient natural gas at $9/mmbtu is 11c/kwh, and so enough winter hours of much lower electricity rates than this are needed to exterminate natural gas use in homes.
Instant spot rates are a simple alternative to direct market negotiated rates at all times. It provides the same benefit with less precision, and 3 simple rate choices (high medium low) makes it easy for software to adjust use based on a utility/regulator/substation signal for which of the 3 rates are in effect, combined with weather forecasts and existing storage levels.
If instant spot rates were adopted in Ontario today, they would likely match the time of use rates and demand peaks associated with day and night consumption cycles, and the static/dispatch production mix. Its renewable supply penetration that will modify the frequency and timing of low rate energy times.
A global standard for 3-rate-spot or TOU system would make it easy for global appliance (and EV) makers to integrate smart charging/consumption based on rate conditions.
weather forecasts would include rate forecasts allowing people to manually schedule some tasks such as laundry/vacuuming.
Utilities' long term rate schedule should include long and near term expectations of the balance of rate applications. As a generality, long term with high solar adoption in Ontario, summer mid day rates should be at low rate, with rest of day at medium rates. A shift that include high rates could occur in extreme heat. In winter, the mix would likely be between mid and high rates, with low rates occurring on mild daytimes.

Renewable energy milestone stages
When renewable energy supply is enough to meet the daytime (or noon) demand on one summer day in a region becomes the Pivotal Renewable historical Surplus Moment (PRSM). Prior to this day, all summer daytime electricity would be priced at the medium (mild days) or high (hot days) rate. After this moment, and with continued renewable supply, rates will sometimes slip to the low level.
It is variable demand sources, and the triple spot rates, that prevents curtailment of surplus renewable power.
Electric utility as a service not a monopolist slaver
The restructuring changes proposed turn the utility profit centers into cost-plus based services. The entire distribution network is paid on a per kwh basis.
The one exception is substations (the interface between local delivery and distance transmission). It becomes incentivized to support as much local production as possible so that situations where low pricing occurs is maximized, and then export (or time shifting with battery) through the substation becomes possible.
Pricing becomes a political process that rewards forecast promises (and keeping them) that lower the long term consumer costs of electricity, while also incentivizing supply additions that are the only possible cause of sustainably lower consumer prices.
An easily achievable, in most regions, 2025 pricing goal for low medium and high rates are 5c 10c and 15c per kwh. In the near term, the important parameter is lowering the medium rate. Most renewable additions will sell profitably at that rate in the near term. The critical aspect of the low rate is that it be at least 3c/kwh lower than the medium rate, because current battery pricing allows a 3c/kwh pricing premium for discharge price less charge cost on a daily battery cycle for break even or profit.
Better than PPA arrangements for producers
Renewable projects throughout the world are receiving multiple bids below 3c/kwh. The cheapest power projects are wind and solar.
With the 2025 pricing goals (5-10-15), renewable providers can make triple the revenue/profits at the medium rate over the next 5-6 years, and higher profits at the low rates, and earn better than the PPA bid rates for next 10 years. Pay back investment quicker than under PPA. Furthermore, investments in storage or an energy balance that favours winter production, can help ensure selling at medium or high rates, when it is cloudy or night, for even greater profit.
A significant benefit for the utility buyer is not having the risk of curtailment that it is responsible for. Encourages seasonal and time of day appropriate production (and producer initiated storage) strategies.

A major problem with utility driven bids for projects of their choosing is the absence of land ownership by the builder/bidder. A significant enhancement to any power project is additional use of the land. That can include buildings, industry or agriculture. Even more perplexing, its typical for projects that include energy storage as part of the bid to use separate land than the solar area for storage. PPAs discourage creativity in generating power along with other uses/income.
Over time, expensive legacy generators close and go bankrupt
By putting all generators on "market spot" rates (the 3 rate system is close enough, but simpler), through its planning schedule, it provides a viability window for expensive legacy generators to wind down, possibly with higher profits during their early viability window. Legacy plants should have paid for themselves by now anyway.
Welcoming all cheaper renewable energy to the grid is going to accelerate the planned price reductions. Shutting down Ontario nuclear doesn't get the multi-billions it cost to build them, but closing them in the face of the next boondogle patch up job is the right move if they cannot foresee paying for the upkeep from the future market rates.
Short term prices that support legacy baseload power will also attract cheaper renewable power. The more that come online, the quicker the planned scheduled cost curve will dip down. A sharply decreasing scheduled cost curve will make electrifying cars and heat (with cheapest intermittent rates) more attractive too, which, through higher demand, will flatten the scheduled cost curve, attracting even more generation to make it decrease again. If, for some reason, renewable power generators don't come online, then rates stay the same, but rates could still be lowered by importing from regions that do allow their prices to fall.
Every city, state, country that has made a 100% clean energy pledge needs simply to adopt this utility reform to get there.
This isn't quite a market system, as it provides near term above-competitive producer profits. But, it is competition based in the long term.
Ontario nuclear boondogles threaten the province's sustainability
Nuclear projects all over the world are causing bankruptcies and sustainability crises by consistently being an average 3x overbudget. Ontario's refurbishing plans are for $12.8B at Darlington (4 reactors) and $13B at Bruce (6 reactors) to try and squeeze another 30 years out of them. OPG needs 8.1c/kwh to recover investment. That is on top of 7.7c/kwh PPA that will be paid to privately held Bruce (which kindly assumes risk for project overruns for the $13B gift), but Darlington is subject to regular budget overruns, with provincial backstop of screwing over rate or tax payers. A real risk for $26B in additional overruns exist, but a 50/50 expectation would be $13B over budget. That would be an expected 16.2c/kwh rate from Darlington power (excluding transmission/delivery). If historical cost overruns are related to safety, then if there are magically no overruns on these projects, then safety concerns are a natural anxiety.
Ontario has existing debt sustainability issues, and this is too much risk. Its also extremely expensive energy that cannot be excused as GDP boosting. Spending the same $39B on cheaper clean energy is more GDP boosting by letting rate/tax payers spend on useful economy, and providing export potential for cheap surplus energy. But renewable energy investments can be encouraged with 0 public spending.
Ontario cancelling all PPAs, while providing near term profit opportunities for generators is the right way to keep existing assets generating in the short term, while providing substantial private sector opportunity to install new generation. An increasing carbon tax schedule ensures no one makes the mistake/miscalculation of adding coal or NG. Dumping public debt on a fair share basis to generators, transmission and delivery and restructuring rates to eliminate absurdly high monthly fee (surcharges of 5.5c/kwh for relatively high 20kwh/day users. 22c/kwh for 5kwh/day users).
In the relatively near term, market forces will move nuclear to winter only generation, and then force it to shutdown, assuming this is implemented before refurbishment grants are handed out, and the decision to refurbish is based on electricity value, and therefore not pursued. It is an assured complete disaster for Ontario to guarantee 30 years of high rates (before cost overruns or emergencies) to nuclear operators.
20c/kwh energy over next 5 years until renewable surpluses accumulate is a significant bargain. The rate is high enough to give private renewable projects up to 30 years of profit in 5 years. It's much less than the road being entrenched over the next 32 years.
Avoiding renewable surplus curtailment is done through low surplus rates, HVAC storage, battery, export, industrial heat dump arrangements, and hydrogen production. Export routes double as import routes, and Quebec energy is already an option. Ontario and northeast in general already have capacity surpluses, but other than Quebec, have few export-valuable energy due to rampant corruptarded abuses of rate and tax payers. Renewable power is not going up in price. Especially solar. Even if panels stay in the $50USD per square meter range, commercial efficiency is going up 20%/year, this year brings affordable commercialization of transparent and bifacial (power from rear) modules, and there is within a couple of years, commercialization of peroskovite layers that can boost efficiency another 40%-50%. Locking in society-collapsing energy rates for 30 years in the face of cheap, and getting cheaper, clean renewable options that are quickly and easily deployed, is something to avoid.
Exporting of surplus energy
The cost of a transmission line, like a battery, depends on its use rate. A solar or wind utility plant that produces 4-6 hours per day costs 4-6x more for transmission than a 24 hour legacy plant. An export-purposed transmission line might only average 2 hours/day use. Transmission lines cost between $2.50 to $0.75 per kw-mile. Based on size. with 400MW the smallest at $2.50/kw-mile. 3GW AC is $1/kw-mile. Though HVDC can be as low as $0.50/kw-mile, it needs extra expensive equipment at the substations, and so the $0.75/kw-mile figure is used to standardize this. At the equator, an east-west transmission line of 1000 miles offsets 1 sun hour. At 45N (southern Canada), the distance is just 738 miles. A 738 mile trade line producing at least 2 hours of traffic/day (10 am import from east, 2pm export from west) at $1/kw-mile and 10 year payback has a cost/price of $0.10/kwh/738 miles. Much better utilization is possible if far spread out wind resources kick in in one region but not the other, and solar resources further east and further west also pass through the segment. In fact, a transcanada high voltage trade line could get 8 hours/day of use with Nova Scotia 10am-2pm peak solar powering the mornings of the west, and BC peak solar powering the afternoons of the east. This provides a payback price of $0.025/kwh/738 miles for electricity distributed the full length of the line, but higher profits when distributed shorter intermediate distances. This price provides export incentive for the low to medium or medium to high rate directions, and incentive for more capacity along the transnational line... ie everywhere.
Trading transmission lines also provide resiliency value. "Baseload" (or storage managed renewables) power operating at medium rate/balanced-demand-supply in one region can bail out a region operating in high/scarce rate conditions. Shorter (better economics) lines can be deployed the further north they are. High energy availability can support additional development of (northern) Canada. Shorter east-west lines up north (with very low right of way costs) can better provide a missing continental interconnection that supports the existing north/south trade routes with the US, more easily than providing that interconnection through the US (due to densely populated NIMBY complainers). The resilience value can justify federal subsidy of an east/west trading line. Resilience + export profit opportunities justify connecting your home to the grid even if you can be self sufficient 99% of the time. It is also an opportunity to buy imported energy cheaper than available from domestic providers. A combination of federal subsidies, "taxes" on exporter profits, hydro,geothermal, wind and USA resources pushing utilization close to 20 hours/day (this utilization rate alone is sufficient) can bring pricing down to $0.01/kwh/738 miles. Wind typically produces at a capacity factor equivalent to 6-8 full hours/day. With battery storage that avoids transmitting during peak solar hours, these resources can add that 6-8 hours of export utilization, and wind resources 738 miles away can have uncorelated production that allows reverse exports, and meeting the total additional 12 hours of electric trade.
Yet, it is difficult to create the trade network fully formed. Instead, a surplus must be created in one region to motivate that regions drive for export routes. Renewables provide bidirectional electricity trade opportunities, and it is with balanced trade that the transmission/trade costs are halved.
Hydrogen as energy export solution
Hydrogen MW-scale electrolyzers are quickly dropping in cost to $500/kw (recent sale at $477/kw), and take 44kwh DC to produce 1kg of hydrogen, which using a fuel cell provides as much vehicle power/range as 2 gallons of gasoline in regular engine. For 7 year payback 4 hour per day production, would require a $2.15/kg premium to "profit from" for the electrolyzer. So, solar is not a great match for hydrogen. Wind with a battery buffer and 8 hour/day production, and accepting a 14 year payback (20+ year electrolyzer life), then only a 13.4c/kg premium need be added for low profit, if the main goal is to export energy. With 3c/kwh electricity cost (typical PPA rate that requires AC conversion equipment and energy losses), this translates (before storage/distribution costs) to $1.454/kg. Under $0.73/gallon-gasoline-equivalent-range. This makes sense to dedicate wind projects, especially remote ones, to direct hydrogen production. Settlements and industry can be created around wind projects. Large single 6MW+ (10MW and soon 12MW options exist) near shore turbines can be tied directly to electrolyzers on barges or shore, and solve the power delivery costs associated with off shore or remote wind systems.
At 5c/kwh (target next decade municipal surplus-low rate) Hydrogen produced at a filling station could be priced at $2.47/kg ($2.20 electricity + 27c "overhead"/profit). Equivalent to $1.23/gallon-gasoline. Operating at 10c/kwh rate would add another $1.10/gallon, but reduce overhead as electrolyzer would be used much more often. Additional profit could be made with (hydrogen and battery) storage, and pricing based on 10c/kwh electricity (even if a mix of 5c and 10c/kwh energy is used at filling station). Vehicle operating costs would still be less than gasoline, but a carbon (or other gasoline) tax, would quickly accelerate the hydrogen economy and bring costs down even faster.
Trading transmission lines also provide resiliency value. "Baseload" (or storage managed renewables) power operating at medium rate/balanced-demand-supply in one region can bail out a region operating in high/scarce rate conditions.

Vehicle operating costs would still be less than gasoline, but a carbon (or other gasoline) tax, would quickly accelerate the hydrogen economy and bring costs down even faster.
For utility scale renewable projects that are grid connected, devoting some resources to hydrogen might allow them to divert some surplus production to hydrogen for the explicit purpose of maximizing the amount of electricity they can sell at the medium or high power price. Essentially manipulating the market by diverting their production to self use. If the market price of hydrogen rises in summer driving season to match rise in solar production, diverting more electricity to hydrogen may make sense.
MW-scale Hydrogen electrolyzers are mobile container sized (1.5MW) units that can be quickly set up, chained together, and moved/sold elsewhere. In addition to exporting fuel from northern summer hemisphere to southern hemisphere, seasonal trade in electrolyzers also make sense where summer energy surpluses exist. Canadian summer solar potential, with stabilizing battery and solar trackers, can support over 10 hours of hydrogen production per day, long enough to efficiently amortize the capital costs of an electrolyzer "rented" for 6 months before it is shipped off to Argentina for the winter.
Promising near commercial hydrogen technology is SOFC cells. This would match better with renewables, and grid connections, because an advantage is that they are reversible (turning hydrogen into heat and electricity). Being used more hours per day increases their value, and the value of the electric transmission line they feed into, and the value of a solar/wind electric and hydrogen powered ship that can generate fuel from the same equipment as its "motor".
For hydrogen to compete with natural gas ($9/mmbtu delivered) as heating fuel, it would need to cost $1/kg. Made from 2c/kwh electricity. A carbon tax is needed for hydrogen to take on this role given distribution costs, though 2c/kwh or lower electricity costs from renewables are an eventuality, especially under current curtailment pricing models. Since heating fuel is needed in winter, it would need to be imported from summer hemisphere surpluses operating on the 10+ hour scheme in previous paragraph, or with a continued substantial drop in electrolyzer equipment costs. Hydrogen storage made with surplus electricity costs could be used more efficiently than gasoline/diesel.
Hydrogen is competitive with battery efficiency if its purpose is combined-heat-and-power (CHP). Innexpensive, very similar to propane, generators can be run indoors without ventilation with 25% electric, and 75% heat efficiency, and free humidity. Fuel cells are only needed when electric power is essential, though a converted natural gas plant can beat that efficiency at large scale. Combined heat and power generally needs a distribution network though. I believe ammonia to be the best density boosting hydrate, but there is no near term move to using it as a hydrogen carrier.
One misguided analysis of California's 2015-2018 curtailment of renewables shows that a hydrogen system that uses curtailed energy as both daily and seasonal shifting to produce grid electricity on demand is cheaper than a battery system that handles just daily shifting, assuming a 0 curtailment goal. At a cost of $538M in hydrogen systems. A far better hydrogen system that saves $356M from proposal is to sell the hydrogen as vehicle fuel, but if it produces too much, California's curtailment is concentrated in winter, while Canada's power deficits would also be in winter, and transmission line trade would help both.
Yet the main point of this paper is that curtailment can be eliminated for free through demand shifting. Consumers will pay the price for equipment that facilitates shifting and be rewarded with cheaper energy, even as producers expand unconstrained. Utilities/Government obtaining electrolyzers to handle surpluses above and beyond the matching demand shifting can cope would be a profitable way to cope with surpluses. Especially when the current alternative is paying other regions for dumping power. As future curtailment is constrained, mobile electrolyzers can be sold off.
Complaints about the wealth generated from exports are possible when the result is higher domestic energy prices. Quebec is a large electricity exporter (Hydro power), and their utility is very well managed. Where export profits subsidize domestic rates is a formula for political support for exports. High utilization of export transmission lines from steady hydro power means greater support for additional intermittent export power and pumped hydro (reverse some existing turbines) storage that can keep export lines full 24/7.
Dependence on transmission imports gives your suppliers extortion power. But connecting to multiple regions not only ensures competition among suppliers, but furthermore lets you pass through exports from one region to another. Where imports including transmission overhead is cheaper than domestic options, it should be popular.
The money side of politics supports enslaving you to existing expensive energy supply, limiting all new supply, and extending immediate incumbent profits no matter how small over any future social costs no matter how large. Ontario's financial sustainability depends on bankrupting/restructuring its energy monopolies.
The power of monopolies is not limited to extortion-level profit margins. Regulatory authorities that approve every corruptarded cost proposal allow profit inflation from the higher cost base. Relying on the monopolies to increase supply and drive down costs and consumer prices is also a poor regulatory model. The distribution utilities must be entirely separated from power generation assets, and the utilities must be compelled to accept new connection projects.
The politics of a carbon tax and dividend are great because it is only the most hopelessly retarded who will listen to the moneyed opposition to such a plan. The vast majority gain from the plan, as the average energy use (total use/popupation) is higher than the median (the 50%tile user) energy use. Politically, a small start makes sense to prove the popular net cash gain from dividend over tax, and increases the appetite for more gains through higher carbon taxes.
The politics of aspiring to 100% (or other % target) renewable economy are pretty empty without a concrete plan/steps to achieve the goal. It does keep the moneyed opposition silent and innactive without concrete steps to generate lies against.
A far more useful and unifying "poltical promise" is to promise specific lower consumer rates over the near and far terms through deployment of renewables that disrupt existing expensive energy systems and monopolies. Making it profitable for new generation to disrupt legacy polluters. Generate massive employment and tax revenue by new generation costs and profits, and more taxes and profits from exporting surpluses to neighbours and the world. Providing cheap energy to others discourages them from making their own all the while enriching you. Providing 120 Qwh/year to the world at 3c/kwh from your lands would generate $360B in annual revenue. The costs can all be privatized, with government simply enabling it.
Residential/Commercial/Farm power plants - Power pyramid
This section is about engineering guidelines that allow dense urban deployment of solar power focused on geography of southern Canada and North East and Great Lakes area of US. The recommendations could raise aesthetic and shadowing objections, but these are also addressed.
Ontario has lots of trees that go up 2 to 3 stories. It has a solar apex of under 30 degrees in winter and over 60 degrees in summer Solar noon in Toronto is around 12:30 EST in winter and 13:30 DST in summer.
The general principles behind the power plant design is a pyramid-like shape made similarly to lattice towers that hold windmills or power transmission lines. The south face is at the ideal winter power angle for Toronto of 60 degrees (or 58 = 43+ 15). In the example property, a slightly more than 7m (24ft) wide south frontage is used. If the foundations for the base (4 corners of property) are not elevated, then 4m depth or more of "front yard" allows the pyramid to clear a 6m tall (at roof edge) 2 story house.

Because the two neighbouring pyramids have a 6m gap at the top, at 7:30am on equinox (March 21), a 2m high strip is exposed to the sun. Enough for 3.6kw of solar panels (10m long strip) with strong incidence to the sun to generate power. Approximately the same area down the front of the pyramid is exposed facing the sun, and the whole front of pyramid is exposed, but it is at a poor angle.

The front side of pyramids have rows of solar panels start just high enough to let winter sunshine onto the front of the house.beneath them. In this example, the rectangular front section is 7.5m high, and would have 49 sq.m (0.5m of gaps) of panels. The triangular/trapezoidal section has 1m width at top, so another 49 sq.m in top section, and say 42 sq.m on side section (repeated on other side for afternoon. 140 sq.m available in mornings and afternoon. 25.2kw.

By having 1/3 or so of production on east/west face, total 9am production is 40% higher than noon production. More panels may be cheaper than a tracking array with similar overall production. Edge of day production allows resilience to cloudy periods (light clouds cause 1/3 power loss, moderately heavy rain clouds cause 2/3 solar loss), allows early battery charging that can permit greater than 1 cycle per day, and allow heavy heating and cooling loads to start earlier and last longer which permits undersizing the equipment. The most important factor though applies to sharing power (next section).

The 5-10-15 pricing plan can be 2-6-10 in summer
A solar dominated 100% renewable economy always produces way too much power on sunny summer days. Enough to generate 3 days worth of cooling. Hydrogen and transmission exports are necessary, but even then a 2nd sunny day in a row will drive electricity prices to 2c/kwh or lower during midday peaks. Even with the bulk of annual generated power coming on sunny summer days, and peak prices hitting 1c/kwh, producers can average close to 4c/kwh with battery storage. Make more on cloudy days than sunny days. Target edge of day and winter generation.
Seasonal mobilization of hydrogen electrolyzers is enhanced when the right amount of renewable electricity is enough to get through winter, and seasonal surpluses/spikes create some 1c or 2c/kwh energy.
Many other applications/opportunities are generated with periodic 1-2c/kwh energy. Another that puts a floor on energy prices, and simultaneously makes generation cheaper is LED-growlight agriculture. The above power pyramid is suitable for pasture land without growlights, but spring and summer shading/light can enhance the growing season with peak summer midday solar output.
The key to renewable energy is multi-use of land while producing power close to where it is used. A pyramid allows densely packed high structures with plenty of room for activities below.
Wind and other uses from the pyramid
The reason for the 1m lip at the top of the pyramid is not only to accomodate the width of one solar panel, but also to form a 1 square meter chimney. A vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) is placed at the apex of the pyramid. Up to 15kw. 4-5m/s average wind speed (for region) may be enough in an urban environment, because the tower is already built. The pyramid creates a mountain-top enhancing wind effect, and the chimney, warmed by solar panels, creates an updraft further enhancing wind production. A faster than windspeed but self starting helical blade design seems like the best performance and weight design. For urban environment with mediocre wind conditions (5 m/s), a 5kw VAWT tends to have current pricing advantages over larger models, and are light weight, allowing for thinner pyramid structure, and smaller electronics to support power. For rural and utility pyramids, Horizontal axis turbines are cheaper (about half), and scale up easily, and rural areas need less consideration for noise or turbulence.
Advantages of tower design over roof mounted solar is that the tower is independent from the life of the roof, and bifacial solar technology can be used (back of panel produces power). Snow and white painted roof should boost production 30%-40%. Its also permits "solar fencing" on both sides (east/west facing) of the property with a single panel producing both morning and afternoon. A 3 instead of 4 leg pyramid with the 3rd leg centered north, could use a single "shark fin" of panels on the north leg to capture both east and west sunlight.
To reduce lower structure wind load from north side light plastic cold low pressure tanks could be placed on rafters on the north side to serve as gravity feed for liquid coolant that would cool through evaporation in the buildings below. Evaporated gas would be fed through heat pump to heat water, in system from first section of paper, and cooled gas flowing at moderate pressure back to tank(s) where it would liquify as it expands. Vapour pressure release from these tanks could further cool solar panels boosting their efficiency another 10%.
Solving the power transmission problem with pyramid solar/wind towers
The lattice towers can be built wider and taller with more support legs. The wider, the lower the wind load. Cloth if shade is not a concern, or clear plastic coverings where there are no solar panels can deflect wind up towards the wind turbine.
50m above the treeline pyramid at a 60 degree slope with a 50m wide base + 4m trapezoidal top (54m total width) provides a 1686 sq.m south facing surface area. 303kw DC power of solar. Perhaps 400kw with bifacial. With enough east/west panels, 6-8 hours/day could be generated per tower. 300kw of wind from same tower also over 6 hours/day = 4.2MWh/day if both are 6 hours each. With 16 towers per mile, all carrying power transmission cables on their north sides = 67.2Mwh/day. But if a full land corridor must be acquired, why not 30 per mile = 126 MWh/day. At 1c/kwh profit over 10000 day payback period, $1260k/mile of cost deferment. This is without any lower section that is rectangular rather than triangular/trapazoidal.
Previous section on grid transmission came up with a 2.5c/768mile transmission fee based on $1/kwh-mile capital costs, and 3000 mile transcanada transmission line. The fee can be halved if 3GW HVDC transmission is used. Solar and batteries produce DC. Wind produces more if it is DC. Power pyramids would cut costs a further 80% to 0.24c/768 mile transmission. A 3000 mile route would generate 378 Gwh/day. 138Twh/year is over 0.1% of global energy consumption. 25% of Canada's current electric consumption.
There are several transmission options that cost less than $1260k/mile. But smaller circuits can't carry all of the generated power. Even at 3GW, 300kw peak power output from pyramid would mean that 10000 linked pyramids (333 miles) would fill the transmission line. So lower density of pyramids, or much higher voltage/capacity of line would be needed. Very high battery storage wouldn't help as 378 Gwh/day is over 15 Gwh/hour. 5 times higher than capacity. An obvious option is multiple lines. China has up to 12GW HVDC. Quebec has significant expertise. If there needs to be more space for multiple lines/capacity, we'll just need a bigger pyramid, or side kick extention towers. Another option is large hydrogen electrolysis sinks along the route that would absorb any overcapacity on one edge of the line, and produce hydrogen with it, or feed an undercapacity on other edge of line.
Solar friggin roadways and solar tents
An easier structure to build than a pyramid is a tent. Straight support legs are joined in a 2d angle.
Solar roadways have had some attention. There is no real potential behind them due to wear, expense and low efficiency. Building solar tents over highways and railways however has significant power generation potential. 20m length of panels on just one side of roads, at 900m per km density and just 3 hours/day production would be 10Mwh/km/day of production.
Rural electrification
In light density rural areas, (still more than one customer), delivering electricity costs 70c/kwh (lost source). Ontario provides rural customers with subsidies at both the utility level, and as a tax credit for northern residents. Very small tent/pyramids are needed to make a home self sufficient. Larger if EVs or electric farm equipment is needed. An EV makes great backup power system as well.
Instead of subsidies or expensive delivery service, loan programs to provide cheap off-grid (and community organized micro grid) electricity and heating systems, would drastically reduce taxpayer, urban, and the benefitting rural customers costs. Subsidies makes rural NIMBY scum oppose renewable energy projects because they don't realize the necessity of using all of their open space for clean energy if they get it subsidized.
Cost target of pyramids vs utility scale single axis trackers
NREL puts the total 2018 cost of 100MW utility one axis (generally flat but tilt east/west) tracked solar at $1.11/watt with 35c/watt modules. $370/kw in structural, installation, and engineering overhead is assumed. $30k/MW is assigned for land. With 330W panels, this is 7 acres/MW, and so an assumed cost of $4300/acre. NREL's estimates apply to southern US. Probably desert, but at least unforested land. Tracking has higher benefits in southern lattitudes and summer as well, as a result of flat angle.
A single axis horizontal tracker has a thick central pole in deep foundation. 2 rows of panels, and 12 panels per foundation. They have a 5-10 year service/replacement for motor and structure repairs.
Power pyramids use a total of just 4 foundations, about the same amount of metal per solar panel, and likely the best assembly technique is to build 4 sides on the ground with bracings and panels attached, then use 2 cranes to first place the steeper east/west sides then the other 2. Alignment guides would be part of the foundation. Followed by a bolting/bracing/laddering system manually added to each of the 4 corners. Tension cables can be drawn from opposing sides to a foundation post can enhance wind resistance.
There's potential to standardize angles without standardizing height of the pyramid. Top sections need less thick steel/aluminum than bottom ones, and so thicker and thicker sections are added to make taller pyramids. 2 standards to allow for narrower urban pyramids with small light wind turbine, and wider rural/utility transmission pyramids to support larger wind make sense. Top sections should connect to either continued angle bottom sections or rectangular sections. Parts for all sections can be premade for tight shipping and easy field assembly.
The general cost optimization formula is to do the most work in factory, easy shipping, ground field work, then elevated field work. The above involves standard measurement factory parts, and relatively simple field work except for precision piling foundation positions and height. Perhaps some field welding over a foundation platform with a few inches of leeway is needed.
A power pyramid (or series of them) in forested area should cost less than a typical utility solar installation in desert. At a 60 degree angle in Toronto ON, each watt of solar will generate (4.34 hours/day) 39.6kwh over 25 years. $1.19/watt installation cost is 3c/kwh. For a 25kw solar urban power pyramid to match the $400US in structural and land costs of utility, $10k in structural costs are needed to match. I hope that under $6000 in steel or aluminum can be used, that 6 workers and 2 cranes can do the job in one day for $4000. Pilings and foundations are $2000 when shared with neighbours.
The costs are higher already, and an extra $3000-$5000 may apply. At $1.60/watt (4c/kwh) target, from $1.11/watt utility reference, there can be $22400 structural budget, and savings exist if 10kw wind turbine is under $16k (smaller mass produced VAWTs are under $1/watt). Electrical and panel installation savings exist from doing all work on the ground, including the potential for using larger/heavier panels. As of this writing, panels from China are as low as 20c/watt, so $3750 in additional savings there, if importing a full container. And, all of a sudden, $10k in savings appear to get back to the 3c/kwh-$1.20/watt target.
For residential/urban systems, the payoff is entirely measured by the ability to sell surplus electricity for cash not credit. Though, if forced to be off grid, savings include no utility bills, and no furnace. Society's energy prices and global warming mitigation contributions are significantly enhanced by allowing residences to produce and share as much renewable power as they wish. Net zero billing is unacceptably inadequate.
Issues with power pyramid in urban settings
Wind turbines are banned in Toronto and many other cities. The reason is noise and aesthetics. The power pyramid puts the wind turbine very high up. Not visible to neighbours and from far away, is not any uglier than a sailboat. VAWT's are also quieter than horizontal wind turbines, and they only make noise when its windy. So do nearby trees and windows. Banning all noisy and stinky cars and trucks on noise issues would be more relevant, and so VAWTs very high up should not be banned.
Aesthetically, the only part of the power pyramid at eye level are the foundations. About 2 stories high setback close to house starts solar panels. Pyramids are generally majestic, and a front facade in shinny panels sleek looking. Very thick expensive polished steel coming from the foundation enhance both aesthetics and sturdiness. Stone veneer on foundations can create impressive columns, and the heavy metal connection pile driven into "cement" can have ornamental elements included on installation guide paths, and as mechanisms (spirals) for tension cables. Matching metal gates between the columns, and robotic gun turrets, can keep complaining HOA/neighbours in their place. Aesthetic additions don't count towards the power production costs, but can increase home/property value, and if so, aren't an actual cost.
Foundations any where near anywhere that can have a fast driving car need crash protection. A buffered rounded stone veneered concrete base can provide that protection.
Power pyramids do create shading on neighbours. The tall and narrow design illustrated in this paper minimizes that shading, but the concept of solar rights should exist. This is easily settled by those who infringe on neighbour's solar rights accept a property tax increase equal to neighbours property tax decreases. High rises built in front of other buildings should adopt this principle as well. Building projects usually assume their solar and view access will be permanent, and it makes sense that first movers- those who initially squatted on the solar/view access- have a higher compensation threshold when the access is lost, than those who knowingly settle in a position where access is already restricted.
Legislation that minimizes court involvement, could in addition to adjusting property taxes on neighbours might also "mandate" electricity sharing. If there are limits to the delivery network's capacity to absorb residential generated power, then placing additional lines to neighbours from power pyramids can bypass the main grid. For instance, if a first power pyramid assumed it would have an east solar access for eternity, an east neighbour putting up a power pyramid could buy some of the first neighbour's now useless panels, and put up a sharing connection wire to supply morning electricity to first neighbour. First neighbour could also sell afternoon electricity to east neighbour. If a new west neighbour' power pyramid shows up, then first neighbour gets a connection to that power pyramid, and a network of 3. One importance of utilities providing service at a reasonable flat monthly charge, is that this network of 3 doesn't all require a utility connection. A spontaneous micro grid can exist in parallel to utility monopoly, though it can make more sense, if utility is unresponsive, for communities to dispossess the utility of its delivery network subjugating them. NIMBY protests that successfully block a construction proposal that does not threaten their lives/health should result in a property tax increase on the protesters for protecting something they clearly value.
Zoning restrictions for low rise buildings are principally made for density and traffic reasons. Power pyramids do not affect these. Power pyramids over low rise buildings can enable urban communities to power themselves including high rise and industrial power. Allowing power pyramids directly reduces the electricity/energy costs of a community, and increases the land value of the community: Lower property taxes on neighbours and lower energy costs increase the value of those properties more than aesthetic disturbances decrease those property values. Power generation savings and revenue will increase the value of power pyramid holding properties more than property tax increases depress them. In addition to energy savings, cleaner air and massive employment opportunities related to construction of power pyramids and new HVAC systems would further substantially increase the desirability of a city and its land values/property tax base.
Advantages of Power pyramids
- Completely independent land use below the pyramid. Can tear down and build without disturbing pyramid/power system. Ample access beneath it. Land use can include nature preserves.
- More solar energy production at 45th parallel (Ottawa) per area than in southern US or equator. (though southern US can produce even more by matching 60 degree angle)
- Supplemental wind energy. Savonius-type VAWTs can have very high wind speed (storm) survival/production rates, and generally have high torque that can be matched to a more efficient than electrical motor fluid compression engine that would pair well with a heat pump system, and be easier to integrate the full power range of the turbine.
- Space for additional rafters to hold anything, but in particular, gravity fed (no electricity) cooling systems that rely on a cold liquid evaporating in the space to be cooled. Offset of any building roof's weight capacity limits.
- Reduced snow load ratings and weathering of building roofs. Flat roof with recreation space options.
- Sufficient power generation for self sufficient energy needs of 3 floors of any space contained under the pyramid including winter heating needs, and EV charging.
- Sufficient surplus potential to power any community of normal density.
- Most current solar panels come with a guarantee of retaining 80%+ power after 25 years. 25 years is the life expectancy of a roof. There is little reason to rush replacing/removing panels just because they are 80% or 60% of their original capacity, and so on pyramids, would likely be left up for the full life of the structure. BPA utility has lattice towers where most are 40-70 years old, and in 2012 were assessed as having greater than 20 year life remaining. Estimated lifespand for transmission towers is 100 years.
Mutual reinforcement of 3 policies advocated in this paper
Utilities that focus on cost/price reduction schedule with 3 price points that affect consumer and producer prices simultaneously is the key enabler for the other 2 projects: intermittent HVAC/water energy, and power pyramid structures.
Restructuring/bankrupting those utilities that cannot offer an affordable price decrease schedule, is the best way to transform service into a utility that can. By shedding debt related to nuclear or other legacy boondogles, and rural rate subsidies, and eliminating all power asset holdings from any influence in network power increases will put the network/utility in a position to drive down prices. The only way to bring down consumer prices is to welcome and connect all new power generation. Pay its customers who generate more than they consume. The proper attitude is impossible to maintain while owning power generation assets, and especially impossible to accept proper carbon taxation policies if their power generation portfolio is affected.
A pricing schedule that declines over time is great for consumers. A slow decline rewards early adopter producers who can rake in high early year, especially daytime, profits. Expansion of the power generation network occurs without utility capital investments in power generation or promises to generators, other than their long term rate schedule. It is permissible for utilities to own power pyramids on their transmission network, because they require suppliers on the same network to justify the transmission network.
A significant gap between low mid and high electric rates incentivizes storage, including HVAC systems that match the intermittency of low prices. Increase the value of EVs who will be able to arbitrage between rates, likely to the point of making more than their fuel costs.
The availability of cheap intermittent rates will spur hydrogen infrastructure (essential for heavy transport and industrial heat) and electricity export/trade routes where if trade partners can either match renewable production expanding both partners' resiliency or submit to dominance by the renewable power center.
Society at large will see, through lower rates, rather than mitigation of climate destruction, the advantages of decarbonization, and be more welcoming/understanding of the need to permit more generation in cities, and more transmission lines.
Denialism of climate destruction, is a discussion avoidance tactic, but the real issues that don't get addressed by climate scientists when a discussion does occur, is that the side that wants to keep you enslaved to existing expensive dirty energy supplies will lie that measures to keep the planet habitable are a threat to the economy or jobs. While the jobs can change, disrupting expensive dirty energy with cheaper cleaner energy is economically constructive. So is a carbon tax and dividend to accelerate the disruptive investments to free you from monopolists.
The winning argument for climate change is a winning economic argument led by a utility sector (or more likely their regulators) that provides a declining energy cost roadmap.
