Thinking about our Masterplan..

The next step for us will be to work towards a masterplan of how to engage with the people of Shannon Town to be more energy efficient.

Our neighbours in Cratloe just published their 43 page plan at:
What I think would be brilliant is if ESB Networks would provide SECs occasional actual supply/generation data from their network.

Field trial of the 1KW (2.4KWh) power station begins

Dropped off the 1KW (2.4KWh) power station with Essam today to get measurements of how much electricity his food truck uses. He would like to purchase an 2000W 1500Wh power station so he can run lights/fridge/etc. when he's off-grid. https://iallpowers.com/products/allpowers-2000w-portable-power-station https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cScqnOofMRQ So be collecting and analysing the measurements from today should say whether this is possible :) It look likes the van uses less than 40W for lighting and another 300W whenever the fridge compressor kicks in. But I will have detailed info from the sqlite3 database when I retrieve the unit at the end of the day :) Only just portable! Safe home again! After a grand day out :) So the unit was deployed at around 13:30 and removed around 16:30 so around three hours of data. Essam had been there since 12:00 or so so the fridge had 90 mins to cool its contents. Here, is the graph for the power drawn during that time: It can be seen that time on ...

Looking at Shannon Town public bodies self-reported energy use

Interesting data, most residential homes would use 10 units a day (4MWh per annum) and Shannon Airport (40,000 units per day / 13,000MWh per annum) https://www.seai.ie/.../seai.../key-statistics/residential/
