Imfuno yombane engazange ibonwe ngaphambili Impembelelo yobukrelekrele bokwenziwa kunye nokukhula kwelifu kukhokelele uGoogle ukuba athathe elinye inyathelo kwiqhinga lakhe lamandla: ukuguqukela kwi imodyuli yesixhobo senyukliya isayizi encinci ye ukuqinisekisa unikezelo oluqhubekayo kunye nekhabhoni ephantsi ngaphandle kweziseko zayo.
Inkampani iqinisekisile ukuba iprojekthi Hermes 2 e-Oak Ridge, eTennessee iya kunika i-50 megawatts (MW) ukuqala kwi-2030, njengenxalenye yentsebenziswano neKairos Power kunye ne-Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Le ntshukumo yinxalenye yokusasazwa okukhulu apho uGoogle ajonge ukongeza ukuya kuthi ga kwi-500 MW usebenzisa i-6 okanye i-7 SMRs kule minyaka ilishumi izayo.
Yintoni esele ibhengeziwe kwaye isivumelwano siya kusebenza njani
Undoqo wesibhengezo ngu isivumelwano sokuthenga amandla (PPA) phakathi kweKairos Power kunye ne-TVA eluncedo. Ngaphantsi kwesi sikimu, i-TVA iya kufumana umbane owenziwe nguHermes 2 kwaye uGoogle uya kuthenga umbane ngokusebenzisa i-utility. 24/7 iimpawu zamandla acocekileyo ukunika amandla amaziko ayo edatha kwingingqi.
Umbane uya kudityaniswa kwigridi iTennessee Valley Authority, ezimiselwe izixhobo zikaGoogle kumazantsi mpuma e-US, kubandakanya iMontgomery, Tennessee, kunye neJackson, iingingqi ze-Alabama, ezithanda unikezelo lwasekhaya kunye noluzinzileyo.
UHermes 2 uya kuzisa okokuqala I-50 MW, iqhezu lemfuno eqikelelweyo yekhampasi yeziko ledatha. Ngokwezicwangciso ezinxibeleleneyo, iGoogle kunye namaqabane ayo aya kuhambisa phakathi iireactor ezintandathu nezisixhenxe ukufikelela malunga nama-500 MW malunga no-2035, ngoko ke kubandakanywa inxalenye enkulu yeemfuno zombane kule ndawo.
Imihla ebekiweyo yeprojekthi, amanani kunye nobubanzi
I-reactor yokuqala yeprogram icwangciselwe u-2030, kunye nokusasazwa okulandelayo kude kube malunga no-2035. Ngaphaya koko, eli nyathelo limele inyathelo elibalulekileyo kwinkampani eluncedo e-United States kurhwebo lobuchwepheshe benyukliya obuphezulu.
Umongo unceda ukuqonda ukungxamiseka: kukho ngaphezu Amaziko eenkcukacha ze-11.000 emhlabeni kwaye sele kudla ngokujikeleza I-4% yombane wehlabathiE-United States, imfuno inokuphindaphindeka kathathu phakathi kuka-2023 kunye no-2030, okuya kufuna malunga I-47 elongezelelweyo GW yomthamo wesizukulwana esitsha, ngokoqikelelo lwemarike.
Umthamo ekujoliswe kuwo wesivumelwano, ngeenxa zonke I-500 MW, isondele ekusetyenzisweni malunga ne-350.000 yamakhaya aqhelekileyo kunye kunciphisa i-carbon footprint yeenkonzo zefu kunye ne-AI yomthwalo wemisebenzi, efuna amandla rhoqo kwaye kuqikelelwe usuku lonke.
Ezinye iinkampani zetekhnoloji nazo zijonga iinketho simahla kwizinto ezikhutshwayo ngqo kumaziko ayo edatha, anezivumelwano namandla enyukliya akhoyo okanye acwangcisiweyo, ukongeza kubuchwepheshe obutsha, rhoqo ngenjongo yokuqinisekisa unikezelo oluqinileyo ngokuhambelana nezinto ezihlaziyiweyo.
