Ok, I get your point, but some things you need to consider are:

1. Cost of power generation

2. Timing of power generation

3. Low and Peak of power generation

4. Power generation vs Power storage vs Power consumption

5. Single source power generation vs multiple source power generation

I'm trying to explain this whole thing in the simplest form because the explanation might be very long, but just to let you know one major challenge in the power sector is power generation that is why many people in Nigeria have a generator and not a storage for power, so what you should be targeting more is power generation over power storage.

Power storage is good but should only act as a backup when power generation is at a low or totally down, Using solar to power a pumping machine to drive water up a tank would require a very huge solar system, but you need to consider

1. The sunlight , if it's a rainy day or cloudy day, you might not even have enough power to do all of that for that day.

2. Night fall, you will always have to wait till daylight.

3. If your hydro system requires so much more power to get water into the tank than what it generates back to your home and then the amount of water that will be needed to keep it generating till there is enough sun to send water back and if the amount of water required for that is so much that your solar system might not be able to meet up to that demand of water since your only source of generating power is through solar.

What you should do is to increase the sources of your power generation by adding wind turbine with your solar panels, that way you have 2 sources of power and then you can focus less on the storage of the power, because if your consumption of power exceeds the generation of your power even with a storage, it will black out, but with 2 sources you will hardly have a downtime, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have storage like batteries, but you will focus less on it because you will have a more constant power generation that will require less storage.

Clean energy generation is something that is not constant in terms of the energy it produces all the time(as at now), so the best way is to have different sources to make it more constant.

It's just like asking you

1. Would you prefer to eat once a day without knowing the quantity of food that will be brought to you or

2. Would you prefer to eat twice a day without still knowing the quantity of food that will be brought to you

I will go for number 2 because it is more constant whether big or small rather than number 1 which does not also guaranty big or small too.
Though there are still a whole lot of technical explanation involved but I am just trying to minimize all that and explain in the simplest form.

Aptly put. You're right to certain degree cos to get good enough head on the system, I'll need minimal of 35feet
By my calculations, that will be 11 solar panels to generate enough power to power a surface pump to pump water back to my tank.
Wind ..... Don't know, I don't live close to the coast. Instead I would rather supplement with phcn in pumping the water

[quote author=Brendaniel post=114802601]Is this a project you want to try out or you just want to have the knowledge about it?[/qpuote]

Not now tho, just love the knowledgeable and the fact that its a natural battery system.
Power is a issue in our country. My ish is the type of solar panel that can power your home and still pump water to an overhead tank that serves as batteries.

please have any one try storing electric power using hydro system? For example, you have solar panels installed and instead of using lithium batteries to store power, you can use the excess power to pump water back to a overhead tank.
Now this stored water can be released when there's no sunlight to power the solar panel, the released water is made to run through a turbine that spin a generator that produce electricity. mostly at night.
please experts in the house, what amount of solar panel can power a surface pump and still have enough power to power a home.


lalaticlala, seun mynd other modes can you guys pleaseee. we let's have some productive discussion .

Dangers of a single story...

Judging by the write-up too Mr Husband you stopped your wife from working on the basis of the 20k monthly you pay her for business startup, and you still feel entitled to that money... Yes It hurts that she didn't give you the needed support then, but then it's not your entitlement.

Perhaps look at things from another POV too. if she obliged your request then and business didn't go as planned, mind you, you ve been incurring losses prior to that, you will both be on a sinking ship.

Better salvage what's left of your marriage, the devil is a busy man.

you should have stayed silent.

Winter03:
What she went through is sad. Imagine if you grew up knowing your father never wanted you but a girl child. And he beat you a lot for that. It's abuse. And yes, her father is a monster.

She needs to move on and heal. But you should be sensitive enough to understand her. She's still hurt. You beat her for that and you're no better than her father.

But it's a good thing you left. She would find someone better who would help her let go of the past and live.

" someone better" like you right?
baba don Bob baba don Bob. let the matter rest.

You are daft ,take the job .Always say yes to every job and then resign after you get another job

look at who isn't daft.

charly20:
Swap fees is the cost for doing business na . You wan use another person platform make profit and you no wan pay commission?

The swap fees is not even up to 1% of the profit from your trades. And it's only a small addition to your losses

boss Charles I know you have to pay commission, and it's different from swap fee. swap fee keep increasing daily on my open trade.
I question is; how do you manage the interest minded swap fee.

please o swing traders in the house, how do yoo guys manage swap fee. abeg make una no ignore me

SUPERPACK:
he who donates his head for the breaking of a coconut will surely not partake in eating it. Whether Nato gets involved or not, any member nation that gets into a war with Russia will surely understand. Seeing what happened between Russia and nato in Syrian war i dont think Russia is moved by their 30 country alliance of a thing.

what happened? I remember Trump light up some facilities in Syria and Russia did nothing.

Awesome01:
This I agree with because it happened to me. I had a crush on a classmate back in school, she told me about her boyfriend who happens to be a childhood friend and her mom's friend's son. I didn't care and we had a fling .

After school, we separated and i went to Abuja for business but kept in touch. One day she called me asking for my advice. She got pregnant for that her boyfriend and the 2 mothers insisted they must marry especially since it will cement the mom's friendship, but she wanted to abort it because she love me and not him . I advised her against abortion .

I told her, I had moved on and gotten engaged to my present wife. I only liked her but she mistook it for love. Anyway, I convinced her to marry him and she did. She forced me to attend the wedding in Lagos, which I did. We remain platonic friends till date. Fortunately for her, they are now living in the US while I'm stuck in this hellhole called Naija.

bro I like your honesty. people like me have got things easy, cos I'm introvert and I hardly attend such. it's settled.

Channah1:
Hahahahaha... Does he even strike you like someone who went to the four walls of the University? With this behavior? Naaah... I doubt.

mumu na so you insult my ishilove the one woman I respect for nairaland. since that day everything you cook na rubbish for my eye.

you're toxic and any man who wants peace of mind should run far from you.

Piptocoin:
[color=indigo]this is common to all traders. In my experience, the best thing to do is to bring your stoploss to BE+1 to cover the cost of entry after the market has moved, say, 15 pips or 20 pips in your favour. You cannot control the outcome of the trade. The best you can do is manage your equity as best as you can so you don't lose at both sides — stoploss is taken out and market went ahead to hit your initial take profit level.

Another thing that can be done in addition to the above is to take partials after a determined number of pips to lock-in profits and bring the stoploss to breakeven. If the market decides to go further in your direction...all well. If it decides to reverse, and it hits the stoploss...at least you did not lose.

There is something else though. If you use 1:1 Risk/Reward ratio then you should win 60% of your trades to be profitable. At 50% win rate you will only break even. At 1:2 Risk/Reward ratio you only need to win 4 trades out of 10 (40%) to be profitable. What I am trying to say is that 1:1 RR is not an advisable risk parameter to use when trading.

As long as you have taken partials and brought your stoploss to breakeven there is every tendency you will hit home runs after some disappointing starts.[/color]

senior greenback, thanks, I think your point two is liit. thanks.

teemy:
You could have found a winning strategy... in reverse.

teem ; reverse strategy, do you trade it? that might be ballistic for me

kozmicity:
@Eagba
If you're having a 1:1 RR ratio, you strategy simply has to have a win rate of higher than 50%. Generally, if the markets go in your favor then reverse to hit your SL, it means you need to revisit your strategy.

Get to know the why. It might be that your TP is too distant or you're getting in too early. Try to work on your entry and see how much you can tweak your strategy until you get more than a 1:1

Deep. thanks boss

abeg bosses in the house, if you try to get a RR of 1:1 that's 50 pips loss target and 50 pips profit target for your trades, an mostly after entering your trade, the market was going your way n later reverses before hitting your 50 pips profit target. From look of things, it will start recording negative profit.

what do you do so to maintain your 1:1 RR target, because if you close early, your 50 pips profit target isn't met but most times your 50 pips loss is a guarantee.

Feshizzy:
To all contest,
Please you can open a normal ftmo account if you are not comfortable with the SWING account.

sir with your number one rule, I opened the ftmo account with my real name.
Michael ...

Feshizzy:
I believe it detailed enough to understand,
In essence it means,
You would be given the money the prize money after completing the prize winner rules,
So you can do with the money how ever you want.
And if you need guidance in getting an account, it would be solely in your name and everything as you now have full custodian of the prize.

anyway further questions feel free to ask

FTA moniker is what I don't understand.

Very correct but I disagree.

Some people are just easily brainwashed each and every day.

First of all, when Mabaka was behind PMB, during the 2015 presidential election, all these ipob hated him to their bone marrow,

The moment he denounced PMB after threats on his life and businesses by the mental animal called cownu, they all rushed to start follwing Mbaka and he became their god,

Now that he called Peter Obi whatever he called him, they have gone back to unfollow him again,

If Mbaka comes out tomorrow again, shouting "Na prank, Na prank,
Look at the camera there
You will see these senseless beings going back to follow him again.

Same thing happened with their MumuFFK and MumuReno and also the same thing they are doing to Yele Sowore.
If you dare not support whatever they support, you are in trouble, they expect everyone to queue behind their foolishness and stupidity.

We can never forget what these wicked species did to the founder or RantHQ at the other side,
They all came out full force to end her livelihood, just because she told them she doesn’t want anybody insulting the country or other tribe on her page comprising of millions of people.
They reported her to UN, US, took off her endorsement, threatened to rape her, did everything they could to close down her page etc.
But we are happy God vindicated her at last from those devils and cannibals.
What manner of politics!

We thank God not all of us igbos behave like the 1% ipob cannibals giving our region a bad name all over the country and the world at large.
There are still some of us that love our darling country to the moon and back.


Hmmmmm, this is deep!

Two things that will end most idiots life in this nation,
HYPOCRISY AND LIES ....in that particular order.
They can twist each and everything in this world to the way it suit their narratives.....each and everything.....for the sake of emphasis!

(Quote this post to say rubbish if this post gets to you and get ready to be unfortunate!)


Hmmmmm, this is deeper!!

(We are still waiting for the deepest!!!)

someone here called you a biological mistake, what's your take on that

Feshizzy:
By next weekend sha,
I would do a MFF 10k contest.

Let me just state a few rules or snippet
1. No limits to lot size or numbers of trade/pairs
2. open FTMO trial (swing trial to be precise)
3. Max daily DD 3%, overall DD 6%


So i am contemplating to either do 5k 2 winners or 10k 1 winner.
M
Either way, i would have this weekend and inside next Week to plan this.

Boss abeg explain points 2&3 . I be novice.

Assange had no business divulging State secrets,it was not his place to do so,Some secrets are better left secret!
but as an assange supporter u can defend in court,or u can keep on blabbing hia.
Lmao!

If a reporter reports about the genocide in the east, he should be presecuted

plaindealer:
I'd still love to see or hear once and for all what law or laws was broken since having bullion vans to convey your valuables is not a crime in Nigeria and sharing your money with the needy is also not a crime.

Lastly, his house was not a polling station so once again, what law was broken exactly?

that was money laundering

Manager001:
I understand. Check eurusd next week and thank me later

well you might be right

as an hausa man, Peter obi is the best of the three major aspirants.
