Because they're all a data-play on some level and they want to funnel you through their data-collecting app. In Europe they've mandated credit card readers on every charger and I'm strongly in favour of that.

Ha! I've been remembering this lately working with the football club committee. Clearly not using this service much, mostly on Mastadon these days. I did see your solar farm in a bunch of different places. Incredible that you got that done.

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Broadly yeah. I find this place too sterile.

Looks like it's thousands of years old

The grid forming inverters in the subsequent circuits brought online will only provide blackstart if contracted to do so. If not contracted they will see voltage on the grid when it comes back and then synchronise with it along with every other generator

010

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Black start is a contracted service for the grid operator. So they'll have some BIG black start sources they prioritise. Where I live the first one is a hydro dam. They isolate that system, bring on the hydro and get it stable. Then they slowly connect more and more grids to synchronise

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

All grid forming inverters will provide virtual inertia in either direction. It's an inherent function of GForming inverters.

010

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Nothing like that here in Australia. GForming tech is usually used when there are commercial advantages.

010

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Grid forming inverters can be installed everywhere. Their internal protection settings guard against these outcomes. In general, forming inverters provide *better* fault current so trip better. And in partial situations will dosconnect.

110

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Grid forming inverters are *always* working to bring the waveform back to where it thinks it should be. So it supports voltage and power in real time. You can prioritise voltage support by fiddling with the VAr output

I couldn't figure out the Mastodon integration and I don't use Bluesky much BUT; pleased to see your smiling face

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

Yeah I'm sceptical about any passenger vehicle charging over about 150kW. The marginal cost of construction of going from say 150kW to 350kW is about 2x. The increase in utility is some vehicles save 1-2 minutes charging time. Also not using Bluesky much obvs

230

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

There's a limited number of use cases where fast charging matters. Who needs to regain 400km range quickly? No reason we can't have it here except for the blazing incompetence of some of the dnsps

110

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

That's on public chargers. 330kWh would easily cover our public charger use

Geez Severance is well written. My psoas is trying to kill me so I've been afforded the luxury of a lot of TV time

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

I've played against blokes like this. Can't remember his name but the comp I was in had a 63 yo finger spinner who came off two steps and was leading wicket taker EVERY year

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Top shelf weekend here. Played a football friendly this afternoon and we crushed them but aside from that the vibe was impeccable. Football is life.

010

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Got the juniors back into football training tonight. Some haven't kicked a ball in 5 months. Some have improved a little bit. One has gone through puberty and suddenly looks like a different (better) footballer

010

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

No public comment on this one ;-)

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Due to an administrative error one of my favourite juniors is coming back after a season in reps. Now I get to say that I hired well during the offseason which is important for my coaching CV

I have invented a mocktail called "I just mowed the lawn". Half fill a metal milkshake cup with ice. Add 30mL Bickford berry cordial and 1-2 Woolworths generic electrolyte tablets. Fill to the brim with fizzy water.

One [unimportant] thing I will say about the Musk-Trump transition team is they look like any child in my U14s football team would beat them in any 1 v 1 physical contest. Football, pushups, wrestling, sprints, 5k time trial. Every single one of them would lose to a 14 year old.

040

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

That's the limit. 2400W is 10A single phase. 3600W 15A. Three phase equivalent 7.2kW and 11kW. 0.75kW = 1hp Can be weird with petrol motors though as sometimes they quote the engine power use not output

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Unsure what triggered it but I've got up today with a clear memory of Faith No More's "The Real Thing" is an outstanding album

010

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

I'm on the verge of committing to learning to play this album (drum parts only) end-to-end open.spotify.com/album/0qwqlN... Brant Bjork - Jalamanta and yeah I prefer the remaster. Anyone keen on the lead or bass parts let me know.

WTF that's Lawson Dog Park isn't it? I was there literally ten minutes ago in a black Leaf!

They have this model in a lot of degrees and it's insane to me. We had to do 12 months of placement in engineering, but it was paid work. I couldn't have managed a year unpaid.

I find it so sad that people are listening to Aiden. He hasn't got the faintest idea what he's talking about. His criticisms of the ISP and the aemc fundamentally misunderstand what those things are. The ISP doesn't set any policy. It summarises policies of politicians. This is important.

Woops I think I'm replying to a different tweet

I'm extremely reluctant to conceded that Mt Piper is in the Bluies

Never seen them. From what I've seen in terms of quality so far it's Chinese chargers.... daylight.... everything else.

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

I just had a perfect taste memory of a prawn cracker I had in a Chinese restaurant about 30 years ago. It wasn't particularly good, but for some reason my brain has just regurgitated it in perfect clarity No I can't smell toast

The only upside that is sustaining me with Elno Watch is that when he comes off the metaphorical rails it will be very entertaining assuming you are at a safe distance. I'm betting on full ego death, probably in public.

Rereading a public report I wrote years ago and get to the last paragraph and discover it says "NEED TO WRAP THIS UP SOMEHOW" highlighted in yellow.

Are car chargers going to end up like USB a cables where there's a special angle you need the plug to go and you've got to stand there driving your hip into the side of a 300A DC plug

I think this is the most frightening switchboard I've ever seen, apart from a few inconsequential little ones in warehouses. This board runs a 500 seat pub in Coffs. Which no exaggeration I think had a fire?

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

I'm going to set up a Discord server where we talk about how great a particular album is. Have like a channel for each album, eg "Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms" and in that channel we talk about all our favourite bits. No negative talk.

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

I think Fischerspooner's album #1 might be about/supportive of trans kids coming out. I'm pretty sure that's what the single off the album "Emerge" is about. It's an all-time banger in this household. Time and place stuff. But also dirty, deep synth and hammering house beats.

000

Evan Beaver @evcricket.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

I called in sick for football tonight because 1. I hurt my hip digging a trench like an idiot and 2. Kick off is 9:20pm (!!!) Anyway, the perfect scenario happened and the game was rained off anyway so I missed nothing

Here's a meme from about 2014

Accidentally just coined the term "cunsultant", referring to myself. Feels accurate.

Anyway, he's the only person in my LinkedIn list that plays those stupid online games in LinkedIn. Pretty much daily.

There's a guy I know through work who I've seen around the sector in various ways for a decade. The whole time I've had this burning feeling that he's a total spiv. Absolutely all mouth and no trouser. I'm still not sure.
