I give about 90% of my talks virtually and only travel when I can bundle enough events to make the time and the carbon worthwhile (25 events in 3 days at NY Climate Week last week 😅). It is exhausting, no lie. But sadly we live in a world where doing things right is harder than not. More here ...

At #FediDay, @julian presents how multiple #SciOp-instances could federate via ActivityPub 💜 Talk is being recorded, I'll share the link here asap
Julian presenting at cbase Berlin, he stands in front of a large slide:
Showing two SciOp-instances, the existing sciop.net one and a potential institutional one hosted at TIB Hanover.
Sciop.net being "volunteer-based, consensus-driven, nimble", while SciOp-TIB would be "institution-based, process-driven, predictable"

Linking both instances is ActivityPub: "Distributed, cooperative but independent governance"

Vier Szenarien

Szenario 0 benutzt den Bestand Ende 2024: 99,3 GW PV, 63,53 GW Wind an Land, 9,215 GW Wind auf See und 12,67 GW / 18,65 GWh Batteriespeicher. Die Batterie hat damit heute nur etwa 1,5 Stunden Dauer.
Szenario	PV	Wind an Land	Wind auf See	Batterie
0: Iststand 2024	99,3 GW	63,53 GW	9,215 GW	12,67 GW / 18,65 GWh
A: knapp	300 GW	250 GW	70 GW	50 GW / 200 GWh
B: Referenz	400 GW	300 GW	80 GW	100 GW / 400 GWh
C: viel Überschuß	500 GW	350 GW	100 GW	150 GW / 600 GWh

Szenario 0 ist ausdrücklich nicht die heutige deutsche Strombilanz. Es setzt den heutigen Wind-, PV- und Batteriepark auf die Last eines elektrifizierten Deutschlands und fragt: Was bliebe dann für Gas übrig?Ergebnis: Gasarbeit fällt, Gasleistung fast nicht

Der Modelllauf für 2024 ergibt:
Szenario	Gasleistung	Gasarbeit	Stunden mit Gas	Abregelung
0: Iststand 2024	163,3 GW	896,0 TWh	8.784 h	0,0 TWh
A: knapp	156,7 GW	319,4 TWh	5.548 h	56,9 TWh
B: Referenz	156,6 GW	214,2 TWh	3.545 h	127,5 TWh
