问 HN: “Dunkelflaute” 导致我的显示器黑屏

2作者: bertili7 个月前
我住在丹麦,据我所知,这里几乎不会遇到停电或电网问题。我家窗外就有三台国家运营的风力涡轮机(虽然这可能在这里无关紧要),但我很容易就能判断出风力大小。 我的问题是,今天,以及冬季的某些时段,我们有时会遇到德国人所说的“dunkelflaute”——雾天,涡轮机停转,太阳能电池板也无法发电。然后我的显示器就黑屏了!有时候我可以通过反复开关几次来恢复,但很快它又会在“那些日子”里再次黑屏,所以我只能改用笔记本电脑工作。 过去几年我并没有理解这种诡异的关联/因果关系,但现在我清楚地看到了。 我的显示器(我非常喜欢,Dell UltraSharp 43 英寸,功耗 53 瓦)通过一根 HDMI 线缆(5 米长)连接到 Mac Mini M4。更换了 HDMI 线缆,问题依然存在。使用较小的 Dell 显示器时,则没有问题。好吧,没问题,换个显示器就行了。 等等……我开始害怕了——在 53 瓦的功耗水平下,真的存在“微弱”或“不稳定”的电力供应吗?这是否预示着一个 solarpunk 未来,数据中心吞噬了“优质电力”,而我们却只能使用“残余电力”?

I&#x27;m based in Denmark and blackout or power grid issues are a non issue here, as far as I know. I also have three state operated wind turbines when looking out the window (not that it probably matters here) but I can easily tell if the wind is blowing.<p>My problem is that today, and in periods during winters, we sometimes have periods of what Germans call &#x27;dunkelflaute&#x27; - foggy weather where the turbines stall and solar panels go dark. And then my monitor turns dark! I can sometimes get it back after switching it on and off a few times, but it will soon go dark again on &quot;those days&quot;, where I work on a laptop instead.<p>Previous years I didn&#x27;t grok the spooky correlation&#x2F;causation, but I clearly see it now.<p>The monitor (which I really like, Dell UltraSharp 43&quot;, running at 53 watts) is connected to a Mac Mini M4 via a HDMI cable (5 meters long). Changing the HDMI cable, the issue still persist. With a smaller Dell monitor, there are no issues. Ok, no problem, just change the monitor.<p>But wait... I got spooked up - is there is even such a thing as &#x27;thin&#x27; or &#x27;fluttering&#x27; electrical supply at this 53 watt consumption level? Is this be a first hint of a solarpunk future where data centers gobble up the &quot;good electricity&quot; and we are left with &quot;leftovers&quot;?
