Last year we hosted our very first charity event in aid of Chestnut Tree House Childrens Hospice. Our 'Pier to Pier Challenge' that takes you on a 15 mile walk from Eastbourne to Hastings pier raised £670 for charity last year and we are happy to announce it's back for a second year.
This year the event will be taking place on Saturday 16th September 2017 and we are planning to meet at the entrance to Eastbourne Pier ready to start at 9am.

Everybody is welcome to the event, so please do invite your friends and family to this great day out. Entry is completely free; money is raised through donations. If you are planning to attend the event, RSVP in the comments below just so we can plan the day accordingly. Thank-you.

USA prepares for the effects of a 21st century solar eclipse

8/8/2017

0 Comments

 
Solar eclipses are a natural occurrence that happen on average every 18 months somewhere around the world. The next solar eclipse due to cast a shadow upon the surface of our planet will be on August 21st as it travels across the United States of America from the north west, down to the south east of the country.
​

Picture

A solar eclipse is nothing new, but the problem we are beginning to face now we are turning to more renewable resources for electricity is that when these sources are interrupted they can have detrimental effects on the power grid.

​Previously, a solar eclipse had little to no effect. The gas and nuclear power plants would chug along just as they always had done; producing the power we consume daily. Now, a large proportion of our power comes from solar and the sudden drop in solar input means we need to be prepared for the outage with other sources. 
​
Solar Power Loss from Solar Eclipse
Prediction of power loss in PJM’s mid-Atlantic region from shadowing during the upcoming August 21 solar eclipse, following four different scenarios.


​Power grids are not designed for solar eclipses. They ha​ppen a lot faster than the incremental decrease or increase in power that is seen with a sunrise or sunset. Eclipses also affect a wider area than that of a typical cloud bank. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation has urged areas with high solar penetration to prepare plans for the event; notably the states of Nevada and North Carolina.

North Carolina will be hit hard due to the fact they have installed more than 3,000 megawatts of solar power electricity and the eclipse is due to block out more than 90% of sunshine across the entire state. It highlights the fragility of renewable sources and how for the time being until situations like this can be cared for independently, a backup of other power resources need to remain.

Tesla has now completed its first round of Solar Roof installations

4/8/2017

0 Comments

 
Tesla started pre-orders for Solar Roof installations during Q2 of this year, and since then has begun installations on employee houses. Elon Musk, JB Straubel both have it installed on their properties.

Solar Roof which was first unveiled back in October 2016 is the first of its kind. The product which is designed to resemble a normal roof, but contains hundreds of hidden solar panels within the tiles removes the need for panels bolted onto the exterior of the roof.

Tesla Solar Roof

​The only real downside with Solar Roof is that currently it is expensive. For example, to add Solar Roof to a 2,000 square foot home would cost in the region of $50,000. However, like with most technology, the pricing is likely to come down pretty quickly in the months and years to come.

CDS take part in #BattleOfTheWorkplace 2017

3/8/2017

0 Comments

 
From Monday 31st July and through to tomorrow (Friday 4th August 2017), we; Corin Dudley Electrical Services are taking part in the 2017 'Battle of the Workplaces' on the radio. We actually took part last year too and managed to get to the second round. We're back, and we're going for gold this time.
​
Picture

​With today and tomorrow still to play for, we go into the fourth day drawing 6 points to 6. It's nail-bitingly close and all is to play for. You can listen to us live on the radio between 13:30 and 14:00 everyday this week.


This time last year, we actually managed to get a perfect score in the first round scoring 15 points out of 15. However, the new 10 second time limit per round adds to the excitement and tension and before you know it the timer has run out.
