Wikimedia Commons (or simply Commons) is an online repository of free-use images, sound, and other media files. It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.
Files from Wikimedia Commons can be used across all Wikimedia projects in all languages, including Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikivoyage, Wikispecies, Wikisource, and Wikinews, or downloaded for offsite use. The repository contains over 30 million media files. In July 2013, the number of edits on Commons reached 100,000,000.
The project was proposed by Erik Möller in March 2004 and launched on September 7, 2004. A key motivation behind the setup of a central repository was the desire to reduce duplication of effort across the Wikimedia projects and languages, as the same file had to be uploaded to many different wikis separately before Commons was created.
Several sister projects (e.g. Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, Basque, Polish, Czech and Slovak Wikipedias) moved all their media content to Commons and stopped allowing local uploading. Some projects, such as the English Wikipedia, have more compliant copyright policy and allow to upload and keep files which are not acceptable at Commons, e.g. fair use images.
Robert Llewellyn (born 10 March 1956, in Northampton, Northamptonshire) is an English actor, comedian and writer best known as the mechanoid Kryten in the hit TV sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf and as a presenter of the TV engineering gameshow Scrapheap Challenge. He is a science and technology enthusiast, a promoter of renewable technologies and electric cars and an atheist and skeptic who frequently gives talks at science and technology events. He is also active online.
Llewellyn's first foray into the world of show business started out as a hobby, organising a few amateur cabaret evenings in a riverside warehouse overlooking Tower Bridge in London. The shows were a great success and he eventually helped form an alternative comedy theatre group called the Joeys. Within six months he had stopped working as a shoemaker and started performing professionally with the group alongside Bernie Evans, Nigel Ordish and Graham Allum. The group toured Britain and France in the early 1980s with an initial idea of exploring sexual politics between men. Llewellyn wrote much of the material, and also began writing novels. The group split in 1985, having toured for years and done thousands of shows.

A physics revision video about the national grid.
GCSE Physics Revision: The National Grid You can watch all my videos at www.freesciencelessons.co.uk In this video, we look at how electricity is distributed from power stations to homes. This is called the National Grid. We look at how energy losses in the transmission cables can be reduced by using step-up transformers.
Extract from 'Britain from above' explaining how the National Grid responds to 'TV pickups'
nvestment in renewable energy infrastructure was higher than in fossil fuel infrastructure. With grid-scale energy storage, intermittent sources of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, become viable for the grid. VLAB will examine the technology and economics to make this transformation possible. The global market for energy storage services could be worth as much as $31.5 billion in 2017, according to Lux Research. Additionally, Pike Research forecasts that $122 billion will be invested in energy storage projects between 2011 and 2021. Today, 99% of the global energy storage is pumped hydro, which is geographically constrained. Now entrepreneurs free us from this constraint with fundamentally new technology challenging conventional expectations of capacity, efficiency and product ...

They were all different and mostly incompatible: London alone had 24 voltages and 10 frequencies. How did we get from there to the billion-pound tunnel projects of today?

Follow me!: https://twitter.com/DoodleSci Doodle Science teaches you high school physics in a less boring way in almost no time! Script: Electricity is transferred from power stations to consumers through the wires and cables of the National Grid. When a current flows through a wire some energy is lost as heat. The higher the current, the more heat is lost. To reduce these losses, the National Grid transmits electricity at a low current and a high voltage. Transformers are used to increase and decrease the voltage of an alternating current. No not those transformers, the boring ones. A transformer that increases the voltage is called a step up transformer and one that decreases the voltage is a step down transformer. Power stations produce electricity at approximately 25,000 Volts. St...

This webinar was presented on April 28, 2015 This talk will explain why simple control of an energy storage medium is not sufficient when designing and managing an energy storage system. We have shown that almost all ancillary services deployed on the grid (frequency response and frequency regulation) can be successfully and economically accomplished with fast response grid storage systems.

This webinar was presented on October 28 2014. This webinar will describe various applications for energy storage on the grid and how they can be used to help grid operators, generators, or utility companies meet the challenges of ensuring reliability and increasing the efficiency of existing resources or infrastructure.
The CSIS Energy and National Security Program hosted a panel discussion on grid storage technologies featuring Haresh Kamath, Program Manager for Energy Storage at the Electric Power Research Institute, Praveen Kathpal, Vice President of AES Energy Storage, and Katherine Hamilton, Policy Director of the Energy Storage Association. Grid storage is often touted as a way to help integrate intermittent sources of electricity such as wind and solar onto the grid. The development of grid storage technology, however, is about much more than just renewable integration. This session will address various grid storage technologies and their current and future potential to help create a more resilient and cost-effective energy infrastructure. Panelists will discuss existing and emerging grid storage...

Power to the People - 01 March 2011 Steve Holliday FREng, Chief Executive of National Grid The UK is about to embark on a huge process of change in the way it produces, transports and uses energy. Old power stations are closing, new nuclear and renewable generation is arriving, and millions of electric cars are on their way as we strive to cut carbon emissions. Most of the new power generation will be in remote locations, often on the coast. Creating new connections to get that electricity to people's homes and businesses will cost billions of pounds; but without it, we won't reach that sustainable future. National Grid owns and operates the high voltage electricity transmission system in England and Wales and operates the network across the UK. It also owns and operates the UK's gas tr...

While emergency management professionals are accustomed to working with utilities to respond to power disruption in the wake of natural disasters, a response to a regional, large-scale cyber attack impacting the grid is a scenario few have experienced. As the number and sophistication of cyber attacks increase, emergency managers must enhance their understanding of digital threats and the potential consequences to life-sustaining critical infrastructure as well as their own operations. Listen as NEMA private sector committee member Chris Furlow, president of Ridge Global, leads a discussion on critical questions such as: - What cascading impacts could be expected from a cyber attack on the grid? - What electric sector protocols are in place to prevent and respond to cyber attacks? - How...
