Day 9: Logical Lines
邏輯導(dǎo)圖繪制的思路:
- 其實(shí)第一眼看到篤師的邏輯圖有一種蒙圈的感覺(jué),因?yàn)椴恢朗菓?yīng)該從哪里看深碱,所以看得很暈腹鹉,到自己做的時(shí)候,做了一個(gè)下午敷硅,寫(xiě)了3頁(yè)的筆記整理功咒,才畫(huà)出一個(gè)大概的邏輯圖,因?yàn)檫@篇文章是chronology的寫(xiě)作順序绞蹦,所以剛開(kāi)始在實(shí)在找不出作者邏輯的情況下力奋,我就選取了小標(biāo)題來(lái)做邏輯塊,連接起來(lái)做邏輯圖幽七,所以還算比較的清晰景殷。
- 文章最開(kāi)始設(shè)置了一個(gè)背景(Wildpoldsried),在這個(gè)大背景中澡屡,作者講了一個(gè)可再生能源帶來(lái)的問(wèn)題猿挚,就是由于它的penetration,utility的revenue發(fā)生了下降驶鹉,從而導(dǎo)致了可再生能源自斷其尾的現(xiàn)象绩蜻。
- 接著就開(kāi)始講這種現(xiàn)象出現(xiàn)的過(guò)程和原因等。
- 首先是第一個(gè)小標(biāo)題(Less deer, still disruptive):在這個(gè)標(biāo)題下室埋,作者講了政府大力推行可再生能源之后办绝,所產(chǎn)生的一些影響,一方面使得可再生能源的成本不斷下降姚淆,另一方面孕蝉,就是打擊了化石能源的投資,使得這些人都涌向了可再生能源腌逢,然而降淮,可再生能源本身具有間歇性的缺陷,所以使得其他化石能源必須同時(shí)供應(yīng)或者備用搏讶。
- 所以這就產(chǎn)生了下面的一個(gè)問(wèn)題骤肛,也就是第三個(gè)標(biāo)題說(shuō)的死亡螺旋(From dull to death spiral)纳本。由于可再生能源市場(chǎng)份額越來(lái)越大,使得其擠占其他的化石能源腋颠,并將一些高價(jià)的生產(chǎn)商擠出市場(chǎng)繁成,然而可再生能源的價(jià)格也不是無(wú)限降低的,當(dāng)可再生能源份額達(dá)到100%淑玫,理論上來(lái)說(shuō)wholesale price會(huì)變成0巾腕,或者是負(fù)數(shù),那么整個(gè)電力市場(chǎng)就會(huì)崩潰絮蒿。
- 接著就是兩個(gè)學(xué)者提出的兩個(gè)現(xiàn)象尊搬,一個(gè)叫vicious circle(也就是政府越是加強(qiáng)可再生能源的滲透,這個(gè)政策本身的效力越低)土涝,另一個(gè)就是death spiral(隨著自己能夠發(fā)電的人越來(lái)越多佛寿,會(huì)使得utility提高其他需要依靠化石能源的remain的價(jià)格,這就使得這些remain很多都離開(kāi)了Grid)但壮,也就是說(shuō)冀泻,由于可再生能源的推行,一方面使得投資商的減少(因?yàn)閮r(jià)格實(shí)在太低)蜡饵,而不斷降低的價(jià)格確實(shí)的資金的投資越來(lái)越重要弹渔,另一方面可再生能源的推行大大的減少了需求,使得其自斷其尾溯祸。
- 而第三個(gè)標(biāo)題(From dromedary to duck)肢专,則是通過(guò)具體的數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明可再生能源的一些問(wèn)題。同時(shí)也提出了一些相應(yīng)的解決方法焦辅。
- 最后一個(gè)小標(biāo)題(Waiting for enlightment)就是作者的一些感慨和期許博杖。可再生能源確實(shí)帶來(lái)了問(wèn)題筷登,但不意味著我們要放棄它剃根,而是應(yīng)該找到解決的一些方法。當(dāng)然是有很多的挑戰(zhàn)的仆抵,坐著也列舉出了其中的困難跟继,所以這個(gè)過(guò)程注定是緩慢的种冬。
Day 10: Summary
1. 聽(tīng)完邏輯導(dǎo)圖的講解之后的總結(jié)
今天聽(tīng)了篤師的講解之后镣丑,對(duì)比自己的邏輯圖,覺(jué)得這一次的篤師的邏輯圖做的真的是最棒的一次娱两,真心佩服安妮莺匠。尤其是安妮講的一個(gè)理念,就是將不變的東西先單獨(dú)列出來(lái)十兢,讓讀者明白整個(gè)運(yùn)作的過(guò)程趣竣,再在這個(gè)基礎(chǔ)上去畫(huà)邏輯圖摇庙,就會(huì)變得簡(jiǎn)潔很多,不需要在每個(gè)版塊里都單獨(dú)的再講一遍遥缕,就可以讓讀者明白里面的邏輯(因?yàn)檫@個(gè)作者反復(fù)的在每個(gè)標(biāo)題下在講消費(fèi)者, fosil fuel generators, renewables卫袒,grid and utility 和government之間的一些關(guān)系,所以當(dāng)時(shí)真的很糾結(jié)到底要怎么總結(jié)出來(lái)比較好)单匣。所以在聽(tīng)完安妮講解完之后夕凝,我再去看了安妮的邏輯圖,真的覺(jué)得一目了然户秤,尤其是左邊每一個(gè)框框里的總結(jié)码秉,非常的精煉,而且又抓住了重點(diǎn)鸡号,感覺(jué)比我那個(gè)彎來(lái)彎去的要好得多转砖。當(dāng)然,當(dāng)時(shí)我按照小標(biāo)題的順序來(lái)展開(kāi)也沒(méi)有什么問(wèn)題鲸伴,但是感覺(jué)不夠簡(jiǎn)潔府蔗,一些小細(xì)節(jié)還要進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng),概括能力也有待提高挑围。所以自己還有很大的進(jìn)步空間礁竞,要繼續(xù)努力~
2. 有關(guān)于詞匯和語(yǔ)法上的思考:
安妮在講解中講到的一點(diǎn),就是有些作者在寫(xiě)作時(shí)候的用詞是和作者想要表達(dá)的一種語(yǔ)境或者畫(huà)面有關(guān)的杉辙,并不代表這個(gè)詞本身很高級(jí)或者很好模捂。這其實(shí)是我一個(gè)最大的疑問(wèn),尤其是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人蜘矢,有的時(shí)候狂男,一些作者寫(xiě)的文章感覺(jué)非常的“掉書(shū)袋”,有很多的詞語(yǔ)在查了字典之后品腹,都會(huì)在詞條后面岖食,標(biāo)注上【literary】,屬于文學(xué)上的用詞舞吭,所以我也不確定能不能用到自己的文章里面泡垃。所以今天在聽(tīng)了安妮的講解之后,深有同感羡鸥,有的詞確實(shí)是在這一篇文章中特有的蔑穴,作者為了表達(dá)一種自己的態(tài)度,或者描述一種比價(jià)文學(xué)性的畫(huà)面所用的詞語(yǔ)惧浴,要考慮相關(guān)的語(yǔ)境存和,有選擇性的使用。一些很妙的用法,很妙的詞捐腿,可以學(xué)著去鑒賞纵朋,然后去揣摩作者的意圖或者態(tài)度,我覺(jué)得這樣能夠更好的理解文章茄袖,久而久之的操软,在寫(xiě)作中,自己也能夠適當(dāng)?shù)倪\(yùn)用一些類似的文學(xué)性的語(yǔ)言宪祥。
還有講到的finance與fund的區(qū)別寺鸥,這個(gè)發(fā)散的思維我覺(jué)得很好,因?yàn)槲乙话愣际窃诓樯~的時(shí)候品山,里面有相關(guān)詞的鏈接胆建,會(huì)去進(jìn)一步的了解,但是聽(tīng)完安妮的講解之后肘交,感覺(jué)自己這個(gè)依賴性應(yīng)該改掉笆载,感覺(jué)自己想出來(lái)的,與自己學(xué)過(guò)的一些單詞進(jìn)行對(duì)比涯呻, 或者去進(jìn)一步搜索出來(lái)的凉驻,印象會(huì)更加的深刻,也會(huì)對(duì)進(jìn)一步的學(xué)習(xí)更有幫助复罐,所以在之后的學(xué)習(xí)中會(huì)進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)這一點(diǎn)習(xí)慣的養(yǎng)成涝登。
3. 三天的學(xué)習(xí)總結(jié)
這一次的任務(wù)3天的時(shí)間,感覺(jué)工作量好大效诅,一方面是因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人的用詞造句比較的“藝術(shù)性”胀滚,使得我必須要進(jìn)一步的去理解,所以摘錄的單詞短語(yǔ)很多乱投,然后邏輯圖又弄了大半天咽笼,然后第三天認(rèn)真的聽(tīng)了安妮的講解,感覺(jué)整個(gè)人都被填充的滿滿的戚炫,其實(shí)我之前也會(huì)看經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人剑刑,但是沒(méi)有像這樣這么精細(xì)的做這些工作,所以之前多少會(huì)有走馬觀花的感覺(jué)吧双肤,但是經(jīng)過(guò)這3天的學(xué)習(xí)施掏,雖然任務(wù)很艱巨,但是學(xué)到了很多的東西茅糜,也更深的理解了文章的內(nèi)容七芭。每次看一個(gè)Topic, 就增長(zhǎng)了一些這方面的知識(shí),比單純的看限匣,會(huì)更加的有深度抖苦,能夠?qū)W到的也更多,會(huì)比較有成就感米死。
所以锌历,接下來(lái)的任務(wù)也要認(rèn)真的學(xué)習(xí),繼續(xù)的進(jìn)步~
Day 11: 附加閱讀任務(wù)
How to deal with the clean energy's dirty secrets?
1. 解決邊際成本幾乎為零的問(wèn)題
政府對(duì)可再生能源的補(bǔ)貼應(yīng)該視地域而定峦筒,對(duì)于不適合發(fā)展可再生能源的地域究西,政府減少補(bǔ)貼金額和相關(guān)的投資,而轉(zhuǎn)而給化石燃料發(fā)電的企業(yè)給予相關(guān)的補(bǔ)助和投資物喷,以此來(lái)平衡可再生能源在各個(gè)區(qū)域“獨(dú)大”的現(xiàn)象卤材。此外,政府可以指定可再生能源企業(yè)的稅率與產(chǎn)量掛鉤峦失,而非實(shí)際消費(fèi)量扇丛,以此來(lái)調(diào)整這些企業(yè)過(guò)量的生產(chǎn),促使這些企業(yè)調(diào)整生產(chǎn)結(jié)構(gòu)尉辑。
此外帆精,政府應(yīng)該對(duì)不同地區(qū)可再生能源與其他電廠的數(shù)量進(jìn)行控制,以避免renewables generators 出現(xiàn)低效率運(yùn)營(yíng)泛濫的現(xiàn)象隧魄。比如A區(qū)不適合風(fēng)力和太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電的區(qū)域卓练,應(yīng)該規(guī)定這類發(fā)電廠的數(shù)量不能超過(guò)多少家,同時(shí)鼓勵(lì)其他有利于風(fēng)力發(fā)電和太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電的區(qū)域中(比如B區(qū))的化石能源發(fā)電廠進(jìn)入A购啄,從而將資源進(jìn)行合理的分配襟企。
2. 解決定價(jià)的問(wèn)題
可再生能源由于邊際成本幾乎為零,所以價(jià)格低狮含,破壞了市場(chǎng)運(yùn)營(yíng)的機(jī)制顽悼,應(yīng)該破除可再生能源價(jià)格的壟斷,建立不完全競(jìng)爭(zhēng)市場(chǎng)几迄,使市場(chǎng)價(jià)格能夠反映真實(shí)的需求表蝙,從而使得可再生能源能夠合理定價(jià)。此外乓旗,可以按照具體的天氣情況采取“浮動(dòng)定價(jià)法”府蛇,使得價(jià)格與頻繁變動(dòng)的天氣情況掛鉤,讓其他非可再生能源發(fā)電廠能夠在電力市場(chǎng)中維持一定的市場(chǎng)份額屿愚。
3. 解決可再生能源的intermittence問(wèn)題
政府可以對(duì)那些能夠根據(jù)具體的天氣情況做出適當(dāng)調(diào)整的消費(fèi)者給予補(bǔ)貼汇跨,使得消費(fèi)者減少對(duì)“guaranteed renewables”的需求。
其次妆距,通過(guò)digitalization穷遂、smart meters and batteries來(lái)緩和需求,減少由于可再生能源intermittence所帶來(lái)的不利影響娱据。
