Fallout's Electrical Grids

Inspired by Any Austin's videos on GTA IV & V (go watch them), I decided to map the path of every electrical pylon in Fallout 3, New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. It was an interesting experience that was sometimes fun and sometimes really dull and boring.

Now, these maps aren't full depictions of the electrical grid - I don't include utility poles for the most part (because there's too many and when I tried it was incredibly boring and dull) or underground cables (because I don't know whether or not they exist). But it does include the electrical pylons, which should give some interesting information about where power is coming from and how it's routed throughout the world.

The Capital Wasteland's Electrical Grid:

The pylons in FO3 are interesting - they're a lot more sporadic in their placement, but they're also pretty fun to follow. Also, almost every line was connected to a substation, which is neat. Fallout 3 also explicitly states that most of the power lines for DC are underground, so it's plausible that some of these lines could just go underground when they end, rather than just stopping.

The Mojave Wasteland's Electrical Grid:

New Vegas was honestly a little bit boring to do an electrical survey for. It was mostly just one long line of pylons going across a flat desert, so I found myself very bored while mapping this one. But regardless, it was interesting to see that the pylons form an *almost* complete line, with the exception of a few spots that don't connect.

Also, for New Vegas, I mapped out the utility poles of the world as well, mainly because the pylons didn't give much interesting information. Interestingly, the only utility pole that got anywhere near a substation (where they'd normally hook up to) was a short line nearby the Nevada Winds Solar Farm.

Fun fact, New Vegas also has the only clear indication of underground cables that I was able to find in any of the games. The El Dorado Substation has wires leading directly into the ground facing Helios One, and the substation attached to Helios One's power plant also has lines leading into the ground, facing the El Dorado. It's a neat detail! That's what the squiggly line between Helios One and the El Dorado Substation is meant to portray.

The Commonwealth's Electrical Grid

Fallout 4 was a bit disappointing - there were only 2 pylon lines in the whole Commonwealth, I expected there to be more. The main line at the top starts outside of the map near Sanctuary Hills and goes all the way to an unmarked destroyed power plant nearby County Crossing, where it just kinda... stops.

The other line at the bottom starts at an unmarked substation (which also has a Deathclaw v Behemoth fight) and goes into the Glowing Sea before unceremoniously ending in a single destroyed pylon, with no visible continuation of the line.

I did also start mapping out the utility poles for the Commonwealth like I did for the Mojave, but I got bored because there's a lot more and the Commonwealth is a lot bigger.

Appalachia's Electrical Grid

(You'll have to zoom in to see any detail, since 76's map is very big.)

This one was my favorite electrical grid survey to do, because 76's world is just so damn cool and well made. It's also very cool to see that 76 has the most accurate electrical infrastructure in the entire series! There are 3 pylon lines in Appalachia, each connecting to 3 different power plants across the regions, as well as multiple substations along the routes. Doubly interesting, the utility poles also actually connect to the substations, which is a first!

I was very impressed with the level of detail in 76's world, there's so many little details, like how in the forested regions, the area beneath the pylon wires is actually cleared out, like they are in real life. It was just cool to see the developers actually pay attention to that kind of thing, along with the aforementioned utility poles connecting to the substations.

Conclusion

Now, you may ask, "Why did you do this?" And my answer is, because I thought it'd be neat and I didn't have anything better to do. You might also ask, "What did we learn from this?", to which my answer is basically nothing but hey, at least we reaffirmed that Fallout 76 still has the best world map of the games.

Switchgear for Solar and Wind Projects in Bahrain: What You Need to Know

As Bahrain intensifies its commitment to renewable energy, solar and wind power projects are gaining momentum across the Kingdom. The nation’s Vision 2030 emphasizes sustainable growth, and this includes an ambitious target of generating 10% of electricity from renewable sources by 2035. As developers and investors gear up for this energy transition, one component plays a critical role in ensuring system safety, reliability, and efficiency — switchgear.

In this article, we explore why switchgear is crucial in solar and wind power systems, the specific requirements in Bahrain, and how to choose the right solution for your renewable energy project.

What is Switchgear and Why Does it Matter?

Switchgear is a general term covering a wide range of electrical devices used to isolate, protect, and control electrical circuits. It includes circuit breakers, fuses, relays, disconnectors, and load break switches.

In renewable energy systems, switchgear ensures:

· Safe disconnection of faulty or overloaded circuits

· Protection against overcurrent, short-circuit, and earth faults

· Efficient control and monitoring of power flow

· Coordination with grid and off-grid systems

Renewable Energy Growth in Bahrain

Bahrain’s sunny climate and strong coastal winds make it an ideal location for solar PV and wind power installations. Recent government initiatives — such as the Net Metering Scheme, Tendered Renewable Projects, and Green Building Regulations — are creating opportunities for both utility-scale and distributed renewable energy systems.

However, environmental factors such as high temperatures, humidity, and dust pose challenges for electrical equipment, particularly in outdoor solar and wind sites. This makes the right choice of switchgear even more important.

Key Switchgear Considerations for Solar Projects

In photovoltaic (PV) installations, switchgear must be compatible with DC (direct current) as well as AC (alternating current) systems. Here are specific points to consider:

1. DC Switchgear for PV Arrays

· DC Disconnectors: Isolate individual PV strings for maintenance or emergency shutdowns.

· DC Fuses and Circuit Breakers: Protect cables and components from over currents.

· String Combiner Boxes: Integrate multiple PV strings and incorporate protective devices.

2. AC Switchgear for Inverter Output

· Low-Voltage Circuit Breakers (AC): Used between inverters and transformers or grid connection points.

· Load Break Switches: Offer safe disconnection under load conditions.

· Metering and Monitoring Units: Allow real-time tracking of power output and faults.

3. Environmental Protection

· Use switchgear with IP65-rated enclosures to protect against dust and water ingress.

· UV-resistant materials are vital for long-term durability under the Bahraini sun.

Switchgear in Wind Energy Systems

Wind energy systems involve varying voltage levels and require robust protection due to fluctuating wind speeds and mechanical loading. Key switchgear elements include:

1. Medium Voltage Switchgear

· Used for interconnection between wind turbines and step-up transformers.

· SF6 or Vacuum Circuit Breakers: Provide arc quenching and insulation under high voltage.

2. High-Speed Protection

· Wind turbines are sensitive to voltage dips and transients. Fast-acting relays and breakers prevent equipment damage.

· Reactive power control and grid fault detection are integrated into switchgear assemblies.

3. Compact, Modular Designs

· Space constraints inside turbine towers or nacelles demand compact switchgear solutions with modular layouts.

Bahrain-Specific Compliance and Standards

To ensure your switchgear meets local utility and regulatory requirements, consider the following:

· EWA (Electricity & Water Authority) Requirements: All grid-connected systems must comply with EWA’s interconnection standards, including protection schemes and disconnection devices.

· IEC Standards: Switchgear must comply with relevant IEC 60947 (low-voltage switchgear) and IEC 62271 (high-voltage switchgear) guidelines.

· Thermal Rating and Ambient Temperature: Switchgear should be rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 50°C, common in Bahraini summers.

Choosing the Right Switchgear Partner

A successful renewable energy project hinges on choosing a reliable switchgear partner. Look for:

· Local experience in Bahraini environmental and regulatory conditions

· Customizable solutions for both rooftop and utility-scale systems

· After-sales support including spares, maintenance, and system upgrades

· Smart switchgear with digital monitoring for preventive maintenance and remote control

AFERIY P010 800W Portable Power Station Review

I have been looking at the AFERIY portable power station and waited until they are on discount. AFERIY P010 800W is one of the highest power output battery in the battery, and I do need this to power my camping kettle, coffee machine, fridge and a mini oven.

I ordered the battery together with a 200W solar panel as I know the sunshine in UK is not the most intense even in summer. I would need a higher power solar panel to take advantage of the free energy from not so optimum daylight.

The battery comes with 28% power and I immediately charged it from the wall socket using the power cable included in the package. It took about an hour to go up to 100% and I am very pleased.

There is a MC4 to XT60 cable for solar panel charging. I bought an solar panel extension cable with MC40 plugs at both end that connects to the integrated power cable that comes out from the solar panel. The other end of the extension cable is connected to the battery’s XT60 cable.

Today I place the solar panel in my garden and connect the cables to the battery input. The AC output is connected to a power extension lead socket bar which powers my 77” OLED TV, FireTV Cube, Echo Sub and a pair of Echo Studio speakers.

On an early June midday today in southeast U.K. , the solar panels fed average 135W power to the battery, while the TV and sound system power output was between 70W - 150W when a Netflix movie was streaming. The battery capacity drops very slowly to 95% in two hours. When I played Spotify on my TV, the capacity climbs back to 100% in an hour.

In a hot and bright summer day, I would expect a higher power generated by the solar panels. I am very pleased with the P010 battery so far. It should be noted that the high voltage and current that the electronics have to handle, careful handling of the battery is necessary particularly during powering up and down of the battery. No power plugs should be inserted or unplugged when the battery is inputting/outputting power.

At 6:00pm the solar panels are still producing > 100W. I do not have any problem with the noise of the cooling fan inside my living room. I have no doubt that the P010 battery will serve me well during my summer campings.

AFERIY P010 Battery

PROS:

800W (1600W surge), lightweight (6.5 kg), PD100W, PD20W, for USB-C and USB-A QC3.0 charging, relatively silent cooling fan.

CONS:

Plastic swinging cover for the power sockets feels flimsy and care should be taken not to break it. Don’t know why it’s designed to open from the bottom and swing up, which is prone to easily broken when accidentally hit upon, rather than swinging open from the top, so that the power cables are always on top to protect the cover.

200W Portable Solar Panel

PROS:

lightweight, contains USB-C and DC sockets for directly charging devices.

CONS:

Cables a bit short. MC4 to Anderson cable in the accessories is out of date technology. No variety of DC adaptor sockets like other brands of solar panels. The integrated supporting legs for the solar panels are a bit short and the tie back from the supports to the panel is too long. This restrains the angle of the panel to max. 40 degrees to the horizontal. Not good to better capture the last light from the setting sun.

Tech Talk 101: Solar Glossary for Beginners - GB Solar

Solar energy is, to be sure, a whole new language to learn, filled with wires and watts and lots of wonderful things! Be it solar panels atop your roof or trying to make sense of your energy bills, understanding solar jargon could make or break the deal for you. You needn’t be an engineer or a person who is an expert in solar backgrounds to do it, so fear not. Let us break it down in layman’s terms for the benefit of your solar-gleaming knowledge!

The Basics: Back to Science Class!

Let’s warm up with some simple concepts you may vaguely remember from school:

Current (I): Imagine electricity as a river, and current is how fast the water (electrons) flows. There are two types—Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). The SI Unit of current is Ampere (A)

Alternating Current (AC): This is what powers your home. It flows back and forth, changing direction—like waves lapping on a shore.

Direct Current (DC): DC is straight to the point—electricity flows in one constant direction, just like the energy from batteries or solar panels

Voltage (V): Think of this as the “pressure” pushing electricity through a wire. More voltage means more power pushing electrons from one point to another. The SI unit of Voltage is Volt (V).

Power (W): This is how fast energy is used or generated. The SI Unit for Power (W) is Watt.

        1 kilowatt (kW) = 1,000 watts

        1 megawatt (MW) = 1,000 kW

        1 gigawatt (GW) = 1,000 MW

Kilowatt-Hour (kWh): This is the “unit” seen on your electricity bill. A 1 kilowatt appliance used for one hour is one kWh consumed. Monitor your household appliances, and very soon, you will find out how much solar power you might need!

Utility Grid: The giant web that sends power from big power plants to your home or office. It’s what you’re currently plugged into.

Solar Panel Speak: Your Intro to Solar Modules

Now let’s zoom in on the stars of solar power—the panels and their partners:

Solar Panel: Photovoltaic panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which are converters of sunlight into electricity, typically by using silicon. Connect a whole bunch of them together and you’ll get a solar array.

Solar Inverter: Solar panels do produce DC power, but home electricity runs on AC. So in between comes the inverter that operates conversions of the two, hence rendering solar power usable.

Balance of System (BoS): Everything in your solar setup except the panel—like cables, mounting frames, batteries, and wiring. The unsung heroes!

Panel Efficiency: This tells you how good your panel is at converting sunlight into electricity. The higher, the better. GB Solar offers 20–23% efficiency—top-tier stuff!

Bifacial Panels: Unlike traditional panels that work from one side, bifacial ones capture sunlight from both the front and back. More sun, more power!

Monocrystalline Panels: Sleek and black, these are made from a single crystal of pure silicon. They’re efficient and premium, but also a bit pricier.

Polycrystalline Panels: Blueish and made from multiple silicon crystals, these are more budget-friendly but slightly less efficient.

Solar Tech Innovations: PERC vs. TOPCon

PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell):

Imagine your solar cell is a bucket catching sunlight. PERC adds a reflective layer to the bucket’s base, so nothing escapes—more light captured, more energy made.

TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact):

Now imagine an ultra-bucket that reflects, catches, and transfers light faster with minimal loss. TOPCon cells are energy efficiency champions, especially in hotter climates.

Solar System Types: Know Your Setup

Grid-Tied (On-Grid) Systems: Stay connected to the grid while using solar energy. If you produce extra, you can send it back and earn credit!

Off-Grid Systems: No grid? No problem. These standalone systems use batteries to store energy for night-time or cloudy-day use.

Hybrid Systems: Best of both worlds—connected to the grid and equipped with battery backup for added reliability.

Rooftop Solar: Popular among residential and small commercial spaces. Easy to install, easy to maintain—just keep it clean!

Ground-Mounted Solar: Perfect for high-capacity projects. The panels are installed on sturdy ground structures, ideal for farms and industrial plants.

Solar Policies & Financial Terms (aka Money Talk)

Here’s where solar meets your wallet. These terms are worth knowing:

Net Metering: Produced more power than you used? Send it to the grid and get credited for it!

Gross Metering: All your solar power goes to the grid, and you receive a fixed rate for every unit.

Feed-in Tariff (FiT): A guaranteed price you get paid for the solar energy you export to the grid.

Time-of-Day (ToD) Tariff: Electricity costs shift depending on demand—cheaper at night, costlier in the evening.

Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO): Big consumers are legally required to source a portion of their energy from renewables.

Open Access Solar: Large businesses can buy solar power directly from producers, bypassing the local utility.

Electricity Duty Exemptions: Incentives like zero duty charges make solar even more affordable.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): A contract to sell solar power at agreed rates—usually signed between producers and DISCOMs.

Accelerated Depreciation: A big reason solar is great for industries—you get tax benefits by writing off the project cost quickly.

Capital Subsidy: Government support to reduce initial solar setup costs—makes the transition more budget-friendly.

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs): Certificates that prove you’ve generated green energy. They can be traded or used to meet RPOs.

Green Bonds: Investors fund green projects like solar plants through bonds. Good for your karma and your portfolio!

Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC): A tax benefit allowing you to deduct a portion of your solar investment from your income tax.

Bankable Solar Projects:A project that’s profitable, stable, and attractive to investors.

Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE): The average cost of electricity from your solar system over its lifespan—a great metric to understand ROI.

Ready to Go Solar?

What is now making you feel a little better with the solar lingo? Rather, learn your solar ABCs and make wiser green choices whether it is to go totally off-grid or just reduce electricity bills. 

Have you no idea how to begin? Relax. Ask our experts for advice free of charge.

Solar Maintenance Services

Maintaining your solar panel system optimizes performance and extends its lifespan. It also helps keep your warranty valid.

Inspections check for corrosion, loose connections, and other issues that could cause problems down the road. They also identify any shading from trees, bushes, or new buildings.

Finding a good provider starts with evaluating their experience and client satisfaction. Look for a licensed and certified crew.

Clean the Panels

The best way to get the most out of your solar energy system is to keep it clean. This means removing any dirt or debris that can hinder sunlight absorption and reduce electricity production. Ideally, this should be done twice per year. However, more frequent cleaning may be needed if you live in an area with high levels of dust or pollen or if you haven’t had rain in a while.

Professional solar cleaners typically use a hose with soapy water to safely clean your solar panels. They avoid using very cold water as this can cause thermal shock and damage your solar panel. They also avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface.

They can also check underneath your panels for any signs of animals nesting under them (in which case they’ll spring for solar critter guards), and can take advantage of your monitoring system to verify that the solar panels are still generating at peak performance.

Inspect the Inverter

The inverter is responsible for converting DC power from your panels into AC power that can be used in your home. It is crucial to ensure the inverter has proper ventilation to avoid overheating that can lead to smoke damage or a potential fire hazard.

During your solar maintenance services inspection, a technician will look at the inverter to make sure it’s functioning properly and is displaying the correct information. Any inconsistencies or anomalies in the data should be addressed as soon as possible.

If your inverter is displaying an error code, check the manufacturer’s guidelines for troubleshooting tips. A persistent error code could indicate that the inverter needs to be replaced, or that there are more serious problems causing it to shut down. If this is the case, an O&M package can help cover costs like inverter repairs. A plan like this can also provide protections similar to those that you’d get with a warranty on a car or home.

Inspect the Wiring

The solar wiring configurations and electrical connections need to be checked to prevent damage, safety issues, and to maintain optimum performance. Loose connections can lead to loss of energy production and can be a fire hazard. Electrical faults can be caused by voltage drops, corrosion, improper initial installation, or other environmental factors.

Regular inspections can detect these problems and address them promptly. It is also important to keep a diagram of your solar panel system for reference, as it will show how components are connected and the direction of current flow.

If your monitoring system shows a significant drop in energy output or warning lights appear on the inverter, contact a professional immediately. These are signs of serious problems that require immediate attention to ensure safety and warranty compliance. A qualified technician can perform a thorough visual inspection, test the inverter, and inspect the panels, cables, and mounting materials for physical damage or corrosion. They can also help you plan for future repairs and insurance claims.

Monitor the Output

Many solar energy systems have in-home or online monitoring apps to help you track daily, weekly, and annual production. By logging in to the platform and comparing performance to expected output, you can spot problems early and have them addressed.

Qualified solar professionals can also optimize your system during an inspection, for example by adjusting the tilt angle of your panels or clearing debris that might be obstructing sunlight. These small tweaks can significantly improve your energy generation and maximize your long-term gains. They can also ensure that the manufacturer’s warranty stays in effect by following up on any service requests and completing required maintenance.

Regular inspections will detect signs of wear and tear or other damage, such as cracks or discoloration in the panel or hardware. They can also ensure that your system is properly converting sunlight into electricity by checking the performance ratio, examining mounting hardware for corrosion or looseness, and assessing wiring and connections.
