停电导致数百万乌克兰人在气温降至冰点以下时失去了电力、供暖和供水。这也以令人恐惧的清晰度揭示了欧洲大型电网的脆弱性。
The outages left millions of Ukrainians without electricity, heat and water as temperatures dropped below freezing. They also brought home with frightening clarity the vulnerability of Europe’s large electric grids.
“这就是触发点，”比尔格松先生说。这促使他在家乡瑞典隆德开展了一项新颖的实验。他能否开发出一套既更便宜又更安全的电力本地化生产、存储和共享新系统？
“This was the trigger,” Mr. Birgersson said. It prompted him to embark on a novel experiment in his hometown, Lund, Sweden. Could he develop a new system of local production, storage and sharing of electricity that would be both cheaper and more secure?
他想出的解决方案正引起广泛关注。比尔格松先生的公司ViaEuropa已与一个代表瑞典各地住房公司的协会签署联合协议，共同开发小型电网。这些公司共同管理着一百万套公寓。
The solution he came up with is grabbing attention. Mr. Birgersson’s company, ViaEuropa, has signed a joint agreement to develop small grids with an association that represents housing companies across Sweden. Together, the companies manage one million apartments.
本周，比尔格松先生在纽约气候周上谈到了该项目。但世界各地的专家已经注意到了这一点。伦敦全球能源智库Ember的董事金斯米尔·邦德称比尔格松先生的项目是“一个时机成熟的想法”。
This week, Mr. Birgersson spoke about the project at Climate Week in New York. But experts around the world have already taken notice. Kingsmill Bond, a director of Ember, a global energy think tank in London, called Mr. Birgersson’s project “an idea whose time has come.”
