Bitcoin Mining Project with overproduced Energy in Switzerland

I work at an university of applied science. And as you know (if you read the fiat standard) we only waste money with everything we do. (kinda agree)

Anyways, i would like to use some of our money waste to do something with bitcoin mining.

I'm thinking about launching an applied research project in Switzerland to power bitcoin mining with overproduced energy.

I know that this is far from new, but we don't do that yet in Switzerland. My goal would be to link our energy producers (solar, wind) to bitcoin mining to use the overproduced energy.

Following graphic underlines the size of the future surplus:

A big part of my pitch/arguments would be that the energy consumption of bitcoin mining can be very flexible. And therefore it can be used perfectly for overproduced energy from renewable sources and it can help to ensure stability in the grid.

Q: Does anybody have any experience in turning mining gear (i.e. S9) on and off quite often? How quickly can they really be shut down and how long does it take until they start mining again?

Another part would be the analogy that we could, instead of storing energy, store value in bitcoin.
(as energy storage just isn't as far yet, to store all the energy we produce)

​

What do you guys think?
I'd be happy for every additional argument to enhance my pitch, tips, tricks or just your thoughts.
And i'd really appreciate an answer to the mining questions earlier in this post.
