Whether you’re aiming for full off-grid independence or simply want backup power during grid outages, a well-designed lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery bank can be the backbone of a resilient solar system. ...
China leads the world in solar. As reported by Newsweek, China deployed nearly 40,000 megawatts of solar capacity annually between 2017 and 2023, nearly five times the growth in the second-place U.S., which added approximately 8,100 megawatts annually during the same ...
Hydrogen (H2) production is pivotal in the global shift towards a net-zero carbon economy. Its elemental abundance and zero-emission combustion position it as an ideal renewable energy source. However, the journey to harness hydrogen’s full potential is fraught with challenges, particularly in storage and transportation. Researching viable hydrogen carriers is critical, as conventional ...
With the continued stream of announcements around the early closure of coal-fired power plants across Australia, Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) are a key way forward as coal makes its exit. ...
Emerging economies require more power, every hour, not just when the sun shines or the wind blows, but all the time — reliably, economically, and cleanly. But the world will no longer finance fossil fuel baseload power plants. What to ...
PV farms deliver power only when the sun shines. But people need power all the time. Also, peak demand is usually in the evening or early morning when PV is not operating. Conventional batteries can help somewhat, but they’re expensive and can’t carry the PV system through the night. During bad weather, the system produces nothing. What can be done to enable a PV farm to operate every ...
Wind farms deliver power only when the wind is blowing, and maximum generation only occasionally coincides with peak demand. Yet people need power all the time. Conventional batteries can help somewhat, but they’re expensive and only last a few hours. When the wind subsides, the system produces nothing. What can be done to enable wind farms to operate every hour of the ...
Three major areas are key to meeting our country’s clean energy goals: technology, finance, and policy. The three are interdependent and inform one another, but the linchpin for all of them is policy. Strong, consistent clean energy policy creates the supportive environment that is necessary to spur technology and finance innovation. While the pace of clean energy deployment is ...
The City of Markham nominated TROES for its environmentally friendly Battery Energy Storage product that helps businesses implement clean energy in their power mix. The Donald Cousens Conservation & Environmental Leadership Award is presented to a company that is either a leader in environmental conservation or has modified its business model to be ...
Smart grids have been in the headlines for over a decade. Today we’ve finally reached an impasse: our existing energy infrastructure is no longer fit for purpose. It is crumbling under the weight of abnormal weather conditions, demand fluctuations, and momentous changes to baseloads, historically supported by fossil fuels. Just a few short months ago, flash flooding across Europe left many ...
Remote towns and villages require round-the-clock clean power too, at affordable cost. Solar PV and wind are incomplete solutions. ...
Achieving high levels of renewable energy affordably is particularly challenging for off-grid mines in remote locations because intermittent PV or wind with costly batteries still require dirty, expensive diesel for ...
It’s easy to identify the biggest climate threats: coal and oil-fired power stations pouring emissions into the atmosphere, heavy industry smoking up the sky, and the seemingly endless traffic jams of petrol and diesel polluting vehicles. But another enemy is standing in the way of a greener future; one rarely mentioned because it’s effectively invisible: our legacy energy ...
The Covid-19 pandemic brought the power distribution sector to a tipping point—reform or perish. ...
But the question remains, are the benefits of regularly cleaning dirty solar panels worth the effort? Dirty Solar Panels Mean Less Power Research into the impact of dust and other types of air pollutants on solar panels shows that the accumulation of airborne particles on solar cells can slow the energy output down by more than 25% in some regions. ...
AY Young, also known as AY Musik, is the co-founder of the Battery Tour and one of the United Nation’s Young Leaders for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). These two ambitious undertakings have taken the Kansas City native around the globe, spreading the message about the imperative to act on climate and strengthen communities. The Battery Tour is recognized by the UN as a ...
Energy storage has rapidly evolved from a niche application just a few years ago into an increasingly cost competitive and fast-growing technology that complements wind and solar. And two new national lab reports find storage growth is poised to explode. Grid-scale U.S. energy storage capacity could increase five-fold by 2050 according to the latest report from NREL’s Storage Futures Study ...
At SimpliPhi Power, we believe that access to clean and affordable energy is fundamental to economic growth, social equity, and environmental sustainability – and building our collective future globally. ...
For reference, the DOE predicts that the waste heat from industrial processes in the United States alone can provide over 10 gigawatts of clean electricity, enough to power over 10 million American homes and save U.S. industries over $3,000,000,000 annually while creating as many as 160,000 jobs. ...
Rankine cycle (RC) systems have been used for decades to generate clean electricity from heat, however these systems are restricted to sources of high-temperature heat such as found at large power plants, industrial complexes, and large geothermal sources. ...
