A Michigan Smart Energy Code
There’s been a lot of controversy about the Green New Deal. While we like some of the “big” ideas in the plan, there are many other smaller, less news-worthy ways that can readily enhance energy sustainability. One way is for individual states to make sure that their building code makes it easy to incorporate new energy innovations. Why? There’s no question that ...

Surface modified BaTiO 3 -polystyrene nanocomposites for energy storage
Major research efforts have been focused towards developing high dielectric constant ( ε ), low loss (tan δ ) and high electrical breakdown dielectrics for energy storage capacitors. Combining the low cost, ease of processing and high breakdown field strength (BDS) of polymers with the high ε ceramic fillers will result in high-energy storage capacitors. Herein, we ...

Project - Development of the Balasausqandiq Deposit
The Balasausqandiq deposit is a very large black-shale deposit containing vanadium and valuable by-products - uranium, molybdenum, aluminium, rare earth metals and carbon. This deposit is unlike the vast majority of other vanadium deposits, either in production or proposed, in that it is not comprised of vanadiferous titano-magnetite and is amenable to a processing method which is much lower in ...

How Energy Storage Can Pave the Way for Renewable Energy Adoption
Introduction Renewable energy offers a hopeful promise to reduce the energy sector’s carbon footprint, but many challenges must be addressed before it can be more extensively integrated into our society. One of the greatest barriers to widespread adoption is quite simply that due to the nature of renewable energy – the fact that it is produced only when solar rays, wind, etc. are ...

Solar energy based thermal energy storage system using phase change materials
Nowadays for solar heating applications, usage of phase change materials (PCM) to store the heat in the form of latent heat is increased, because large quantity of thermal energy is stored in small volume. The present experimental investigation on the thermal energy storage (TES) system is developed using paraffin and stearic acid as PCM. In the present system solar energy is used as heat source ...

The 1TW EU Solar Pathway for 2030
Recently, the development of renewable energy sources has become an urgent need due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which has led to energy shortages in Europe. European Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans has proposed an energy strategy that aims to separate Europe from Russian gas as soon as possible, while protecting citizens from painful and increasing energy price shocks. ...

Global CSP capacity forecast to hit 22 GW by 2025
New CSP capacity is expected to dip in 2016 and bounce back in 2017 to resume steady growth over the next decade as national energy policies stabilise market conditions, according to the newly released CSP Today Markets Forecast Report: 2015-2025. The CSP industry has come a long way over the last 10 years, demonstrating the technology’s use for a wide range of applications and reinforcing ...

Pumped hydro storage softens blow of wind imbalance penalties
Quarry Battery is developer of the £160 million ($249.2 million) Glyn Rhonwy pumped hydro facility in Wales which will be the UK’s first grid-scale electricity storage facility for decades. The facility will produce nearly 50 MW of electricity using pumped hydro technology. As more fossil fuel-fired generation is taken offline and wind capacity grows, grid operators will ask wind ...

Net-zero path 2050 and the role of energy storage
Summary Present climate pledges, even if fully achieved, would fall short to give the world a chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. Therefore, the world needs to commit on a viable and actionable path to achieve Net-Zero by 2050. While renewables and energy storage are the backbone of the energy transition to achieve Net-Zero by 2050 in the power sector …, the ...
