Solar Microgrids and How They Help Our Communities
Solar energy is a great way for both homeowners and eco-friendly businesses to increase their energy independence. But most solar arrays remain connected to the grid, which means they lose some of their convenience when the grid loses power. This is because solar panels wired through the grid don’t really “store” energy. They work in tandem with the power grid to supply ...

The Grid vs. Rooftop Solar
The development of solar micro-grids and mini-grids in the remotest parts of Australia seems to be a rational step in the right direction economically. However, network operators all over the world are still in doubt when it comes to the vast population in urban areas adopting similar methods. The question lies with the homeowner choosing to buy the necessary power generating equipment from the ...

Flexible Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
The essence of combined heat and power technology, over recent decades, is to provide continuous supplies of electricity and heat. This is done at the highest levels of fuel efficiency – typically reaching around 90% – meaning that this has lower carbon emissions than grid-supplied electricity. Historically thermal power plants supplying the grid rarely had heat recovery. Compared to ...

Could Grid Modernization Provide the Path to a More Equal Society?
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 ...

What’s stopping microgrids?
The perfect solution exists. Why don’t we have it? The massive blackouts that blanketed California in October cut power to more than 100,000 businesses. Hospital chains Sutter Health and Adventist Health were forced to cancel procedures and close facilities. Some Trader Joe’s and other supermarkets shuttered for days. Factories scrambled to find backup generators and fuel to run ...

Reverse DC-Coupled PV+Storage
In 2018, Dynapower deployed the first DC-DC converter in a DC-coupled PV+S (PV + storage) configuration at an existing utility-scale PV+S installation. Since then, the innovative solar-plus-storage solution has gained traction due to the ability of DC-coupled PV+S to increase PV energy capture and decrease the costs as compared to AC-coupled energy storage solutions. Recent reports from IHS ...

Want to improve wind and solar power? Bring them together
By combining intermittent renewable energy sources through hybrid projects, developers are taking advantage of the strengths of each. What’s keeping solar and wind power from fully taking over the electric grid? For starters, the sun only shines during the day. Wind blows intermittently, is seasonally variable, and is not always blowing when the energy is needed. But what if solar and wind ...
