“We need to tap into the 1,000 GW of storage-hybrid facilities in the queue that can deliver low cost, flexible resources. Adding new transmission infrastructure and a diverse energy mix need to be top priorities.”On enhancing resiliency, the report found that battery storage is outperforming expectations, providing flexibility to balance solar ...
By Caitlin McDermott-Murphy, NRELThe grid needs to change.To electrify everything from vehicles to heating systems to stovetops, the U.S. grid must expand by about 57% and get more flexible, too. Solar and wind energy are the renewables most likely to dominate a future clean energy grid. ...
Upgrading the system and quadrupling growth in wind and solar capacity requires an additional upfront investment of €300-750 billion. ...
Heliatek will exhibit at the Big 5 Solar – one of the leading solar exhibitions in the Middle East. ...
In their search for integrating innovative technologies and the need for sustainability they are interested in the development of flexible, light weight solar modules. Due to the status of the Abbey being a national monument no reinforcement of the roof is possible and solar modules need to be lightweight and seamlessly integrated in the entire ...
Depending on the use and application, flexible solar cells need a fair life time. It is important to develop materials and processes that can protect the sensitive chemical and physical composition of thin-film solar cells, during the required lifetime. Although glass is an excellent inert barrier, it is not flexible enough. ...
In a collaboration between USA based MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp and European Solliance Solar Research a power conversion efficiency of 26.5% on a tandem solar cell was established. The architecture combines two thin-film solar cell technologies: a top rigid semi-transparent perovskite solar cell with a bottom ...
In order to increase the energy yield from a noise barrier, we can make use of albedo. A large portion of the sunlight is, depending on their albedo, reflected by buildings, plants, roads and forests. By developing double sided solar cells, we can harvest extra energy from this diffuse light. And last Friday, we tested the first double sided thin-film module that we made in the project ...
In the Weperpolder, next to the floating solar system of Groenleven, is the test setup of the TKI project Solar @ Sea. ...
The test rig with flexible solar foil on a 72-meter double guardrail ran for a year along the N194 near Heerhugowaard. ...
Clean energy software firm Smarter Grid Solutions (SGS) has developed five methods that could double the capacity available for solar panels and other distributed energy resources (DERs) to connect to individual electricity substations. Using the company's ANM Element software product, utility companies can monitor the amount of power generated by solar ...
When adopted, the updated Energy Code included community solar as an alternative option to rooftop PV systems. "Community solar was built into the Energy Code to provide flexibility in satisfying the solar requirement," said Commissioner J. ...
NEXTracker, a Flex company, introduced today a new member of its smart single-axis solar tracker family—NX GeminiTM. The next-generation two-module-in-portrait (2P) tracker is optimized for customer sites with hard soils, challenging terrain, irregular parcel shapes and high-wind requirements. The combination of NEXTracker’s flagship NX HorizonTM and NX Gemini offers ...
The world's leading clean energy company, Hanergy Mobile Energy Holding Group, today announced its official entry in the New Lingang Area, a newly added area to the six-year-old Shanghai Free Trade Zone, which touted preferential tax and supportive policies to attract high-tech companies. The new Lingang area, located on the southeast coast of Shanghai, is already home to some leading companies, ...
Three substations in these cities will also be equipped with other smart grid technologies such as new remote controls that increase system reliability and enhanced safety and cyber security.The test bed will accelerate the development of distributed resources, which include customer-hosted renewables like rooftop solar; flexible resources like batteries, ...
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and The Solar Foundation are joining the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), several national residential solar companies, and other nonprofit organizations to develop new automated permit software for distributed solar and storage, reducing the cost of ...
Three feeders and substations in these cities will also be equipped with other smart grid technologies such as new remote controls that increase system reliability and enhanced safety and cyber security.The test bed will accelerate the development of distributed resources, which include customer-hosted renewables like rooftop solar; flexible resources like ...
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network MAESTRO PhD Fellowship: Large area fabrication of flexible perovskite solar cell (PSC) modules by industrial methods. The European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network MAESTRO brings together 10 academic and 7 industrial partners listed on the MAESTRO web page https://maestro-itn.eu. ...
The two Turin based companies join a niche market of solar applications, combining the efficiency and flexibility of Solbian products to the high aesthetic value of ILOOXS solutions. The nautical field, where Solbian is leader, represents the baseline market, but the attention is also towards bigger markets, architecture in particular, where Elon Musk is alone at ...
