Bulgarian firm International Power Supply (IPS) has commenced construction of its second battery energy storage system (BESS) production facility in Sofia, Bulgaria, which will increase its annual BESS production capacity to 4,000 MWh. ...
Enteligent Inc., a developer of solar-powered DC-to-DC chargers for electric vehicles, has raised $6 million in capital from investors to scale the commercialization of its photovoltaic module-level power optimizers and its DC-to-DC based bi-directional EV chargers. ...
Today’s transmission system simply is not designed to ingest all that remote power. Bursts of power on an especially sunny day in the desert could cause grid faults—little blips that can propagate and cause outages—or overload power lines.But what if we could better control where and how solar energy—or all our energy—flows within the ...
A challenging and particularly promising type of grid simulation, called electromagnetic transient analysis, or EMT, has the potential to enhance planners’ understanding of how modern power electronics will respond when faults interrupt the flow of power. ...
Swiss-based Alpiq has placed an order with Merus Power to build a 30 MW/36 MWh energy storage facility in Valkeakoski to be connected to Fingrid's grid. Merus Power has carried out the project development work and is responsible for the overall supply of the energy storage facility. In addition, the parties have concluded a contract for operation maintenance services. ...
In a significant leap towards sustainable energy solutions, NAUTILUS and SolydEra proudly announce the successful installation of a groundbreaking 40 kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) system at the premises of one of the Finnish power companies in Tampere area. The system was designed as the first prototype to validate the efficacy of SolydEra stacks within given configurations. ...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are leading the way in understanding the effects of electrical faults in the modern U.S. power grid.Faults are abnormal conditions in an electrical circuit that interrupt the flow of power, with the potential to cause blackouts that affect thousands of customers. ...
Up to $3 million per project is available to address high-priority grid technologies including: Improved transmission utilization Operational situational awareness Distribution Energy Management Systems (DERMS) Inverter based resource integration Power electronics Grid modeling Data analytics Artificial intelligence/machine learning Protection systemsThe ...
The UK-based consortium will develop a hydrogen-powered double-deck bus, using a first-of-its-kind fuel cell technology from Bramble Energy; Aeristech’s high efficiency air compressor, and Equipmake’s motor power electronics and battery management system. ...
All project teams submitted proposals must include at least two National Laboratories and submissions are encouraged to include substantive participation from external stakeholders such as industry, academia, and non-governmental organizations. Topic areas Topic Area 1: Power and Controls Electronics (PACE). This topic focuses on addressing gaps in smart' ...
Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) has announced the Operation and Planning Tools for Inverter-based resource Management and Availability for Future Power Systems (OPTIMA) funding opportunity, which will award $30 million in funding for projects that address emerging challenges and opportunities for grid planning and operations engineers and technicians ...
Bilal Demir, Chemical and Polymer Engineer, Lucas Cajé de Souza, Electronic Engineer, Nathan Le Flao, Business Developer, and Antoinette Sandy Sodjo, Print Engineer, and participated to the four consecutive days of talks, pitches and meetings. ...
IBRs are solar photovoltaic, wind, fuel cell and battery storage resources that use power electronic devices to change direct current power, produced by generators, to alternating current power, to be transmitted on the bulk-power system. ...
BeFC is participating in MassChallenge’s 2022 Early-Stage Program MassChallenge has been harnessing the collective power of the global innovation community to grow and transform businesses and economies for over 10 years. ...
Delta Electronics (Americas), Ltd., a subsidiary of Delta Electronics, Inc. and a leader in power and thermal management technologies and provider of smart energy-saving solutions, this week demonstrated a next-generation SiC MOSFET solid state transformer (SST)-based 400kW extreme fast EV charger to its U.S. DOE grant program partners General ...
Magnetic materials play an increasingly significant role in numerous fields such as power generation, electronic appliances, and digital data storage. As a well-established material provider, Alfa Chemistry announced the offering of various magnetic metal complexes this September. ...
This has caused a growing interest in using energy storage technologies to augment solar power systems. These storage systems can charge during the day (giving the excess solar energy generated somewhere to go) and discharge during the evening peak power usage periods (when energy is worth the most). ...
The device, called a grid-forming inverter, plays a critical role in converting direct current (DC) electricity produced at, for example, a solar power farm, to alternating current (AC) electricity, the standard that comes from power outlets, while maintaining the stability of power gridThe model devised by PNNL engineers is designed to allow ...
Each home has a battery storage and power electronic control system, or BlockBoxTM, which connects to the neighborhood distribution network, where it communicates and shares energy as needed within the community. A central energy park is located near the entrance of Southshore Bay, containing supplemental batteries, optional additional generation for use during ...
Micrometals, a leader in high performance core solutions for power applications, continues to expand their prototyping and custom core capabilities with the expansion of new E Core variations available. ...
