It was in 1965 that the artist Yoko Ono developed her concept of a LIGHT HOUSE and just two years later she was asked by John Lennon to build one for him in his garden; this was impossible though, as at the time the Light House was purely conceptual! It would take little more than 40 years until Yoko Ono converted the once conceptual Light House into the very physical experience of the ...
Tohoku Electric Power and Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions (Toshiba ESS) recently (4/26) entered into an agreement to conduct joint research on electricity trading between individuals (P2P* energy trading) using distributed energy resources.In this joint research, Tohoku Electric Power will mainly be configuring settings of the simulation conditions (solar ...
The Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory has announced the demonstration of a 45.7 percent conversion efficiency for a four-junction solar cell at 234 suns concentration. This achievement represents one of the highest photovoltaic research cell efficiencies achieved across all types of solar cells. ...
