New national lab reports: Rapid growth expected for grid-scale U.S. storage capacity
Energy storage has rapidly evolved from a niche application just a few years ago into an increasingly cost competitive and fast-growing technology that complements wind and solar. And two new national lab reports find storage growth is poised to explode. Grid-scale U.S. energy storage capacity could increase five-fold by 2050 according to the latest report from NREL’s Storage Futures Study ...

Managing Battery Charging - Using Diversion Loads
Tcharge regulation can be relatively simple: When the I-'1/batteries are full, the controller disconnects the PV r array. Adding wind or microhydro to the system makes charge regulation more complicated, since turbines may overspecd if unloaded. Often, diversion control is the solution. Off-grid "hybrid" combinations of solar, wind, or microhydro have been around for decades. These renewable ...

Vast Solar in talks with Australian mining groups for first CSP plant
Modular CSP developer Vast Solar sees Australia's mining sector as the greatest deployment opportunity before wind and PV growth creates wholesale market openings, Craig Wood, CEO of Vast Solar, told New Energy Update. Vast Solar's quest to build Australia's first large-scale CSP plant could soon be boosted by new offtake contracts with the mining sector. The developer is currently in talks ...

Earn money through electricity consumption - soon negative electricity prices?
Will the coming additions of solar and wind capacities deliver more than 3,000 hours of negative electricity prices in 2030? So should one build up stupid consumption (something like an environmental heating system, for example) in order to earn massive amounts of money? Hardly, because today's market order will change completely or collapse beforehand. There is a widespread belief that we ...

Turbine suppliers invest in multi-brand services as competition mounts
Wind turbine suppliers are investing in supply chain solutions and combining new technologies with data advantages to win service contracts for third-party turbines, leading suppliers told the Wind Operations Dallas 2019 conference. As intense price competition squeezes margins, turbine suppliers are targeting a greater share of the growing operations and maintenance (O&M) market. ...

Solar construction and retrofitting obligation for all buildings and structural systems?
Climate-active despite Brexit Great Britain has declared the "climate emergency" - just like London, Los Angeles, Oakland, Vancouver, Basel, now Constance - while in Germany even in some environmental protection circles there are discussions about whether the word should be used at all. And about what a “climate emergency” is supposed to mean and bring about. On the Brexit-shaken ...

WOW: Solar without subsidies now also in Germany!
As announced in my blog of January 21, 2019 "We will abolish the EEG in 2019", the implementation and project planning of large PV systems without subsidies have now been officially announced. A historical development - the third pillar besides EEG and own consumption, "PPA" is the key word. We'll talk about that on February 26, 2019 in Berlin, more here . While around 2 GW of wind energy with ...

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 ...

Inclusion of biodiesel and PV modules in a wind diesel hybrid system supplying electrical loads on a small farm
The growing interest in biofuels is a consequence of the need to reduce operating costs of energy systems and the need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. The same applies to PV modules, comprising a solution environmentally desirable for power generation. This paper presents a study on the inclusion of biodiesel and PV modules in a system already in operation on a small farm in southern ...

Oceans of Energy
Technologies that harness the energy of moving water or temperature differentials in the oceans promise to deliver abundant carbon-free electricity. Long before humans got hooked on fossil fuels, we learned how to harness the power of water to do work. Rivers ran mills that ground flour, sawed logs or spun looms that transformed fibers into textiles. Later generations realized that moving water ...

A hybrid wind/solar/diesel stand alone system optimisation for remote areas in Algeria
While Algeria has an important potential of wind and solar energies, their share in the primary energy supply is relatively low compared to the fossil energy. In this paper, we propose to carry out a techno–economical study of a hybrid stand alone system in order to draw the attention to the feasibility of such systems. For this purpose, sites of Hassi–R'mel and Adrar have been ...

The advantages and disadvantages of wind energy
The wind power generation is developing fast during the past several years. As a source of Green energy is a possible solution for the energy crisis in the near future. But it's not a perfect type of energy without any drawbacks. So, let's look into this type renewable energy for get some more idea. Advantages: 1. Wind energy is clean energy, consuming no fossil fuels to generate electricity. ...

Application of genetic algorithm and neural network for sizing of hybrid photovoltaic wind power generation (HPVWPG) systems
In this paper, a methodology for sizing of hybrid photovoltaic-wind power generation (HPVWPG) system is described. The purpose of this methodology is to predict the PV-generator area, the capacity of the battery and the capacity of the wind generator in isolated (remote) areas, where the meteorological data (solar irradiation, air temperature, wind speed, etc) are not always available. For this ...
