Lessons from COP30 - The critical role of grid stability in the energy transition

As the world pushes to triple renewable power capacity by 2030, attention is shifting from adding generation to preparing grids for the change.

Optimizing Tantalum Sheets for Sputtering Targets in Optical and Solar Applications

From advanced optics to next-generation solar cells, engineers across the United States are turning to high-quality tantalum sheets and tantalum plates to ensure durability and efficiency in demanding environments.

Small Modular Reactors and Microreactors: A Review of Safety, Economics, Regulation, and Environmental Impacts in Energy Transition

SMRs aim to replace traditional carbon-based fuels, aiming to reduce the negative environmental impacts that these fuels cause. This paper evaluates their safety, economics, regulatory frameworks, and environmental impacts based on recent articles and developments.

How UHPC Accelerated Research on Degradation Trends in LFP Cells: A Case Study with Eniko Zsoldos, PhD and Dalhousie University

Using ultra-high precision coulometry measurements and various other methods, Eniko and the team demonstrated that the commonly assumed robustness of LFP may not hold under certain operational windows.

Energy Storage Technology: A Vital Component of a Modern Power Grid

With enough energy storage on the grid, we will no longer have to size infrastructure to the highest peak. We can reduce system inefficiencies, improve utilization of assets, and lower the cost to the ratepayers.

Battery Powered Generator vs Solar Powered Generator: What is the Difference?

Learn the key differences between battery and solar powered generators, their pros and cons, and which option best fits your home or off-grid backup power needs.

Renewable Grid Integration

Ensuring grid stability with high levels of IBRs is a growing technical challenge. Traditional grids derived strength and inertia from big spinning generators, but when those are replaced by solar inverters and wind turbines, the system behaves differently.
