Battling Revenue Erosion: Sharper SOC Accuracy Can Lift BESS Earnings by 11 %
For lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries—now powering more than 80 % of new BESS builds—SOC error margins of 10-20 % points are routine because LFP’s flat voltage profile makes precise measurements tricky.
SOLAR CAR CHALLENGE BRINGS TEENS FROM ACROSS U.S. TO DFW FOR EPIC RACE
Twenty-seven teams of high school students are preparing to head to Texas for the 32nd annual Solar Car Challenge, when they will race around Texas Motor Speedway for four days to see which team’s car goes the greatest distance. The race begins Sunday, July 20.
A Foundation for Success: Navigating Bedrock & 180-mph Winds
Bahamas Solar & Renewables took a non-traditional path to build their first solar site by bypassing the use of an EPC. Instead, they hired local contractors to execute their civil and electrical work. This initiative ensured economic support for the local community.
Inspection of critical infrastructure using intelligent drones
A research group at the University of Klagenfurt has designed a real-time capable drone based on object-relative navigation using artificial intelligence. Also on board: a USB3 Vision industrial camera from the uEye LE family from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH.
