IEEE 802.16s Standard and Its Use for Distributed Energy Resources
The standard is now being leveraged to support applications at the grid edge including communication with distributed energy resources (DER) including solar, wind and local storage. DER applications are becoming increasingly important in supplying electricity.
Striving For Perfection: Flow Energy Partnership Improves Geothermal Energy Production
For efficient Geothermal energy production, water is heated from the earth's natural heat in geothermal wells, then is cooled off and sent back into the earth to be reused in the energy-generating process.
FPL unveils first solar-plus-storage system in the U.S. that can increase solar power plant output
By incorporating this new technology into the FPL Citrus Solar Energy Center, a solar power plant that was built in 2016, FPL expects to increase the amount of solar energy that the plant can deliver to the electric grid by more than half a million kilowatt-hours a year.
National Solar Jobs Census
The Solar Foundation: The Solar Foundation's annual National Solar Jobs Census is a comprehensive report on employment trends within the U.S. solar industry, nationwide and state by state. The latest Solar Jobs Census includes data for 2017.
Lithium Battery Life Could Double by Adding Graphene Girders to Silicon Electrodes
Graphite has been the default choice of active material for anodes in lithium-ion batteries since their original launch by Sony but researchers and manufacturers have long sought a way to replace graphite with silicon, as it is an abundantly available element with ten times
Research from Schneider Electric Reveals Companies Unprepared for New Energy Economy
Survey of 236 companies shows that organizations feel ready to compete in the evolving energy landscape; but action doesn't match perception.

Solar Energy Industry Sector Gets Slammed
Some analysts have predicted that renewables will make up the greatest part of the nation's energy portfolio in spite of any policies that are implemented.
Community-Scale Solar for Co-ops
Currently, many rural electric cooperatives and municipal utilities can save money through community-scale solar by avoiding generation and demand charges.
Wind power closes 2017 strong, lifting the American economy
The U.S. wind power industry closed 2017 strong, delivering 7,017 megawatts (MW) of new wind power capacity representing $11 billion in new private investment, according to the U.S. Wind Industry Fourth Quarter 2017 Market Report, released today. Twenty-nine new wind farms t
Tesla to set up mini solar stores inside Home Depot
Lauren Thomas for CNBC: The expansion would help Tesla test the appeal of its renewable-energy products to a wider audience. It would help Home Depot use some of its excess floor space to sell new products and gain a competitive edge over its peers.
What are Hot Solar Cells?
Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is a method of converting heat to electricity using infrared light as an intermediary. Combustion heats an emitter to incandescence and the resulting thermal radiation is converted to electricity by a photovoltaic cell.
Corporations Purchased Record Amounts of Clean Power in 2017
Despite looming policy uncertainty in the two most active markets, corporations globally purchased 5.4 gigawatts of clean power through long-term contracts, surpassing 2015's record.
What is Smart Off-Grid?
Smart Off-Grid provides a way for off-grid systems to be monitored, managed and controlled remotely. Built-in, low-cost wireless communications in solar, wind and hybrid-powered devices send critical data to a cloud-based management system in real-time.
