Are Microgrids Catching On?
The real trick to opening the floodgates on microgrids is clear regulatory language that allows microgrid developers to serve the needs of an organization or community while also making the local electric utility whole for their services and investment.
The "Redox" Principle
The energy density of the nanoFlowcell® is currently 20 times higher than that of a lead accumulator. This means the stored energy provides a range 20 times higher than with a battery of the same weight.
Very Large Lithium-ion Batteries
In the case of the relatively new market for very large, ground-based lithium-ion battery packs for such things as grid peak shaving, weight is not a primary issues, volume can matter somewhat but life, cost over life, performance and reliability matter greatly.
With Skilled Volunteers and a High-Performing Kyocera Solar Array, Fallbrook Seventh-day Adventist Church Slashes Energy Costs
The 30kW grid-tie system uses 126 Kyocera solar modules and is currently supplying more power to the grid than the church consumes.
Coal and Gas to Stay Cheap, but Renewables Still Win Race on Costs
This year's edition of BNEF's long-term forecast sees $11.4 trillion investment in global power generation capacity over 25 years, with electric vehicles boosting electricity demand by 8% in 2040.
State of the Market: Wind Power Projects in Egypt
The broad range of wind energy project sizes and locations in Egypt demonstrates the increasing importance of the country as a renewable energy producer, supplier, modular manufacturer, skills trainer and investment opportunity.
Solar Signage Board
Since they have to be lit up at night, the advantages of using independent solar modules and inbuilt battery have many advantages.
Storage Solutions for Alternative Energy
One obstacle that is holding back adoption to renewables is the lack of any efficient means of storing this energy. However, some highly innovative solutions might be able to help solve the issue of preserving alternative energy for long-term use.
Southern States Lead Growth in Biomass Electricity Generation
Several states, especially those in the South Census region, have increased their electricity generation from biomass.
The Pantex Renewable Energy Project (PREP)
The wind farm is playing a key role in helping Pantex achieve President Obama's directive that the federal government lead the way in clean energy and energy efficiency, with his Administration's goal for the federal government to get 20% of its electricity from renewable resources by 2020.
Middle Schoolers Dream Big with Their Solar and Battery Powered Cars
The race, sponsored by the Energy Department, its National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, Jeffco Public Schools, and Dakota Ridge High School, is designed to boost interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
Moving off-the-grid and into a micro-house in the Southern Adirondacks.
New York State resident Matt Holleran refuses to be one of the many Americans paying one third of their income on housing. For that reason, he's moving off-the-grid and into his very own micro-house in the Southern Adirondacks.
The Importance of Removing Contaminants From Biogas
The cleaning or purification of Biogas involves a complex mix of filtration and separation technologies but even the most basic of installations can benefit from the advantages of clean, dry gas.
PJM's New Rules Skew Against Clean Energy; Silver Lining in a Lower Forecast
At a time when countries around the world have committed to cutting climate-warming pollution, our nation's largest electric grid operator is increasing reliance on fossil-fueled power to meet future electricity demand.
Is Kinetic Energy the Future?
Kinetic energy is power that is gained from motion, and this motion can involve vehicles, individuals, and any other object.
