Turning the Tide for Renewables in Alaska
NREL Tidal Research Reveals Opportunities for Rebuilding Alaska's Economy with Renewable Energy
NREL Researchers Point Toward Energy Efficiency Instead of Long-Term Storage
As more communities plan to eventually rely on 100% renewable energy, the researchers offer a strategy that could guide their paths-one that shifts away from long-duration storage.
Next Generation of Wind Turbines
Wind turbines can have negative impacts on ecosystems present in the air and underwater. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has been researching solutions with the help of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Solar Energy Infrastructure: Is It Cyber Secure?
Increasing the production of solar energy comes with specific security concerns. Before evaluating the safety of a smart grid, individuals must assess the technology's structure and functions.
Electric Vehicles' Unsustainable Little Secret - Batteries Are the Weak Link in the Sustainability Chain
Typically made from raw materials including cobalt, nickel and manganese, lithium-ion batteries are extremely expensive to produce and require high levels of mining activity.
Electrifying the World with Off Grid Solar
Electrification is just beginning in many parts of the world. For western countries that have enjoyed electricity for a century, this is hard to imagine, but for 1 billion people, kerosene lamps are their reality.
The Importance of Effective Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery to Weather the Next Big Storm
While well-defined BCP and DR plans are standard practice for industry compliance and control frameworks, keeping them updated and ensuring their viability is just as important as the plans themselves.
Utilizing Ocean Heat as a Renewable Energy Source
An increasingly researched renewable resource is called ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), in which the sea's temperature variations are used to produce power. Utilizing this heat could prove to be a great achievement.
With Increased Cyber Risk, OT Leaders Have an Opportunity to Shine
We've had multiple reminders in 2021 that digital connectivity of IT and OT infrastructure requires proportional attention risk management to proactively neutralize ransomware and full array of attack vector focused on industrial environments.
The Race to Dominate the EV Market - Does Size Really Matter?
Gigafactories have several advantages over smaller facilities. They can eliminate some of the risks of complex supply chains, they are built with sustainability in mind from day one and they spur economic growth by creating employment opportunities for thousands of people.
Ocean Reef Club at Key Largo―Case Study - RibBracket™III and S-5-PVKIT®2.0
The club is located on a private peninsula, bound on three sides by water and on the fourth side by federal and state lands. The area is subject to 180 mph, Category 5 hurricane winds, making installation of a low-profile, roof-mounted system essential.
NREL, Mines Insight Could Lead to Better Silicon Solar Panels
The lessons learned at the atomic level could lead to improvements in the way manufacturers strengthen their products against what is known as light-induced degradation.
NREL Enables Affordable Housing by Expanding Beyond Energy Efficiency
When looking at how energy efficiency can lower housing costs, "Utility bills are the easiest target," said NREL engineer Kristin Field-Macumber. "Now we are also looking at advanced manufacturing and making production more efficient."
A New Solid State Battery Surprises the Researchers Who Created It
The battery uses both a solid state electrolyte and an all-silicon anode, making it a silicon all-solid-state battery. The initial rounds of tests show that the new battery is safe, long lasting, and energy dense.
e-Mobility. Battery Pack Manufacturing and Beyond: How 3 Welding Technologies Stack Up
In battery pack manufacturing, the cells are often already assembled and the engineer is challenged with coming up with a design to join them in series and parallel to deliver optimum energy. A typical Li-ion cell is constructed of nickel plated cold rolled steel.
