Study: Battery Energy Storage Benefits Solar, Not Wind
New research from Stanford University suggests the high energy requirements of grid-scale batteries make energy storage a good option for solar energy, but not wind farms.
HyRef Technology Revolutionizes Renewable Energy Forecasting
BM has long been known for building some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, but what happens when it applies advanced modeling to solving the intermittency of renewable energy?
The answer is “Hybrid Renewable Energy Forecasting,” a new technology already online in China that produces accurate local weather and renewable energy forecasts as far as one month in advance, down to 15-minute increments.
Breakthrough Renewable Energy Forecasting Coming To US Grid By 2015
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is adding to its already impressive list of renewable energy innovations with a new two-year plan to develop custom forecasting systems for wind and solar generation.
NCAR scientists and engineers will develop technology to predict sudden changes in wind speed, enable wind farm operators to curtail turbines before potentially damaging icy conditions, and predict the amount of energy generated by small-scale solar panel installations.
China Forecast To Hit 150 GW Installed Wind Capacity By 2015
China’s wind industry is forecast to reach 150 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity by 2015 –shattering the central government’s goal of 100GW by 2015 …
