“Solar Wave” Sets The Stage For New Flow Battery In Wisconsin
A new organic flow battery is getting a test run at a gas power plant in Wisconsin.
Grid Resiliency May Include Infrastructure Designed To Fail
Researchers are designing electric grid infrastructure that fails in a controlled way so it can be repaired more quickly.
U.S. Department of Energy Awards $45 Million to Advance Solar Manufacturing & Grid Technologies
Funding Creates New Industry-Wide Consortium to Strengthen Grid Infrastructure, Supports American-Made Products That Accelerate Clean Electricity
Study Kicks Off Multiyear Effort To Modernize U.S. Electricity Markets
A DOE Collaboration Is Developing Resources for National Grid Operators
US Funding For Solar–Hydro Hybrid Energy, Microgrid, Grid Storage, & Blockchain Research
This fourth round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects concerns solar–hydro hybrid power plants, other solar hybrid power plants, microgrids, grid storage integration, and blockchain technology.
US Funding For Solar Systems Integration & AI Applications In Solar Energy
This second round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects we’re looking at concern Systems Integration and AI Applications in Solar Energy with Emphasis on Machine Learning. Below are DOE summaries of how it intends to help on these topics as well as awardee details from the DOE.
US Government Puts $130 Million More Into Solar Tech
Continuing a decades-long trend, the US Department of Energy (DOE) has put a few million dollars into further research and development of solar power technologies — $130 million, to be precise.
Solar Modeling & Monitoring Granularity Boost Efficiency
The days of over-designing and over-building solar power plants to make up for unforeseen generation losses are gone. This is largely thanks to the emerging solar strategy of pursuing every tenth of a percent of system performance by better understanding the impact of equipment specifications, plant monitoring, and maintenance on the Performance Ratio, and therefore on the bottom line.
If We Want To See More EV Adoption, We Need To Educate The Masses
The average car consumer doesn’t know enough about EVs to make a qualified decision about a purchase. Movements to educate the public need to become pervasive.
