Sandia leads development of algorithms for resilient microgrids ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Self-healing electrical grids: It may sound like a concept from science fiction, with tiny robots or some sentient tech crawling around fixing power lines, but in a reality not far from fiction a team of researchers is bringing this … [continued]
Sandia Labs is building a concentrated solar power demonstration facility that is scheduled for completion in 2024.
Researchers at Sandia Labs have invented a new 3D printing technique to make more efficient solar absorbers for small scale CSP facilities. The work is supported by the US and Indian governments.
This week, the Washington Post reported a widening 80-mile crack threatening one of Antarctica’s biggest ice shelves. A large chunk of Larsen C, the most northern major ice shelf, may break off in the coming years. Of course, the probable loss of Larsen C is a terrifying reminder that climate change is … [continued]
