The technology replaces the volatile and highly flammable organic solvents found in electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries with saltwater to create a safer and more efficient battery.
This fifth round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects involve solar PV plus agriculture and small innovative solar PV and CSP projects.
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.
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.
Researchers at the University of Central Florida say they have solved the dilemma of the rotating detonation rocket engine, which burns fuel more efficiently.
Spray on perovskite solar cells could make abundant solar electricity possible worldwide but finding the correct formula could require billions of calculations. Researchers at the University of Central Florida think artificial intelligence could help.
Presenting at and covering the EV Transportation & Technology Summit in Cocoa, Florida, last year was a genuine pleasure and very informative. I’m happy to share that (despite my wife’s immigration visa being in limbo for ~9 months longer than it’s supposed to be … and counting) I’ll be presenting … [continued]
A new technology allowing for the creation of electrical cables that can both transmit and also store electricity was recently created by researchers at the University of Central Florida. As it stands currently, the technology is based around the use of copper wires, but as the technology is developed further … [continued]
Originally published on Cost of Solar. Thanks to the work of the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), more than 100 emergency shelter schools (Enhanced Hurricane Protection Area) now have solar panel systems of 10 kW in capacity installed on them. The SunSmart E-Shelter Program, which has now added more than one … [continued]
Corn has been flaming out as a biofuel crop, and taking its place is a regular fruit salad of non-food and waste food alternatives. The latest up and and comer is being developed by researcher Henry Daniell of the University of Central Florida, who naturally turned to oranges for his … [continued]
