The Future of Energy Storage
Wednesday, 29 June 2022
by sakudarte
In May 2022 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology published the report “The Future of Energy Storage”, founded by The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and The Heising-Simons Foundation.Energy storage enables cost-effective deep decarbonization of electric power systems with high wind and solar penetration. Deep decarbonization will require massive investments in multiple energy storage technologies, as well

Agrivoltaics: The New Frontier
Wednesday, 15 June 2022
by Ellen Ross
“It’s now or never” is the succintest way to abbreviate the latest warning from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). If the world is going to avoid the worst of the climate crisis, climate mitigation needs to happen now and with greater impact. Specifically the world needs to reduce global carbon emissions by 2025

Airborne Wind Energy: Q&A With a Developer
Wednesday, 08 June 2022
by sakudarte
Airborne wind energy (AWE) is “the conversion of wind energy into electricity using tethered flying devices”. The research began in 1980, in 40 years interest and investment in AWE have grown substantially, especially in the last decade, with approximately 70 active research entities including over 20 technology developers globally. Research found “potential for, and technical viability of,

The Importance Of Grid Codes In Renewables Scenarios
Wednesday, 25 May 2022
by sakudarte
An increasing number of countries aim to replace polluting conventional generators with clean renewables. It is expected that this would lead to solar and wind production covering almost 80% of the total generation. The change in the electric system going from dispatchable conventional generators to renewables production will require investments and support from TSOs, market

All the Benefits of including Storage in your Solar Project
Thursday, 12 May 2022
by sakudarte
Energy storage is going to be one of the most important technologies in the shift toward clean energy systems. Because solar panels and wind turbines don´t operate continuously due to the intermittency of solar radiation and wind currents, the owner of these projects are forced to sell the electricity when these resources are available, and

Chart: What will a net-zero grid energy mix actually look like?
Wednesday, 04 May 2022
by Maria Virginia Olano
Massive amounts of new wind and solar will be a make-or-break ingredient of a net-zero grid. Solar power generated less than 4 percent of the world’s electricity in 2021; by 2050, solar’s share needs to jump to 33 percent. Wind power produced less than 7 percent of electricity globally last year; by 2050, that needs to grow to 35 percent. So said the International Energy Agency last year when it laid

Italian solar sector defines standards for agrivoltaics
Friday, 22 April 2022
by Emiliano Bellini
Italian renewable energy associations ANIE Rinnovabili, Italia Solare, and Elettricità Futura have released a joint position paper defining a series of standards for agrivoltaics projects. A document compiled by three Italian renewables associations identifies with extreme precision the area that is allowed to be used for power generation in the two most common agrivoltaics configurations — solar arrays with elevated

Robots Disrupting The Wind Turbine Maintenance Industry
Wednesday, 06 April 2022
by Karlis Upsavs
In an effort to combat global warming, wind turbines are on the rise. In order to make wind energy more efficient, turbine size is increasing. Wind energy is the cleanest form of energy, but there is a problem. The potential energy from wind is lost due to various technical issues – such as cracks, lightning
