Green Energy Season 2025 (May 4 - 10)
By now, there is no debate about the need for renewable energy — the remaining questions are about scale, speed and strategy.
Classiq and Wolfram join CERN’s Open Quantum Institute to develop quantum optimization for smart power grids
The organizations will collaborate on applying hybrid quantum-classical methods to challenges in electrical network optimization.
METEcon multi-wire connectors from AutomationDirect
They are suitable for use in electrical panels, power connections and other industrial applications.
ThinkLabs launches new AI agent to strengthen grid reliability
By accurately estimating grid conditions, ThinkLabs AI Agent helps prevent grid congestions, integrate variable resources and enhance operational safety and reliability.
Smart new backlighting option For OKW’s customized plastic enclosures
The backlighting effect is achieved by machining small indentations into the underside of a panel.
Kollmorgen introduces new high-voltage IC Ironcore DDL direct drive linear motor
For medium- and high-voltage applications, Kollmorgen’s latest DDL motor offers unprecedented performance, versatility and simplicity for machine builders in Europe, North America and Asia.
Lyten secures domestically sourced sulfur to supply its US lithium-sulfur manufacturing facilities
Lyten is building a U.S.-sourced and manufactured battery supply chain that eliminates dependency on China.
Switzerland's high-tech GoldenPass Express train
Essentially, the train approaches Zweisimmen Station at 15 km/s, the transition zone is entered and the moving components in the bogie mechanism are unlocked.
Radioisotope generators - Inside the ‘nuclear batteries’ that power faraway spacecraft
The farther into space you go, the weaker the Sun’s light becomes and the less useful it is for powering systems with solar panels. Even in the inner solar system, spacecraft such as lunar or Mars rovers need alternative power sources. So how do engineers power missions in the outer reaches of our solar system and beyond?
Precision Micro secures series production for fuel cell vehicle powertrain component
A pioneering etching process will be used to produce the component, which is designed to facilitate the recirculation of unused hydrogen in a fuel cell system.
Educational sessions slated for BIOGAS AMERICAS 2025
The sessions will focus on the industry’s growth markets and its future landscape.
Next milestone achieved for the Eplan Data Portal
Access more than two-million sets of static device data from around five hundred manufacturers.
Concentrated solar power systems for large-scale energy generation
Unlike photovoltaic systems, concentrated solar power uses mirrors or lenses to focus sunlight onto a receiver, generating heat that can drive a steam turbine to produce thermal power.
New life for old solar cells
New technology offers an opportunity to recover and recycle precious materials and thereby shrink the environmental load of photovoltaic waste.
Test bed bolsters power conductor performance
The facility enables utilities and manufacturers to evaluate new transmission line technologies for long time periods in extremes of wind, weather, temperature and electrical load conditions.
Trystar launches high amperage docking station with integrated automatic transfer switch
The station is engineered to prevent downtime, maximize safety on the job and help keep a company’s reputation intact.
Renewable energy greens the US grid
The U.S. now boasts a contribution of 313 GW of clean energy connected to the grid.
HEXPOL Compounding Americas expands portfolio
These products are tailored for the architectural glazing and power transmission markets.
Stellarator designed to advance fusion power
A new quasi-isodynamic stellarator configuration that harnesses the high-field potential of high-temperature superconductor magnets is being advanced.
