  • Video: Big battery to store energy as liquid air

    One of the largest energy storage projects in Europe is to be completed by 2023 and will bring a 50 MW/250 MWh liquid air energy storage facility to the Manchester, U.K., region.

  • Watch how iron powder strengthens brewery sustainability

    A brewery in the Netherlands has become the first facility worldwide to use iron powder as a substitute for fossil fuels at an industrial scale.

  • Video: Flexible Cat 6A cables for aerospace applications

    The halogen-free and flame retardant cables perform exceptionally well when continuously flexed and exposed to extreme temperature conditions.

  • Transmission line repairs hardly affecting utility customers

    A thing of the past - blackouts lasting hours during line repairs and maintenance.

  • Thermochromic windows block solar heat gain

    The color-changing window reduces the need for air conditioning and generates electricity.

  • Watch: Subsea interconnector to bring clean energy from France to the UK

    The interconnector is expected to deliver 1.2% of electricity needs in the U.K., enough to power up to one million homes with zero-carbon energy.

  • Cable management market analysis and industry forecast, 2020-2027

    Increased demand driven by technological advancements and commercialization of renewable energy will help this market expand during the forecast period.

  • Video: HUBER+SUHNER expands RADOX EV-C pass through system with multi-core cables

    The multi-core cable system is engineered for use with auxiliary devices within electric vehicles.

  • New right angle 2.92 mm cable assemblies and connectors

    The 2.92 mm connector was developed for use to 40 GHz.

  • Natural gas rules the US power sector

    The primary fuel commanded 43% of generating capacity and provided 39% of electricity generation in 2019, more than any other source.

  • The geography of power transmission in California

    Energy providers source resources far from demand loads to the detriment of efficiency and sustainability metrics.

  • Watch: Renewable energy trifecta to replace coal in Oregon

    The era of coal-based power in Oregon has ended with the closure of the only coal-fired power facility in the state.

  • Shore-based power planned for Dutch and Belgian ports

    The provision of shore-based power for inland ports is expected to curb emissions associated with diesel-based energy systems operated on moored vessels.

  • An improved organic redox flow battery

    A redox flow battery designed with a water-based electrolyte and electrodes composed of organic material has been assembled and demonstrated.

  • Watch: A new ShAPE for efficient copper wire

    A new extrusion process and the inclusion of this material yield copper wire that is 5% more conductive than annealed copper, the industry standard for motor applications.

  • Narrowing the cost path to inertial fusion power

    A modeling analysis indicates that inertial fusion may be able to compete directly with renewables in terms of cost.

  • Watch: First room-temperature superconductor developed

    The thermal challenge to broader deployment of superconductors may have been overcome with the discovery of a material capable of superconductivity at room temperature.

  • The case for nuclear cogeneration in the UK

    A new generation of nuclear reactors could help the U.K. contain carbon emissions by harnessing surplus energy to heat homes, produce hydrogen and decarbonize industry.

  • Watch: Microreactors could keep electrified semis trucking

    A rest stop power supply solution in the form of nuclear microreactors could fill a gap in recharging infrastructure for electric long-haul, 18-wheel trucks.

  • Facility tests wind turbine blades under realistic conditions

    The system excites wind turbine blades in two directions at a time, allowing larger blades to be tested more quickly and accurately.
