The hybrid solar-wind energy system taps into the strengths of wind and solar energy, providing a solution to enhance the reliability of renewable energy systems.
New motor delivers premium efficiency to South Korea
Heavy-duty electrical motors consume up to half of the available electrical power on a global basis. Initiatives aimed at boosting motor efficiency play a role in conserving energy worldwide.
Harper furnace installed for direct air capture
The furnace uses indirect, electric heating to remove carbon dioxide captured by calcium carbonate so it can be permanently stored.
Video: Used EV batteries are powering California communities
A second major electric vehicle (EV) battery storage project has been placed into commercial operation in California by second life energy storage firm B2U.
Renewable energy-based charging infrastructure for sustainable EVs
More charging stations are needed to meet growing demand for EVs, which in turn makes integration of renewable energy sources essential to achieving long-term sustainability goals.
Geospatial dataset maps large-scale photovoltaic projects in the US
The database enables analysis of the historical trends in project development and the accurate assessment of potential costs and benefits of future development.
OKW extends SMART-PANEL wall-mount enclosures range
The enclosures are ideal for applications including building services systems, electrical installations, smart homes, offices, security and wireless communications.
Efficiency in lithium recovery from spent batteries
This approach to a more sustainable means of recycling lithium-ion batteries uses aprotic organic solutions instead of water to recover lithium from anodes.
