HEADLINES ARCHIVE
A solar assist for heat pumps
The area needed for solar thermal systems installations is reduced by linking them with heat pumps.
Improving the precision of wave resource assessment
A new methodology is designed to provide a consistent means for accounting for wave energy at regional as well as project scales.
Detecting fuel cell surface defects in real-time
This approach for real-time detection of micro defects on the fuel cell surface during the production phase is based on deep learning.
New BESS projects power up in Europe
Two new battery energy storage system (BESS) projects greatly increase grid stability and renewable energy utilization in Europe.
Long-duration renewable energy storage is cost-competitive
This system can be paired with wind and solar to create 24x7 power, replace gas peaker plants that deliver during peak demand periods, and serve remote locations without access to a utility grid.
Why flexible power plants matter
These electricity generation facilities can quickly adjust their output to accommodate fluctuations in demand or renewable energy sources.
Electrostatically dissipative variant added to e-skin flat energy chains
An electrostatically dissipative variant joins the almost particle-free e-skin flat cable carrier series from igus.
Coating magnifies steam-cycle power plant efficiency
A 2% efficiency gain can be achieved by applying the coating to steam condensers used in steam-cycle power plants.
Allrounder 470 E Golden Electric: Flexible turnkey system produces dolphins from recyclate
At Fakuma 2023, a production cell built around an Allrounder 470 E Golden Electric will produce small plastic dolphins from post-consumer recyclate.
Streamline splicing with the Fujikura 45S Fusion Splicer
The splicer enables dual fiber preparation and offers a range of new features that meet the growing demands of the fiber optic industry.
Tri-gen system to power port operations
Operations of Toyota Motor North America at the Port of Long Beach, California, will be powered by electricity, hydrogen and water produced from directed biogas.
First power produced at the largest offshore wind project
Dogger Bank has started generating power and is supplying electricity to the U.K. national grid.
This PLatypus streamlines solar panel audits
A new device cuts time and costs for inspections of solar installations after potentially damaging weather.
An efficient photovoltaics-driven desalination design
By eliminating the need for energy storage units and DC to DC converters, this solar-driven approach to desalination offers a lower-cost route to stable water production.
Geothermal energy keeps this transport hub cool
Engineers are warming up to the use of geothermal energy for space cooling, as recently demonstrated in Spain.
Allrounder More 2000: Two-component process combines LSR and thermoplastic
At Fakuma 2023, an Allrounder More 2000 with two electric injection units will demonstrate how functional integration can save time and money in multi-component injection molding.
The advantages of integrating ASIL-rated components in automotive hardware design
It is crucial that each component used within the safety-critical system is ASIL-rated and incorporates ASIL-rated components.
Fiber optic cables go gel-free
A new gel-free, dry buffer tube technology now joins the all-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cable line developed by AFL.
Allrounder 375 V: Transparency thanks to digital "fingerprint"
An application example of a tire lever will show how digitalization and automation go hand in hand to produce plastic parts efficiently and with 100% traceability.
Lithium-ion battery recycling comes to southwest Kentucky
The plants will disassemble and shred approximately 24,000 metric tons of used electric vehicle (EV) batteries and gigafactory scrap per year — or approximately 56,000 EV batteries per year.
