Consider climate change in solar energy project plans
Climate change is exerting a significant impact on solar energy generation in the U.S., according to a recent study conducted by climate and energy analytics company Sunairio.
SABIC debuts LNP THERMOCOMP compound to help facilitate adoption of LDS antennas and advance device production
The compound offers better chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability, and lower warpage to benefit laser direct structuring (LDS) of antennas.
A record rate for harnessing geothermal heat
Fracking technology employed by the oil and gas industry was used to successfully drill the first horizontal well pair for commercial geothermal production.
New Rosenberg 560 mm Gen 3+ EC plug fan sets the standards for low noise, high efficiency and airflow
The backward-curved fan module delivers more efficiency, less noise and higher airflow for data center cooling and air handling units, as well as wind power, compressor and transformer cooling applications.
Assessing drivetrain designs for larger offshore wind turbines
Conceptual designs for three drivetrain technologies were developed and evaluated for use with large offshore wind turbines.
Flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage
The development of flow batteries for large-scale, long-duration energy storage has been hindered by the complexity of the system design. In response to this challenge, scientists from MIT have developed a modeling framework that can be used to speed up the development process.
Sourcing steam from a hybrid solar-sand storage system
Use of both a photovoltaic system coupled to sand-based thermal storage and solar thermal energy separately can economically provide steam to industrial facilities.
This hybrid battery can multitask
A rechargeable biomass battery integrates electricity storage/generation and electrosynthesis of useful chemicals from furfural in one system.
Video: A nuclear route to sustainable shipping
Small lead-cooled reactor technology is being advanced to help the marine shipping sector achieve net zero emissions goals.
An urban blueprint for building EV charging capacity
A free technical resource is available to help larger communities secure federal funding and plan for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
Lunar rover to be fuel cell-driven
As part of a lunar polar exploration mission project led by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Toyota is developing a regenerative fuel cell for the Lunar Cruiser manned pressurized rover.
Bidding structures to accommodate renewables in electricity markets
The bidding mechanism is a crucial feature of any energy market design, as it determines the method by which buyers and sellers communicate their techno-economic preferences and needs to the market clearing mechanism.
Tribid train on track in Italy
The first European train fleet featuring tribid technology — denoting the capability to operate on battery, electric and diesel power — is now riding the rails in Italy.
A sweet way to stretch flow battery longevity
A sweetened catalyst based on a glucose derivative balances the flow of negative electrons during the battery discharge cycle.
Clean energy employment booms in the US
The U.S. energy workforce is cleaning up in the renewable energy sector, which expanded by almost 114,000 jobs from 2021 to 2022.
Dry run testing of hydropower systems in the lab
Power engineers can now gauge and improve the reliability and resiliency of complex hydropower systems without getting their feet wet.
Parameter develops new freezer/cooler dual room
The system controls two stability rooms — one set at -20° C and the other at 5° C — with one single energy-efficient conditioner.
World’s longest power link is complete
The connection will improve energy supply security in Denmark and the U.K. by enabling imports from neighboring interconnected markets.
