Video: Battery-equipped ships to transfer energy from offshore wind farms
Marine battery storage vessels will be charged at sea from offshore wind farms for transport back to land.
This manufacturer earned UL approval for halogen-free TPE cables
The halogen-free TPE jacket compounds minimize premature aging of the outer jacket by a factor of up to 10.
Video: Buoy solution to charge idle vessels
The world’s first full-scale offshore charging station for vessels at an offshore wind farm will be tested later in 2022.
Testing long duration energy storage in the UK
Innovative technologies with potential for the longer duration energy storage required to support balancing of the intermittency of renewable energy sources will be demonstrated.
Highest energy density batteries unveiled
The graphite lattice commonly used in anodes is replaced with silicon nanowires, which can store 10 times more lithium than graphite.
Cable assemblies ensure safe outdoor use
The assemblies are part of a broad portfolio of sealed IP67-rated products that provide additional protection against external weather-related elements.
IEA Report: COVID-19, coal and CO2 emissions
Coal accounted for over 40% of the overall growth in global CO2 emissions in 2021.
Largest US wind project now online
Completed after 15 months of construction, the facility features more than 1,050 MW of clean power capacity.
Acopian donation shifts Lafayette Motorsports into higher gear
The grant supports a club format to give more students the opportunity to work on an interdisciplinary team and learn about sustainable engineering and transportation.
Solar canal project expected to shine in California
Project Nexus will see the installation of 2,591 m of solar panels over three sections of the Turlock Irrigation District's canals in California's Central Valley.
Video: Slow-moving water and wind tapped by the Big Cajun
The wind-marine hybrid system simultaneously extracts low-cost power from slow moving water and wind.
Video: The implications of ice for offshore wind turbines
Data from indoor ice basin tests inform simulation models to quantify the ice loads on these structures.
Video: Solar technology to deliver for DHL
Roof-mounted solar mats will curb emissions, operating costs and fuel use in 67 delivery trucks.
Breakthrough in biodegradable organic battery design
Development of an organic polymer battery moves the prospects for engineering sustainable and biodegradable batteries for consumer use closer to reality.
Clean electricity share gains in California
Almost 60% of California’s electricity was derived from renewable and zero-carbon sources in 2020.
Kaeser joins Dominion Energy's Green Power Program
In an ongoing commitment to minimizing the impact of operations on the environment, Kaeser joined the program to match consumption with renewable energy resources.
Devastating Texas freeze of 2021 brings business survival solutions
In temperate and warmer areas, business owners commonly turn the heat down or off completely when no employees are in the building. During cold snaps, however, pipes and other mechanical equipment need the heat to prevent freezing.
US grid modernization is underway
The Building a Better Grid initiative is intended to speed the modernization of the national energy transmission infrastructure.
Framework supports sustainable Amazon hydro dam siting
The artificial intelligence framework identifies hydroelectric dam portfolios in the Amazon River basin that meet energy production goals with the least environmental harm.
Will US household air conditioning use exceed electric capacity in the next decade?
Without expanded capacity or improved efficiency, the result will be prolonged blackouts during the peak summer heat. A temperature increase of 1.5° C (2.7° F) — 2° C above preindustrial levels — could push demand up 8% to 13%.
