New system offers early warning for dust storms to protect the solar power A new predictive platform called Idust is ready to transform the prediction of the dust storm and to improve solar energy production in dust-sensitive regions. Idust has been developed by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and offers fast, fast fabric forecasts with a high resolution that can help reduce the current losses on solar farms, especially in dry zones. The tool was founded under the leadership of Dr. Chen XI from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics and detailed in the Journal of Advances in Modeling…

In a new weekly update for PV -MagazineOpis, a Dow Jones company, offers a quick look at the most important trends in the global PV industry. April 18, 2025 Opis FOB China prices for Mono Percs waffles remained stable this week, with M10 and G12 waffles that were stable at $ 0.147/PC (each) and $ 0.210/PC respectively. FOB China prices for N-type waffles, on the other hand, experienced a decrease. N-type M10 waffles fell to $ 0.157/PC, while G12 waffles fell to $ 0.199/PC, which reflected the decreases from week to week of 0.63% and 1.49% respectively. The recent increase…

Rentt Battero’s new 392 AH Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) cell is an all -rounder, with the same size but increased energy density over a previously manufactured cell. April 18, 2025 Tristan Rayner By ESS News Hong Kong-Gentered Reptbattero launched a new battery cell at the 13th Energy Storage International Conference and Expo (ESIE 2025) Last week in Beijing. Rucht Battero said his new 392AH battery cell, which is part of his brand of playing series cells, has an energy density of a maximum of 415 WH/l.

Researchers from ETH Zurich have patented a grid-forming inverter algorithm that stabilizes the frequency, while devices are protected against damage caused by independent frequency, voltage and power. April 18, 2025 Marian Willuhn By PV Magazine Germany A Swiss Research Institute Eth Zurich has set up a new algorithm for operating inverters in a scheduling mode. The patented algorithm works the inverter as a voltage source, which is crucial when short circuits and voltage drops complicated grid processing. Traditionally, power plants that use steam turbines to float and retain and retain a grid frequency of steam turbines to steam turbines to…

Today the city of Fresno Dept. or Public Utilities (DPU) in California A ceremony “Flip the Switch” performed to celebrate the completion of solar energy and battery storage projects at three locations: the Fresno-Clovis Regional waste water abnormality advertisement commercial facility and the southerneastern surface-watering facility facility. All three projects contain single-axis solar trackers. With a combined 27 MWDC In size (and 5.3 MWAC of storage), the DPU projects are expected to save more than $ 122 million in Ratepayer dollars by 2045. The 4.9 MW territory of solar energy and storage system in the Fresno Southeast Surface Water Treatment…

Pexapark registered a remarkable increase in Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) in March, where solar deals are good for almost 1.4 GW of total fame. April 18, 2025 Patrick Jowett European developers have signed 24 PPAS a total of 1,556 MW in March, according to the latest report from the Swiss research agency for renewable energy sources Pexapark. The result is an increase of 129% month by month February Volumes announced, but corresponds to the same amount of deals as the month earlier registered. Company PPAs were good for nearly two -thirds (62%) of the public -making volume in March, a…

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) says that the fifth edition of its ANSI/CAN/UL 9540A standard technology such as sodium batteries and new use cases, including installations on the roof, is tackling. April 18, 2025 Max Hall Image: Bombers Consorci VLC By ESS News US-based safety certification body UL has updated its test method to evaluate the risk of thermal runner in battery energy storage systems (BESS). Updates of the fifth edition of UL’s ANSI/CAN/UL 9540A standard include clearer criteria for determining cell-to-cell propagation of thermal runner, a chemical reaction that rises rapid temperature and pressure in battery cells, leading to the risk…

The GreenLink interconnector consists of two high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables that reach over the Irish Sea that connect the grilles of Ireland and the United Kingdom to the Great Island substation in County Wexford and Pembroke substation in Pembrokeshire, Wales. April 18, 2025 Blathnaid o’dea The Irish government announced that the GreenLink interconnector had started the activities after he recently started his commercial operational phase after a successful test period. The project has a nominal capacity of 500 MW and consists of two converter stations – one in Pembrokeshire, Wales and the other in County Wexford, Ireland – connected…

Solar Park Boom threats the age -old olive trees of Spain On his farm in the south of Spain, Francisco Campos looked at a green sea of ​​centuries old olive trees that he fears will face the ax to make way for a presented solar park. “Reducing olive trees to install solar panels is a crime,” the 64-year-old farmer told AFP in Lopera, a city with whitewashed buildings with 3,600 inhabitants in the sunny southern region of Andalusia, the olive-growing heart country of Spain. Spain is the world’s top producer of olive oil, but the fertile agricultural land that has…
