A lifelong power source in miniature shape The batteries that feed smartphones, electric vehicles and drones often require frequent charging and relegation over time, leading to limited lifespan and environmental problems. Now a team of Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) is investigating a nuclear alternative that can offer for decades or even centuries of reliable power without recharging. SU-IL in, a professor of Dgist, presented this breakthrough during the Spring 2025 meeting of the American Chemical Society, held from March 23-27. His team is groundbreaking nuclear batteries that use a radio cabbage fabric base, a form of…
Mibet has released new floats for PV systems used in deep water. The G4M system, already installed in Indonesia on a water body with a depth of 60 meters, makes it possible for the solar panels to be tilted at 5 degrees to 15 degrees. March 31, 2025 Lior Kahana MRAC Floating PV -Montage system G4M Image: Mibet Chinese PV mounting system supplier Mibet has unveiled a new mounting system for floating solar projects in deep water environments. The MRAC floating PV mounting system G4M is constructed from polyethylene with high density (HDPE) and zinc-aluminum-Magnesium (ZN-AL-MG) coated steel. The company…
With the volatility of the electricity market that increases in many European countries, the possibility of storing battery energy is growing rapidly. Market analyst Rystad Energy expects the installations of batteries to accelerate as project developers with falling prices for recording solar energy and the increasing frequency of negative price events. March 31, 2025 Jonathan Gifford Vegard Wiik Vollset from Rystad speaks with the media at the Solarpower Europe Image: Climate Copy, Nichole Schaeffer By ESS News The Solarpower Summit In Brussels last week, European industry for solar and energy storage brought together with policy makers and the increasing frequency…

Researchers in Sweden have developed a method to improve Lidar data to make more precise Tilt and Azimut modeling of solar PV and solar -thermal capacity at regional or substation level possible. The model can enable aggregators and grid operators to improve the planning of the net. March 31, 2025 Valerie Thompson Swedish researchers from Uppsala University and Becquerel Sweden have developed a method to improve air image data generated by light detection and ranging (Lidar) systems to improve estimates of the installed capacity of Solar Energy System (SES). The Azimuth modeling is reportedly accurately accurately within 3 degrees for…
A month after India had introduced a mandate for renewable power plants for renewable power plants and China tore its own, Mexico anticipated an ambitious capacity requirement of 30%, in addition to plans to add another 574 MW of batteries by 2028. March 31, 2025 Mariha Maisch By ESS News Future wind and solar energy projects in Mexico will be obliged to colocate battery energy storage systems equal to 30% of their capacity, a high government official told the Senate on Tuesday. “We have already changed the grid code and have determined that for every intermittent renewable generation, 30% will…
