Researchers from the Australian National University (ANU), Canberra, have shown that their response to a power grid emergency in February 2024 provides evidence that electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems can disrupt the power grid strengthen during power outages. a worldwide first for such research. July 11, 2024 Ev FoleyBy pv magazine AustraliaA five-year ANU Canberra study, led by ANU Battery Storage and Grid Integration Program Senior Research Fellow Dr. Bjorn Sturmberg, has shown that electric vehicles can provide backup to the electricity grid in an emergency.Sixteen electric vehicles in the study supplied power back to the electricity…
Indonesia’s new renewable energy law will include legislation allowing ‘power wheeling’, which would allow private companies to sell electricity directly to end users through networks owned by the state-owned electricity company. July 11, 2024 Patrick JowettIndonesia’s government said it will introduce legislation to allow for power changes in its new energy and renewable energy law.Power wheeling will allow private companies to sell electricity directly to end users through the transmission and distribution networks owned by Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company, PLN.The Jakarta-based Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), which had called for power wheeling to be included in the bill, says…
Black Bear Energy announced its first successful transfer of solar tax credits from a real estate investment trust (REIT) with help from clean energy finance company Evergrow. This deal, executed on the Evergrow platform, includes multiple solar projects installed on multifamily properties in California and Washington, DC, with a total capacity of 556 kW and ranging in size from 66 kW to 195 kW. This transaction will open doors for broader participation of REITs in renewable energy projects and unlock the monetization of the investment tax credit, accelerating the deployment of on-site renewable energy sources in the commercial real estate…
Toledo Solar says it has halted all R&D efforts and will immediately cease operations due to the inability to license the necessary technology for its cadmium telluride panels. July 10, 2024 Ryan Kennedy Thin film solar panelsImage: Toledo SolarBy pv magazine USAOhio-based Toledo Solar, a manufacturer of thin-film solar panels containing cadmium telluride, said it will end all research and development efforts and cease operations immediately.“Unfortunately, we were unable to license certain technology needed to produce the cadmium telluride panels we were developing for the residential, commercial and industrial markets we targeted,” said Tom Pratt, interim president, treasurer and secretary…
The Rise of Solar Panels and Community Solar In recent years, the global focus on renewable energy sources has intensified, with solar power emerging as a cornerstone of sustainable development. Harnessing the energy of the sun not only offers a clean alternative to fossil fuels but also promises long-term environmental and economic benefits. Along with the adoption of individual solar panels, community solar projects have gained prominence as an inclusive approach to solar energy. These initiatives allow multiple participants, including renters and homeowners unable to install panels themselves, to benefit from solar power generation. By pooling resources and sharing the…
EDP Renewable Energy Sources North America (EDPR NA), a renewable energy developer and operator based in the United States, has inaugurated its Pearl River Solar Park in Scott County, Mississippi. Credit: EDP Renewables North America Located in the northwest corner of the county, Pearl River has an installed capacity of 210 MW and produces enough power to meet the energy needs of more than 27,000 average homes in Mississippi. The project consists of 400,000 monofacial and bifacial tracking photovoltaic panels that provide clean, cost-competitive energy to the state’s electric grid. It also marks EDPR NA’s official entry into Mississippi. “Pearl…
Bulgaria has installed between 40 MWh and 50 MWh of battery energy storage capacity to date. However, new national legislation and funds from the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility could see the country install a further 1 GWh over the next two years. July 11, 2024 Ilias TsagasBy ESS newsSepehr Soltani, principal energy storage analyst at Norwegian consultancy Rystad Energy, told the RE-Source Southeast conference held in Sofia, Bulgaria in May that Bulgaria offers the highest battery storage revenue potential in Europe.Specifically, according to data presented by Soltani at the RE-Source Southeast Conference, the Bulgarian electricity market offers opportunities…
A new report from Clean Energy Associates (CEA) and the American Council on Renewable Energy shows how anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) tariffs are creating cost problems not only for imported solar panels, but also for U.S.-made solar panels. July 10, 2024 Ryan KennedyBy pv magazine USAThe United States has ended its two-year pause on solar AD/CVD rates. The tariffs apply to solar components shipped from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia that contain tariff-evading goods from China.The four Southeast Asian countries are responsible for nearly 80% of the U.S. supply of solar energy components. AD/CVD rates have historically ranged from…
Researchers at the University of Chicago in San Diego have created a new sodium battery architecture with stable cycling over hundreds of cycles, which could serve as a future direction to enable low-cost, high energy density, and fast-charging batteries. July 10, 2024 Marija Maisch Image: Energy Storage and Conversion Laboratory, UC San DiegoFrom pv magazine ESS news placeIn what is being described as the world’s first, researchers at the University of California, San Diego have managed to devise design principles to enable an anode-free all-solid-state battery.”While there have been previous sodium-, solid-state, and anode-free batteries, no one has yet been…
