About 10% of Dunton’s total annual electricity demand, which according to the car manufacturer is 55,000 MWh, will be paid by the Solar PV Array. Image: Ford. The British headquarters of Ford Motor Company has commissioned a 5.2 MWP Solar PV-Array that it says it could feed a Ford e-transit for 14 million miles. The solar installation, formed from 9,130 panels and 58,000 meters of cabling, is on Ford’s largest car research and development (R&D) campus in the UK, the Dunton campus. About 10% of Dunton’s total annual electricity demand, which according to the car manufacturer is 55,000 MWh, will…
TU Delft researchers have investigated for the first time that the effect of rear radiation has on the optimum band gap energy and thickness of the perovskiet cell in a bifacial two-termal perovskiet-silicon dental module. Their findings show that bifacial tandems have more than a profit of 25% in the energy yield compared to bifacial some input modules and up to 5% profit compared to monofacial dental modules. January 31, 2025 Emiliano Bellini A research group led by Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) In the Netherlands, investigated how perovskiet materials can be optimized to achieve improved performance in Bifacial…
Last year the number of newly installed residential storage systems for batteries in Germany fell somewhat. On the other hand, the capacity of large -scale storage systems with a capacity of more than 1 MW within a year. January 31, 2025 Sandra Enkhardt A sodium ion accumular pair Image: Ra Boe, Wikimedia Commons By ESS News The number and cumulative capacity of storage systems installed in Germany has grown by 50% last year. Almost 600,000 new battery storage systems have been put into use in various market segments. At the start of the year, more than 1.8 million storage systems…
The Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute (ZAZ) has introduced a fire test test that simulates a fire that starts on the roof membrane under a PV system. The researchers noted the importance of realistic construction methods, including factors such as anchors, adhesives, membrane welding and ballast use. January 31, 2025 Lior Kahana ZAG researchers have designed and published a new fire -waiting procedure (TP) for flat roofs with PV modules. Although most European and national tests focus on material and product tests, this TP is new because it contains all elements of the roof. “We hope that this…
Another project of National Grid Renewables – in South Dakota. National Grid Renewables, based in Minnesota, announced the start of the activities at the Fillmore County Solar and Louise Solar Projects, located in the south of Minnesota within the MidContinent Independent System Operator (Miso) market. Together, the Fillmore and Louise projects deliver a combined 95 MW of clean, own solar energy. “Our roots started and remain planted in Minnesota, so it is useful to see that these two projects come to life in our own backyard,” said Blake Nixon, President and CEO of National Grid Renewables. “We have been working…
Researchers from Valencia Polytechnic University in Spain have developed a new method for predicting the power generation of PV systems. The novelty lies in developing a hyper parameter optimization model for feedforward-artificial neural networks (FF-Ann’s) with the help of genetic algorithms (gas) techniques. Hyper parameters are external configurations set before the learning process begins that control the learning process. “Although integrating machine learning and intelligent algorithms offers considerable potential, there are still challenges in optimizing modeling techniques for complex non -linear systems,” the group said. “The study therefore focuses on tackling the challenges in accurately predicting solar -PV current generation,…
A new Australian National University Study says that long-term Pomphydro on non-drivers sites combined with batteries can meet global needs in the field of energy storage. January 31, 2025 EV Foley Image: Australian National University By PV Magazine Australia A new article that is co-author of the Australian National University Prof. dr. Andrew Blakers is investigating how long Pumped Hydro Energy Stations (PHEs) can offer 95% of the global energy storage for the electricity industry, with the storage capacity of 2 trillion electric vehicle batteries. These systems can be game changers for the world’s energy storage needs in combination with…
Bloombergnef says in a new report that the global investment of clean energy $ 2.1 trillion reached in 2024, more than doubling 2020 levels. The United States led the issue of energy transition debt and threatened to invests by 5% on an annual basis to $ 206 billion. January 31, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA A new report on investments in energy transition from Bloombergnef shows that global investments in clean energy technologies have reached a record of $ 2.1 trillion in 2024. This represents 11% growth compared to 2023 totals and is more than double the total…
Provisional figures from the British government record 1.2 GW of capacity additions during the calendar year, which means that the total capacity is brought to 17.6 GW into official figures. Acceleration in the deployment had to hit the target of 2030 Clean Generation in the British government. January 30, 2025 Matthew Lynas The pace of the use of solar energy in the UK must increase in order to achieve ambitious capacity goals set by the government. Image: Simon Frederick, Unsplash New installed additions to solar capacity amounted to 1.2 GW in 2024, according to the latest figures from the British…
Scientists in China have devised a average consensus algorithm based on a life cycle that supposedly can balance the power in the Array systems for flywheel storage and extend their total lifespan. January 30, 2025 Emiliano Bellini Main components of a typical aircraft system Image: Pjrensburg, Wikimedia Commons By ESS News Researchers from the Inner Mongolia University of Technology in China have developed a new Lifecycle parameter that is said to help increase the coordinated control and service lifes in Flywheel Energy Storage Array Systems (Fesass). Compared to other mechanical energy storage technologies such as pumped hydro and compressed air,…
