Renewable Energy Comes at You Fast Dresden 1, the first commercial nuclear-power plant in the U.S., was switched on in 1960. It took three years and, in today’s money, about $250 million to build. You may have noticed that nuclear-power projects require a little more time and money these days: Last week, the Trump administration … Continue reading Renewable Energy Comes at You Fast
US states reluctant to include energy storage in Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) California Governor Jerry Brown has spurred many of the initiatives that has fired California into a leading position among US states for energy storage deployment. Image: Flickr User: Neon Tommy. While it may seem like an obvious choice for US states to include … Continue reading US states reluctant to include energy storage in Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)
Doubling of global renewable capacity by 2030 could drive 66% storage cost reduction, IRENA says The International Renewable Energy Agency calculates that storage capacity could triple by 2030 if current renewable energy capacity doubles, with battery prices potentially driven down by 66% from current levels. Battery storage technology used in stationary applications could be as … Continue reading Doubling of global renewable capacity by 2030 could drive 66% storage cost reduction, IRENA says
California ISO sees grid changes, renewables reaching two-thirds of mix: paper By 2030, renewables will supply about two-thirds of California’s electricity, natural gas-fired generation will be in the process of being phased out and the West will have regional grid operators, according to a draft paper released Wednesday by the California Independent System Operator. The … Continue reading California ISO sees grid changes, renewables reaching two-thirds of mix
Could Firebrick Be The Answer To Renewable Energy Storage? Developed as early as 1600 BC in what is modern-day Turkey, firebricks – which are essentially bricks made of clay capable of withstanding high temperatures – are being eyed by scientists for thermal heat storage. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) led by principal research scientist Charles … Continue reading Could #Firebrick Be The Answer To Renewable Energy Storage?
Submerged Turbines Could Replace 10 Nuclear Reactors In Japan Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) researchers have developed turbines to convert the power of ocean waves into clean, renewable energy. Professor Shintake and the Quantum Wave Microscopy Unit at OIST began by starting a project titled “Sea Horse,” aiming to harness energy from the … Continue reading Submerged Turbines Could Replace 10 Nuclear Reactors In Japan
A $10 Billion Renewable Energy Startup Just Unveiled Their Largest Onshore Wind Turbine $10 billion dollar startup GE Renewable Energy has just unveiled a massive new onshore wind turbine designed for low and medium wind sites. It’s the company’s largest onshore turbine to date and can power up to 5,000 homes. BIGGER AND BETTER $10 … Continue reading A $10 Billion Renewable Energy Startup Just Unveiled Their Largest Onshore Wind Turbine
The Race Is On: Renewable vs. Nuclear Energy in the US According to the most recent issue of the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Electric Power Monthly, data through June 30, 2017 shows that the share of electrical generation coming from renewables, which include biomass, geothermal, hydropower, solar, and wind, is statistically tied with nuclear. … Continue reading The Race Is On: Renewable vs. Nuclear Energy in the US
As coal plants close, more calls for 100% renewable goals DURANGO, Colo. – The Sierra Club has been pushing Durango to commit to 100 percent locally produced and renewable electricity by 2050. The argument of petitioners, reports the Durango Herald, is that in addition to cutting carbon emissions, the local, renewable energy would create local … Continue reading As coal plants close, more calls for 100% renewable goals
Midcontinent ISO to study renewable energy integration Midcontinent ISO had minimal renewable resources just a decade ago, but next year is expected to top 20 GW. While it’s still heavy on coal-fired power, the grid operator is predicting continued growth in carbon-free energy and is beginning to study how the current grid might restrict that. … Continue reading Midcontinent ISO to study renewable energy integration
