Synhelion starts construction of DAWN demo plant to produce solar fuels

Green Car Congress

The production process—using only solar heat—was first demonstrated in 2019 in a mini-refinery on the roof of ETH Zurich. Specifically, a 250-kW receiver from Synhelion was coupled with a 6-meter-high, 12-ton reforming reactor from Wood at the plant; the reactor is powered by solar process heat.

How to Prevent Blackouts by Packetizing the Power Grid

Cars That Think

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.
