Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

China’s battery storage capacity growth likely to slow in 2024 – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Grid-connected battery farms back up renewables when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing and are considered important to help integrate clean energy into power grids. This is particularly important for China, which has minimal natural gas capacity, a more flexible power source than slow-ramping coal plants.

These investments are one reason why the International Energy Agency (IEA) in September insisted that there’s still hope to hold global temperature rise to 1.5 °C Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility.

Arizona State University Professor’s Work to Stabilize the Grid Pays Off

Cars That Think

Whenever new technologies are introduced into the power grid, there’s always a chance they could disrupt the system, possibly even leading to blackouts. Finding ways to deal with the impact on the grid caused by incorporating renewable energy has been the focus of Vijay Vittal ’s research for nearly 20 years.

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

This sponsored article is brought to you by COMSOL. Moving Wind Power Offshore The offshore wind (OFW) industry is one of the most rapidly advancing sources of power around the world. It makes sense: Wind is stronger and more consistent over the open ocean than it is on land. Coil signals too weak to relay.

Researchers Aim to Decarbonize Chemical Industry by Electrifying It

Cars That Think

This sponsored article is brought to you by NYU Tandon School of Engineering. These and other international regulations on greenhouse emissions could threaten up to 12 percent of all U.S. exports (US $220 billion). The task is clearly enormous, not just for the chemical manufacturing industry itself but for the larger economy.
