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.

Shipping industry eyeing hydrogen fuel cells as possible pathway to emissions reduction; work by Germanischer Lloyd and DNV

Green Car Congress

Germanischer Lloyd’s concept hydrogen-fuel cell container feeder vessel is fueled by liquid hydrogen. The paper examines the Phase 1 results of the DNV-led project FellowSHIP (Fuel Cells for Low Emissions Ships, earlier post ), the first large-scale fuel cell installation operating on board a merchant ship.

BMW Group plants stepping up activities in balancing-power market to contribute to grid stability

Green Car Congress

Together with other highly-flexible controllable systems in the BMW Group production network, they will contribute to the stability of the public grid outside of the plant. Electricity generation from variable renewable electricity sources (VRE) such as wind and solar power has grown rapidly and is expected to continue to do so.

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. That would mean installing vast amounts of energy storage, such as. unprecedented and deadly winter freeze.

Morris Tanenbaum, Inventor of the Silicon Microchip, Dies at 94

Cars That Think

Today solar is the third largest renewable-electricity sector behind hydropower and wind. Together with physicist Armin Zastrow, he pioneered the concept of agrivoltaics —the use of land for both agriculture and solar energy generation. He began his civilian career in 1953 as a telephone installation expert at Bell.

Daimler & enercity storing new replacement EV batteries in working 15 MWh grid storage system; “living storage”

Green Car Congress

With a storage capacity totalling 15 MWh, the installation is one of the largest in Europe. By marketing the storage capacity on the German market for primary balancing power (PRL), the business model makes an important contribution to stabilization of the power grid and to the economic efficiency of electromobility.
