Wind-powered offshore enhanced oil recovery concept moves closer to implementation

Green Car Congress

The DNV GL-led joint industry project, WIN WIN (WINd powered Water INjection), has completed its first phase and determined that wind power could be used to power offshore water injection. WIN WIN uses a floating wind turbine as a platform for an autonomous water injection system.

Energy Vault to provide 1.6 GWh of gravity energy storage to support DG Fuels SAF projects

Green Car Congress

Energy Vault, a company developing grid-scale gravity energy storage solutions, has entered into an energy storage system agreement with DG Fuels, a developer of renewable hydrogen and biogenic-based, synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and diesel fuel. Under the terms of the agreement, Energy Vault agreed to provide 1.6

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

The technology could fundamentally transform the way electricity is stored on the grid, making power from renewable energy sources such as wind and sun far more economical and reliable. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output.

H&R GmbH & Co. KGaA inaugurates world’s largest dynamic hydrogen electrolysis plant

Green Car Congress

Dynamic” means that the hydrogen electrolysis plant can take advantage of last-minute surges in electricity production, i.e. from wind turbines, to produce hydrogen. But actually, producing hydrogen from water and electricity is only the first step in our long-term plan. As a result, solar facilities and wind turbines are shut down.

What is Renewable energy integration, challenges, why it is needed

Baua Electric

This involves the seamless blending of renewable energy, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power, into the overall energy infrastructure to meet the growing demand for clean and sustainable energy. Intermittency Management: Intermittency refers to the variability of renewable energy sources.

Axion Power’s PbC PowerCube battery energy storage system integrated into PJM utility grid

Green Car Congress

During charge and discharge, the positive electrode undergoes the same chemical reaction that occurs in a conventional lead acid battery, i.e. lead dioxide reacts with acid and sulphate ions to form lead sulphate and water. This format will be used for wind and solar storage as well as for our oil rig back up power application.

IRENA report finds renewable power costs at parity or below fossil fuels in many parts of world

Green Car Congress

The report, “ Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2014 ”, concludes that biomass, hydropower, geothermal and onshore wind are all competitive with or cheaper than coal, oil and gas-fired power stations, even without financial support and despite falling oil prices. Report highlights include: Cape Wind’s troubles.
