By [email protected] New York City is close to seeing tidal power injected onto its local grid. Verdant Power, a 20-year-old tidal energy startup, is currently installing a half-scale generator in the East River tidal strait. Installation may be finished a few days from now, said Trey Taylor, the company’s co-founder and chief commercial officer. The…

By [email protected] Just as federal regulators in the U.S. are making batteries, solar systems, electric cars, generators and other similar resources more valuable in wholesale markets, we’re seeing a new wave of business activity. Wood Mackenzie predicts that U.S. distributed energy resource capacity will reach nearly 390 gigawatts by 2025. And a lot of companies…
Ocean waves represent an abundant source of renewable energy. But to best use this natural resource, wave-energy converters need to be capable of physically handling ocean waves of different strengths without capsizing. Read Full Article Here For more great articles: Wind Energy News
By Michael Mazengarb New research suggests New Zealand’s Cook Strait could be used as a source of tidal power, if the cost of the technology can be reduced.

By [email protected] California’s two days of rolling blackouts in August were the result of disconnects between its existing grid reliability constructs and the needs of an increasingly solar-powered grid, and its failure to prepare for a regional heat wave across the Western U.S. that undermined its reliance on out-of-state resources. Those are the key findings…
A study of a solar-energy material with a bright future revealed a way to slow phonons, the waves that transport heat. The discovery could improve novel hot-carrier solar cells, which convert sunlight to electricity more efficiently than conventional solar cells by harnessing photogenerated charge carriers before they lose energy to heat.

By [email protected] A clutch of wave power developers is hoping to shake off the technology’s forever-round-the-corner reputation with commercial-scale arrays that could be in the water next year. AW-Energy, a Finnish developer, is looking to deliver a commercial product called the WaveRoller in 2021. And CorPower Ocean, based in Sweden, is looking to test a…
By [email protected] Global energy storage capacity is now expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31 percent through 2030, according to Wood Mackenzie’s new global storage outlook. The market will hit 741 gigawatt-hours of cumulative capacity by 2030. Front-of-the-meter storage will continue to dominate annual deployments and will account for up…
By SPW By Constantinos Peonides, Director, Alectris The recent heat storm in California, when everything that could go wrong did, caused prolonged and consecutive mandatory interruptions in electricity supply in the state. The heat wave caused the heavy use of air-conditioning, combined with the unavailability of some power plants to meet the demand (and a…

By [email protected] There are still questions about what exactly caused California’s blackouts during last month’s heat wave. We know that imports were down, natural gas plants tripped off line, and wind generation fell. But what about all those air conditioners, batteries and industrial loads that are supposed to support the grid? What role did they…
