The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory today released a major study of the technical, operational, and economic issues facing the integration of large amounts of wind energy into the power system. The Eastern Wind Integration and Transmission Study (EWITS), the largest study of its kind conducted in the United States to date, [...] Vestas has entered into an agreement with TransAlta to supply and service 18 additional units of the V90-3.0 MW wind turbine at the Kent Hills site near Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Delivery and construction is expected in early 2010 and commissioning scheduled for completion in late 2010. The order includes a five-year service and maintenance [...] Hydrogenics Corporation, a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and fuel cell products, today announced the award of a contract for the development of a next generation power system to be used for surface mobility applications on the moon. The scope of the contract includes an electrolyzer that produces both hydrogen and oxygen using [...] FuelCon The conductivity of the membrane material is a critical factor for the efficiency of the fuel cell. Therefore, the measurement of the proton conductivity provides highly valuable information for the further development of this technology. With the “TrueXessory-PCM Proton Conductivity Measurement“ market launch FuelCon provides a testing system for the development of more efficient fuel [...] Using zinc oxide nanostructures grown on optical fibers and coated with dye-sensitized solar cell materials, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new type of three-dimensional photovoltaic system. The approach could allow PV systems to be hidden from view and located away from traditional locations such as rooftops. “Using this technology, we can [...] There is a very innovative company that I have been following that is utilizing a physical characteristic known as the Piezo electric effect. Simply put the piezo effect refers to the ability of certian materials to produce an electic current when an external force is applied to it . Innowattech is utilizing this effect to engineer energy generation or more aptly [...] This working paper is available from Carnegie Melon Electricity Industry Center. Link provided at bottom post. Abstract:Geologic sequestration (GS) of carbon dioxide (CO2) is contingent upon securing the legal right to use deep subsurface pore space. Under the assumption that compensation is required to use pore space for GS, we examine the cost of acquiring rights [...] DALLAS, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ — Turbine Attic Ventilators, those metal roof vents that spin in the wind, have a problem. They suck warmth from the home in winter, wasting a lot of energy every year. The furnace must run longer to replace the lost heat. Some homeowners cover their turbine ventilators in winter with a [...] Scientists at the University of Calgary have found a way to reduce bat deaths from wind turbines by up to 60 percent without significantly reducing the energy generated from the wind farm. The research, recently published in the Journal of Wildlife Management, demonstrates that slowing turbine blades to near motionless in low-wind periods significantly reduces [...] Fermilab Funds are part of more than $327 million in new Recovery Act funding to be disbursed by Department of Energy’s Office of Science Batavia, Ill. – In the latest installment of funding from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, DOE’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will receive [...] |
