The NEXT Group (USA) introduced the world to OPV-coated glass (an acronym for Organic Photovoltaic Cells). The mission of this material is to convert the sun’s energy into electricity. This coating can be applied to various glass surfaces, allowing carbon-based semiconductors to collect energy in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums while transmitting visible light. Transparent […]
Flower Turbines are a new type of wind turbine developed by Daniel Farb that works in all weather conditions. They generate energy efficiently around the clock, even in urban areas or private homes. The tulip-shaped wind turbines created by Flower Turbines are an alternative to solar panels, providing even higher efficiency. The concept is designed […]
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the designer of the world’s tallest building, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, has teamed up with Energy Vault Holdings to explore the possibility of creating huge skyscrapers as tall as 1 km. They will also function as giant gravitational energy storage systems. The sentence contains two particularly noteworthy ideas. The first is reminiscent […]
The Ukrainian energy system will be restored not only by rebuilding the old thermal power generation facilities, but also by building several hundred new smaller plants. “We can’t afford to choose only one path right now. We need to restore the damaged as much as possible and start building a new generation distributed geographically. This […]
WindSpider has announced the introduction of a technology that could allow wind turbines to build themselves. The new WindSpider crane, which was developed jointly with Leirvik, is a major step towards autonomous wind turbine construction and changes approaches to the production and operation of wind power plants. Traditionally, wind turbines have required significant construction efforts, […]
The Finnish company Polar Night Energy has announced the creation of an industrial-scale “sand battery” that can be included in a district heating system. The developers said that the battery capacity should be enough to heat an entire city during cold polar winters. Green energy, which includes, for example, solar, wind, tidal, and geothermal, is […]
Sweden’s CorPower has announced “breakthrough” test results in the Atlantic Ocean of its full-scale floating generators, which cleverly calculate their movements to amplify small waves while protecting themselves from dangerous storm conditions. In mechanical terms, it is a fairly standard-looking system with an anchored absorber buoy – the waves lift the air-filled chassis up and […]
Holtec International proposes to combine the advantages of nuclear and solar energy to create the first hybrid power plant designed to use both energy sources. Holtec is designing a revolutionary power plant design that combines the advantages of nuclear power (high energy density, base load) with the advantages of solar power (zero fuel cost, lower […]
Edwards & Sanborn’s solar energy production and storage project in California is fully operational: the 875 MW DC solar photovoltaic system and 3287 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) are the largest in the world. The Edwards & Sanborn system covers an area of 1.8 square meters. km, located in Kern County. It consists of […]
The United Kingdom and Denmark have opened the world’s longest energy bridge, which will allow the exchange of renewable energy between the two countries, Electrek reports. The Viking Link power bridge is 765 km long and has a capacity of 1.4 GW. It connects Danish wind farms to the UK power grid, where demand for […]
