Researchers behind a techno-economic analysis of energy communities in Italy and Portugal say that collective self-consumption is a more lucrative solution than individual installations.
The co-founder of a Lithuanian company which has developed a new exercise bike that can generate and store electricity makes the case for the contribution “energy harvesting from daily human activity” can make to the energy transition.
The new heat pumps use propane (R290) as the refrigerant and have a seasonal coefficient of performance of 4.7. The maximum temperature outlet is 70 C and the maximum cooling power spans from 8 kW to 13 kW.
A research group designed a solar-assisted CO2 heat pump system that can reportedly achieve a lower levelized cost of energy than gas boilers in residential building in the United Kingdom. The system has the potential to achieve a coefficient of 5.1.
Fire investigators in the Australian state of New South Wales have determined that a compromised lithium-ion battery was the cause of a recent house fire north of Sydney that killed two people.
The new product has a capacity of 5.4 kWh and is scalable up to 60 kWh. It features a depth of discharge of 100% and a rated charge-discharge voltage of 450 V.
Electricity market liberalization and private sector development of solar and energy storage in Cyprus continue to be delayed. pv magazine’s Ilias Tsagas looks at why independent power producers are frustrated by electricity curtailment and a lack of market reform.
Researchers in Portugal have addressed the so-called ‘parking dilemma’ of electric cars incorporating photovoltaic modules. They looked into the tradeoff between charging the car and raising its inside temperature. They calculated the critical time as a function of the car’s solar capacity.
Redback Technologies, an Australian inverter and battery company, is trying to secure new investment after entering voluntary administration this week.
Conceived for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, the Hydrolution PRO heat pump has a coefficient of performance of up to 3.47 and a seasonal coefficent of performance of up to 4.59. It uses difluoromethane (R32) as the refrigerant.
