Singapore investor injects $3 million into 500 MW Queensland PV project
Plans to build a large-scale solar farm at Harlin in Queensland’s Somerset Council region continue to gather momentum after Singaporean infrastructure investor Keppel Corporation agreed to pour more than $3 million into the project.
Another Vanadium redox flow battery to be installed in Australia
A vanadium redox flow battery will be installed at a Western Australian caravan park in the new year. Supplied by VSun Energy, the installation advances its parent company’s vanadium endeavours.
US energy storage strategy includes tech cost estimates
The new U.S. storage strategy includes plans to shift new tech from the lab to the marketplace. It also focuses on ways to manufacture at scale and ensure supply chain stability.
Power-to-X may cover 28% of global energy demand by 2050
The so-called powerfuels are primarily required for sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as aviation and shipping, as well as for the processing of raw materials. This is shown by a new study by Finland’s LUT University and the German Energy Agency.
Scotland stimulates hydrogen economy with £100m investment
Scotland aims to install 25 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2050.
Canada joins hydrogen race with dedicated strategy
The new hydrogen plans of the Canadian government will be supported by a US$1.7 billion fund for low-carbon and zero-emission fuels.
Vanadium redox flow battery integrating CIGS modules
Spanish and Finnish scientists have developed a solar vanadium redox flow battery paired with commercially available CIGS solar panels. The open-circuit voltage values were high enough to achieve unbiased photocharge, they said.
New York to host 100 MW/400 MWh battery
Under a seven-year contract with Con Edison, the utility will bid power from the battery system into New York State’s wholesale energy market.
Spanish energy providers want to couple 400 MW of PV with 60 MW electrolyzer
Enagas and Naturgy are planning to build Spain’s largest green hydrogen plant. The facility will be located at a thermal power plant that Naturgy shuttered last year.
Optimal sizing for solar water pumps
Researchers in Malaysia have proposed a new approach for optimal sizing of solar water pumps. Their method consists of using a single PV module, a charge controller, several batteries, and a DC load.
