Pacific Energy delivers first hydrogen standalone power system
Pacific Energy has deployed a first-of-a-kind containerized hydrogen electrolyzer and fuel cell as part of a tech development project that is exploring the feasibility of using hydrogen as a clean energy source and storage solution in northern Australia.
PV may help CSP reduce its LCOE by 18% in Saudi Arabia
Researchers have found that the current levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for concentrated solar power (CPS) plant in Saudi Arabia could be as low as $0.137/kWh. However, combining the tech with PV would significantly enhance the cost competitiveness of CSP.
Grenergy secures PPA for 260 MW-1,100 MWh of solar-plus-storage in Chile
Grenergy said its new power purchase agreement (PPA) for 260 MW/1,100 MWh of solar-plus-storage in Chile has a duration of 15 years. The installation is part of the fourth phase of the massive 1 GW/4 GWh Oasis de Atacama solar-plus-storage project.
Rising CO2 prices could make PV heat pumps cheap choice for German homes
Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) says rising CO2 prices could make PV-powered heat pumps the most cost-effective choice for residential heating in the country, with heat pump uptake and district heating adoption proving more economical than replacing gas heating.
Thermoacoustic refrigerator-heat pump with direct-coupling configuration
Researchers in China have designed a heat-driven thermoacoustic refrigerator/heat pump for room refrigeration. They said the system is easily combinable with PV energy and its coefficient of performance can reach up to 1.69.
