New photovoltaic energy storage platform

Why is Huawei launching smart photovoltaic & energy storage solutions at Intersolar Europe 2022?

Huawei has launched its new smart photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage solutions at Intersolar Europe 2022. The intelligent solutions reflect rising global demand for low-carbon smart solutions underpinned by clean energy.

Can floating photovoltaics be optimized for offshore use?

A team of scientists from China and the United States studied ways to optimize floating photovoltaics for offshore use. It found that the robustness of the systems was influenced by the size and number of platforms, as well as the types of connections between platforms.

Can solar and battery storage compete directly with fossil-based electricity options?

We find and chart a viable path to dispatchable US$1 W−1 solar with US$100 kWh−1 battery storage that enables combinations of solar, wind, and storage to compete directly with fossil-based electricity options. Electricity storage will benefit from both R&D and deployment policy.

Can semi-submersible Ocean Engineering platforms be used in FPV platforms?

For this study, the group introduced a novel modular design for FPV platforms that incorporated the concept of semi-submersible ocean engineering platforms. It used a catenary mooring system, which is based on a curve that has been commonly used in bridge, ship, and ocean platform moorings.

Does Energy Vault have a gravitational energy storage tower?

Energy Vault secured $100 million in Series C funding for its EVx tower, which stores gravitational potential energy for grid dispatch. The EVx energy storage tower lifts composite blocks with electric motors. Image: Energy Vault Energy Vault, maker of the EVx gravitational energy storage tower, has secured $100 million in series C funding.

Why do we need a co-optimized energy storage system?

The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitate advances in analytical tools to reliably and efficiently plan, operate, and regulate power systems of the future.
