ADVANCING A SAFETY-FIRST SOLAR CULTURE
Terrasmart has always fostered a culture of safety, and we continually look for ways to raise our own bar. This year, we engaged our entire team in a centralized, weeklong, in-person training, going far beyond standard practices for safety training in the industry.
Recent Advances in Solar Integration for Transportation
Solar power, as a renewable and decentralized resource, offers a unique opportunity to complement grid electricity, reduce emissions, and enhance energy resilience. This paper investigates recent advancements in solar energy integration for transportation.
What Are the Inherent Risks of BESS Sites, and How Can Operators Overcome Them?
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are revolutionizing the way we power our world, acting as the source that keeps renewable energy flowing even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.
Battling Revenue Erosion: Sharper SOC Accuracy Can Lift BESS Earnings by 11 %
For lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries—now powering more than 80 % of new BESS builds—SOC error margins of 10-20 % points are routine because LFP’s flat voltage profile makes precise measurements tricky.
A Foundation for Success: Navigating Bedrock & 180-mph Winds
Bahamas Solar & Renewables took a non-traditional path to build their first solar site by bypassing the use of an EPC. Instead, they hired local contractors to execute their civil and electrical work. This initiative ensured economic support for the local community.
Inspection of critical infrastructure using intelligent drones
A research group at the University of Klagenfurt has designed a real-time capable drone based on object-relative navigation using artificial intelligence. Also on board: a USB3 Vision industrial camera from the uEye LE family from IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH.
