Revolutionizing Power Grids: The Essential Role of HVDC and FACTS in Modern Energy Transmission

Traditional alternating current (AC) transmission systems face limitations in their abilities to handle the variability of renewable energy sources, an issue compounded by the persistent challenges of an aging infrastructure.

The Impact of EMP Hardening on Solar Hybrid Inverters

EMPs can severely damage electronic devices and disrupt power supplies. EMP hardening offers a safeguard, especially for residential hybrid inverters like the Sol-Ark 15K-2P Whole Home hybrid inverter.

Enabling Great British Energy - A zero-carbon grid requires specific technologies to ensure reliability

Starmer's government intends to invest £8.3 billion of funding into a new, publicly owned green power company as part of wider energy security and sustainability goals.

Winds of Change: How the Renewables Revolution is Harnessing AI

After many of the nation's Net Zero commitments were relaxed or reneged on under the Conservative government, increasing the level of automation in the renewables space could be a key way to reaffirm our net zero goals.

Planning, Designing and Operating Microgrids

Just putting solar PV panels, batteries, chargers and generators out there and saying this is the size you need because this is how much you consume, isn't going to get you what you want. You have to be mindful of how these systems are going to get orchestrated together.

Effective operations and monitoring of distributed energy resources

Large-scale DER installations are undoubtedly a positive addition to the energy network, but their integration and management is more complex than that of individual, smaller scale DERs.

Solar EV Charging to Bypass the Grid: A US$2.5 Billion Market by 2034, Says IDTechEx

The South African utility grid is subject to frequent load-shedding, periods when demand exceeds supply, and utility operators are forced to impose rolling black or brownouts of up to 50% capacity.

Puerto Rico Can Reach Its 100% Renewable Energy Goal by 2050

NREL Led PR100 Study That Modeled Possible Scenarios Built on Stakeholder Priorities of Energy Affordability, Resilience and Reliability, Land Use, and Economic Benefits

Mini-grid for extended family - NZ Homestead gets private power

The power supply at Tim and Fiona's homestead in Auckland, New Zealand is distributed from a micro grid which serves their extended family of eight, across three tiny homes, the main residence, and large workshop.

What's in store for the electric grid this winter?

While the forecast for record cold creates potential for further strain on an already vulnerable electric grid, this past summer has shown that renewables and battery storage can be leaned on to stabilize the grid.

The Role of HVDC in the Energy Transition

HVDC is a transmission system that uses direct current (DC) for the transfer of power over long distances. As remote offshore windfarms and the grid are often far apart, HVDC enables effective transmission due to its uniform current density throughout the line.

Is it make or break time for the UK's energy transformation?

Could the lagging investment in the energy grid be one of the greatest problems facing the UK's infrastructure today? Suzanna Lashford from Vattenfall Networks shares her thoughts.

Three Reasons to Avoid Self-Integration of Battery-based Energy Storage Systems

In our latest blog, our experts share some valuable insights on why avoiding self-integration of battery-based energy storage systems is the best approach for long-term success.

Shungnak, Alaska Microgrid Offsets Costly Diesel for the Village

The solar and energy storage system offset the fuel consumption of the diesel generators, reducing sound and carbon pollution and lowering the overall cost of energy for the community.

China's Largest Stand-alone Energy Storage Station with Hithium LFP Battery Inside has Gone Live

This project is a great example of finding the best available technology at the best value, in order to answer the technical challenges the grid is faced with when delivering a net zero energy sector.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production

In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
