New York transmission upgrades to make room for renewables
The Public Service Commission of New York State authorized 62 local transmission upgrades to eliminate constraints in delivering renewable energy.
Innovations in long-duration energy storage
Long-duration energy storage (LDES) is essential for decarbonizing the grid but gigawatt-hour scale systems continue to be tricky for companies with big ideas.
Sunrise brief: The outstanding success of solar on new homes in California
Also on the rise: Intersolar North America takeaways. Over 25 GW of solar is actively being constructed in the U.S. And more.
Isolated cell battery technology project unveiled at N.Y. Power Authority office
Cadenza’s supercell is produced with funding assistance from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. The battery technology prevents a ‘thermal runaway,’ or an incident creating overheating or fire when a singular cell consumes the whole battery.
Intersolar North America takeaways: Residential Storage and utility solar O&M improvements
The event, which is dedicated to advancing the clean energy transition, featured four keynote addresses, hundreds of exhibiting companies, the third annual Solar Games installer competition, and valuable distributed energy panel sessions and networking opportunities.
Over 25 GW of solar is actively being constructed in the U.S.
The capacity joins the existing 107 GW of solar on the U.S. grid, signaling that the energy transition is well underway.
Energy storage as a transmission system asset
At a grid-scale energy storage panel at Intersolar North America, industry leaders pointed to international storage project case studies that could be replicated in the U.S.
50 states of solar incentives: North Dakota
Solar hasn’t yet taken hold in North Dakota, a state that relies more on wind power when it comes to renewable energy adoption.
The outstanding success of solar on new homes in California
Even before the new home solar mandate, California had achieved groundbreaking levels of solar adoption, largely due to policy and incentives, said report by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
U.S. scientists improve photoresponsivity in solar perovskite by 250%
Researchers led by the University of Rochester claim to have increased the photoresponsivity of a lead-halide perovskite for solar cell applications by 250%. They created a perovskite film with a plasmonic substrate made of hyperbolic metamaterial and characterized it with transition dipole orientation.
