new The challenge is not just replacing coal and gas with solar and wind – it’s about building a new, smart, and integrated energy system. And while solar and wind will play a significant role, the future green energy system will be based on a multitude of sources. Solar and wind will be complemented by energy sources such as hydroelectric generation, biogas, and sustainable biomass, as well as geothermal heat or even wave or tidal energy, to form a diversified mix of renewable energy. All these energy sources can be combined with pumped and battery storage, while hydrogen and Power-to-X solutions, which will make up an increasingly large share of power consumption, can run when energy is abundant and turn off when it's scarce. — orsted.com, 6h ago

new Renewable energy is exactly that – renewable. This means it’ll never run out; the sun will always shine, and the wind will always blow. And while some renewables – like wind and solar – have variable outputs, battery storage technologies make it possible to balance the electricity supply and create a more flexible and reliable grid system. — orsted.com, 6h ago

new The goals of the largest energy programs are to upgrade grid resiliency, build direct air capture hubs, increase carbon capture and storage, and develop hydrogen hubs.

new The highest priority for Europe’s energy system should be to accelerate the build-out of renewable energy. There have been some promising legislative developments in the context of Fit-for-55 and RePowerEU, which could finally remedy EU-wide barriers to permitting procedures. But other regulatory bottlenecks remain. An excellent example is offshore wind farms connecting to more than one market (offshore hybrids or so-called ‘energy islands’). In order to benefit from the systemic value that offshore hybrids will bring, it is crucial to unleash investments in these projects by eliminating regulatory induced volume and price risk for these large-scale renewable projects. — orsted.com, 5h ago

new In 2019, Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (EMA) set a deployment target of at least 200MWh of energy storage system capacity beyond 2025, to complement Singapore’s efforts in maximising solar adoption. Sembcorp’s energy storage system – with a maximum capacity of 285MWh connected to the grid – marks the achievement of Singapore’s energy storage target ahead of time. The fast response nature of ESS is essential in mitigating solar intermittency caused by changing weather conditions in Singapore’s tropical climate. It would also enhance Singapore’s power grid stability and resilience by managing mismatches between electricity demand and supply. — electronicspecifier.com, 20h ago

new The new generation of storage systems consists of the TS HV 30 E, the TS HV 50 E, and the TS HV 80 E. The efficient high-voltage storage units are easily scalable. Combined, they achieve a total energy of up to 5-megawatt hours. The new three energy storage systems also incorporate advanced Tesvolt battery modules, each with 22 Samsung SDI cells of the latest generation. The high energy density of the battery cells makes these storage systems especially economical. New features include the Sunny Tripower Storage X three-phase battery inverter from SMA, which ensures even faster reaction and control times as well as a broad usable DC voltage range. And the energy storage systems can now be combined with two different energy management systems: the Basic or Pro model. Tesvolt offers a 10-year guarantee for the system and performance with the new storage systems. — electronicspecifier.com, 20h ago

new Before any of this nonsense is entertained, UN-IPCC needs to publish the “Grid Synchronization, Frequency, Voltage, and Reactive Power Plan” handbook.
