Researchers from the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan School of Engineering are examining ways to redesign how electricity is distributed within power grids. Their research proposes a power system operation that would consist of multiple […]
The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) recently announced up to $43 million is now available in funding to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Funding will enable power generators […]
Researchers at the University of Colorado are developing low-cost, high-performance, aqueous flow battery technology that potentially will lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy. They use chromium – which is abundant in […]
Researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia are proposing the use of floating microgrids made up of electric boat motors, renewable energy, and controls to help power islands after disasters. “Powering […]
The US Department of Energy (DOE) awarded General Motors (GM) a total of $9.1 million as part of its 2019 fiscal year award funds – $2 million of which is explicitly related to research and […]
London City Airport, which is undergoing a £500 million (~$633 million US) City Airport Development Program (CADP), will work with its energy infrastructure partner, UK Power Networks Services, to install a microgrid that combines solar […]
Ohio-based electric utility, American Electric Power (AEP), and Honda are partnering to explore possible uses for used electric vehicle (EV) batteries, including renewables integration, while also seeking to address several challenges associated with the expansion […]
The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) is launching a new microgrid research facility – the new Center for Grid Innovation in NAIT’s Productivity and Innovation Centre, a 17,650 square meter facility which includes advanced […]
Volkswagen is preparing its mobile quick charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) for a pilot scheme to debut in the first half of 2019. The goal is to be able to use the stations in […]
The Arizona Corporation Commission’s regulators recently approved a new statewide policy on electric-vehicle infrastructure that urges state-regulated utilities to help speed the rollout of electric vehicles by offering special rates for EV charging and supporting […]
