Could Mini-Grids be the Future?
A mini-grid is made up of several small-scale electricity generators and sometimes energy storage systems combined with a distribution network that provides electricity to a limited number of localised clients and runs independently from the main transmission grid. They could have a few kilowatts’ worth of power or ten megawatts’.…
Technical Fault in NATS System
If you are a wind farm or building developer, or someone involved in this process, you may have already heard of NATS (formally known as NATS Holdings Limited). The term originally stood for National Air Traffic Services, and they are one of the UK’s largest aviation stakeholders that form a…
Photoelectrochemical Cells
Part of the problem with trying to further renewable energy, is trying to eliminate the waste products and removing the need to use up our planets limited resources. This includes things such as Lithium for batteries to store solar power and the difficulty in trying to recycle solar panels when…
The Future of the Strategic Raw Material: Phosphate
Most people are, at the very least, aware of what a solar panel is. By drawing in the preexisting energy given off by the sun, the panels convert that energy into electricity . But not so many people are aware that there is an important raw material called phosphorus used…
Agrivoltaic In Europe
Agrivoltaics is the practice of using the same area of land for both solar photovoltaic power as well as for agriculture, which implies that solar panels and crops will share sunlight. This was discussed in our previous article: “Agrivoltaics: Combining Agriculture With Solar Power”. Figure 1: Agrivoltaic systems with fixed…
The Electric Car Revolution: Was the Charging Question Just an After-Port?
Scientific research on climate change is conclusive that human action has influenced global warming and extreme weather events, “It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land. Widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere have occurred.” – IPCC report on climate change…
The World’s Largest Wind Turbine Is Turned On
China has, in recent years, been smashing wind and solar power targets, and in a recent announcement, the world’s largest wind turbine has now been turned on in China. China has a history of breaking wind turbine records, and therefore, it is not surprising that China leads the way in…
Why are Glint and Glare Effects Towards Local Roads Considered a Low Impact?
Introduction The first stage of assessing the potential impact of glint and glare towards surrounding road users involves undertaking an initial review of the available imagery to determine the specific roads to be taken forward for geometric modelling. Local roads are not typically taken forward for geometric modelling because the…
