Europe's transition to a green energy future

Vía euronews.com Sweden gets more than half of its energy from renewables but how is the rest of Europe doing when it comes to generating clean power? Sweden is one of the leading lights when it comes to energy transition in Europe. The Nordic country gets more than half of all its energy needs from renewables. By 2045, it plans to be carbon free. The Scandinavian state’s success, however, is in stark contrast when compared to others. Despite the EU setting transition targets for 2020, some countries continue to lag behind. For instance, Poland still remains deeply reliant on coal to generate its energy. With so many jobs dependent on the fossil fuel, there is an obvious reluctance to change. Marek Wystyrk is a former Polish miner. He admits that transitioning to cleaner fuels is necessary but still believes coal has a future. "I think we have to use our wealth of coal. I’m from a coal-mining family. But I know that we h...

PV Pointer: How to optimize PV system structural design for environmental hazards

Vía solarbuildermag.com According to a recent study by SolarPower Europe, new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity installed worldwide in 2016 reached more than 76 gigawatts. This was largely due to dramatic growth led by the United States and China, with both countries almost doubling the amount of solar added from 2015. Globally there is now more than 305 GW of solar capacity, and with the increase of solar projects around the world, different climates, topography and other geographic considerations are making design for the environment increasingly important to ensure the integrity of the system over its lifetime. PV plants are subject to a multitude of threats from the physical environment over the span of their lifetime. These threats must be taken into consideration during structural design in order to mitigate the risk to the system. With PV plants now being installed all over the world, the applicable risks will vary greatly depending on the geographic loca...

Microsoft inks renewable energy deal for Bengaluru facility

Vía Livemint.com The agreement will see Microsoft purchase 3 megawatts of solar-powered electricity from Atria Power for its new office building in Bengaluru. Tech giant Microsoft on Tuesday said it has inked its first renewable energy deal in India for powering its new facility in Bengaluru. The agreement will see Microsoft purchase 3 megawatts of solar-powered electricity from Atria Power for its new office building in Bengaluru, meeting 80% of the projected electricity needs at the facility, Microsoft said in a statement. The company, however, did not disclose the financial details of the deal. The facility, which will be operational starting June, is spread over 5.85 lakh square feet. The Karnataka government is encouraging investments in local solar energy operations, in line with the country’s goal of ramping up solar power generation to 100 gigawatts by 2022. Once completed, the project will bring Microsoft’s total global direct procurement in renewabl...

Solar panel makes light of a sudden downpour

Fuente thetimes.co.uk Solar panels are all very well, but what Britain really needs is a rain panel . While on sunny days the UK can produce more than 8GW of solar energy, enough to meet almost a quarter of its demands, on dull days during winter output falls below 1GW. Scientists in China claim to have solved this problem with a device that can turn from harvesting the energy in the sun’s rays to capturing the mechanical energy from falling raindrops. They say that the technology could be incorporated into electricity-generating raincoats that power the wearer’s gadgets while they splash through a downpour. The prototype, described in the journal ACS Nano , works like a normal silicon solar cell in sunshine then switches over in the rain to a…
