Waaree breaks ground on alkaline electrolyzer factory
Waaree Group has started building an alkaline electrolyzer factory in India. The facility will commence operations with 300 MW of production capacity.
What’s cooking in PV?
Scientists have conducted an analysis of 20 years of academic publications about PV-powered electric cooking and have found interest in the field peaked in 2021-2022 in both developing and developed countries. They have also outlined some potential future developments.
How to power 4G, 5G cellular base stations with photovoltaics, hydrogen
Scientists have simulated a 4G and 5G cellular base station in Kuwait, powered by a combination of solar energy, hydrogen, and a diesel generator. The lowest cost of energy was found to be $0.0714/kWh.
Solar-driven brine management system for hydrogen, chlorine production
Researchers have developed a novel energy system comprising PVT panels, reverse osmosis, reverse electrodialysis, and proton exchange membranes. The proposed setup can purportedly produce 18.78 kg/day of hydrogen and 120.6 m³/day of freshwater.
Italian scientists show technical feasibility of solid oxide fuel cells in PV-driven residential buildings
The researchers conducted a case study on a solid oxide fuel cell system deployed in a nearly zero-energy single-floor villa with a size of 80 m2 located in southern Italy. They found that, in particular conditions of photovoltaic production, the system is not only able to meet the home electric loads, but also to inject surplus energy into the network.
Solar discovery could transform hydrogen production
An international study led by Flinders University in Australia has advanced nanoscale chemistry to further develop sustainable and efficient generation of hydrogen from water using solar power.
BLS plans 1 GW fab to make battery-powered electrolyzers
Battolyser Systems’ (BLS) product is a patented dual-purpose electrolyzer with a battery function.
Innovation or not? Epeu Next Level presents hydrogen-plasma heating system
Epeu Next Level GmbH unveiled a hydrogen-plasma heating system at a recent event in Germany, its home market.
Self-powering greenhouse based on PV, BESS, hydrogen
Scientists have designed a greenhouse system that involves a battery energy storage system, hydrogen production and storage, as well as a semi-transparent PV array. The system was optimized for maximal net present value and minimal dependency on the grid.
UK commits to hydrogen-to-power subsidy mechanism
The UK government announced a new business model for hydrogen, based on dispatchable power agreements available to carbon capture technologies.
