South Australia Achieves 100% Renewable Energy For A Whole Working Day

There have been several instances in recent months when wind energy has accounted for all, or nearly all, electricity demand in South Australia. Last Tuesday, however, set a new benchmark – the combination of wind energy and rooftop solar provided more than 100 per cent of the state’s electricity needs, for a whole working day between 9.30am and 6pm. The

German Renewables Awards For Wind Energy 2014

The official photo (below) captures a little of the spirit that pervaded Hamburg’s historic Fish Auction Hall. It was more like a party than a ceremony. The atmosphere could be summed up in three words: fine, wine and conversation. This was where the German Renewables Awards for Wind Energy 2014 were announced. There were 61 submissions and nominations for four

Surpassing Expectations Tucson Streetcar Ridership Enjoys Great Beginning

It is not quite two months since the Tucson streetcar Sun Link started operation and inspired more city travel in Tucson. The streetcars, filled with passengers, initially met projected expectations of around 3,600 passengers a day. However, the ridership expanded rapidly and almost doubled as classes at the University of Arizona started. Sun Link Project Manager Shellie Ginn explains, however

Here’s The Real Reason Why The Offshore Wind Energy Industry Has The Happies

The mood was upbeat at last week’s offshore wind industry conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey on October 7 and 8. The massive, long-awaited Cape Wind and Block Island offshore wind energy projects are kicking into high gear from the private sector, the Interior Department is steaming full speed ahead with the leasing process for additional Atlantic coast sites, and

‘Dark’ energy harvesting pushes up solar efficiency limits

The development paves the way for hybrid solar cells which could surpass current efficiency limits. The University of Cambridge team have harvested the energy of triplet excitons, an excited electron state whose energy in harvested in solar cells, and transferred it from organic to inorganic semiconductors. To date, this type of energy transfer had only been shown for spin-singlet excitons.

Electrically conductive plastics show promise for batteries, solar cells

Researchers from Purdue University have established the solid-state electrical properties of an emerging class of electrically conductive plastics called ‘radical polymers’. Called PTMA, the plastic is about 10 times more electrically conductive than common semiconducting polymers. Radical polymers could produce low-cost, transparent solar cells, flexible and lightweight batteries, and ultrathin antistatic coatings for consumer electronics and aircraft. “PTMA a polymer

Startup helps mobile app developers reduce smartphone battery drainage

Y. Charlie Hu, CEO and co-founder of Mobile Enerlytics LLC, said smartphone batteries drain faster when users interact with the phone, including when they touch the screen to manipulate mobile applications. Smartphones usually are suspended when a user has not interacted with the phone over a certain amount of time, which means little energy is used. “There are two ways

Is The Path To Cutting Carbon Emissions In The Palm of Your Hand?

TripGo*. It’s a simple concept. Provide people with an app that lowers individual transportation emissions by efficiently coordinating, navigating, and planning travel routes. Yet it’s a very real, available technology solution in line with the findings in last month’s report,A Global High Shift Scenario, published by the University of California, Davis, and the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP).
