Achieving high levels of renewable energy affordably is particularly challenging for off-grid mines in remote locations because intermittent PV or wind with costly batteries still require dirty, expensive diesel for ...
It’s easy to identify the biggest climate threats: coal and oil-fired power stations pouring emissions into the atmosphere, heavy industry smoking up the sky, and the seemingly endless traffic jams of petrol and diesel polluting vehicles. But another enemy is standing in the way of a greener future; one rarely mentioned because it’s effectively invisible: our legacy energy ...
Diesel bus emissions pose environmental and health risks The transportation industry is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. That’s predicted to get even worse over the 30 years. Diesel buses, the most widely used form of public transportation, are a major offender. These heavy polluters are responsible for 25 percent of the black carbon emitted by the ...
At their North American headquarters in Boston, the company wanted to create a visible example of their microgrid technology in action, while offsetting energy costs and creating a backup power source during outages. REC Solar built and will operate the canopy and rooftop solar arrays that power the microgrid, which was built by Schneider ...
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the experience of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in rural electrification with renewable energy-based microgrids or mini-grids, and identify challenges and business opportunities in rural electrification in the least developed countries (LDCs). Several case studies are presented to show GEF’s strategies of financing ...
Sustainability is often seen as a by-product of smart city technology—instead of being the driving force behind smart cities. ...
To help energy professionals maximize the potential effectiveness and ROI of this emerging technology area, the Microgrid World Forum, March 12-14, 2013 in Irvine, California, will bring together a full constellation of industry players from around the world for three days of focused information sharing, case study updates, regulatory discussions, and one-on-one ...
Based on a thorough investigation of this scheme, we underline the importance of understanding the interdependencies between the power grid and the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure controlling it, which may introduce new or amplify existing vulnerabilities. Some mitigation strategies are presented to avoid or deal with these vulnerabilities.Keywords: ...
