The US Department of Energy announced $35 million in awards for 12 projects that find new ways to harness medium-voltage electricity for applications in industry, transportation, on the grid and beyond. GE Global Research, Inline Gas Discharge Tube Breaker for Meshed MVDC Grids – $4,350,686.
Modern power grids cant run without transformers, which step voltages up and down for distribution from power plants to power stations and on to homes and businesses. Whats worse, the way we use the power grid is stressing transformers even more. Whats worse, the way we use the power grid is stressing transformers even more.
The new ARPA-E selections focus on accelerating innovations in clean technology while increasing US competitiveness in rare earth alternatives and breakthroughs in biofuels, thermal storage, grid controls, and solar power electronics. for High Power Wind Generators The University of Houston will develop a new, low-cost. 3,123,750.

Phase 1 FLECCS projects are: GE Global Research. 8 Rivers Capital. RTI International.
The deficit is driving up electricity prices, reducing grid reliability, and hobbling renewable energy deployment. grids demands public scrutiny and accountability. Proposed new transmission lines in the upper Midwest could connect at least 28 gigawatts of wind and solar to regional networks. Their grip over the backbone of U.S.
There, d elegations from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Hungary, and Romania finalized an ambitious plan: to generate up to 6 gigawatts of clean energy in the Caucasus region, run the electricity through a cable along the bottom of the Black Sea, and deliver it to Europe. The plant supplies up to 230 megawatts of power to Azerbaijans grid.
To Nick de Vries, chief technology officer at the solar-energy developer Silicon Ranch , a transformer is like an interstate on-ramp: It boosts the voltage of the electricity that his solar plants generate to match the voltage of grid transmission lines. Their very durability shoulders the grid. The company isnt alone in its quandary.
The winning project proposals (by award amount) are: Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, Georgia: $10,800,000. Laredo Bus Facility Solar Canopies: Provide shade structures with integrated, grid tied photovoltaic cells to be erected on the bus storage lot at the Laredo Bus Maintenance Facility. Of that, $26.5
The transcontinental connection would start with wind, solar, and hydropower generated in Azerbaijan and Georgia, and off-shore wind power generated in the Caspian Sea. gigawatts of clean electricity to Anaklia, Georgia, at the east end of the Black Sea. GW of offshore and onshore wind. We are a hydro country.
would supply the growing market of wind turbine generators and. copper and insulation layer by layer, instead of winding wires. Georgia Institute. The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) will develop a. The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) will develop a. for automobiles.
Planar Na-beta Batteries for Renewable Integration and Grid Applications. Eagle Picher, in partnership with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, will develop a new generation of high energy, low cost planar liquid sodium beta batteries for grid scale electrical power storage applications. Water (1 project). ENERGY STORAGE.
Under the new contracts, the teams will now develop concepts and models that can be tested in computer simulations, laboratories and wind tunnels. Moreover, the fuel burn reduction and the ‘greening’ of the electrical power grid can produce large reductions in emissions of life cycle CO 2 and nitrous oxide.
The pump was developed by researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology, with collaborators from Purdue University and Stanford University. The gears were custom-manufactured by a commercial supplier and modified in Henry’s lab in the Carbon Neutral Energy Solutions (CNES) Laboratory at Georgia Tech. —Asegun Henry.
Hardware built with WBG devices has the potential to be smaller, lighter, and much more energy-efficient, with applications across valuable sectors including transportation, information technology, the grid, and consumer electronics. Georgia Institute of Technology. Grid-Connected Modular Soft-Switching Solid State Transformers.
With the aim of strengthening the business base in the sharply contracting North American market, Unisia of Georgia and Tokico (USA) will be brought under Kentucky-headquartered Hitachi Automotive Products (USA) Inc., Hitachi will also establish Renewable Energy & Smart Grid Division in the Power Systems Group.
Exascale Predictive Wind Plant Flow Physics Modeling, Steve Hammond (NREL) with SNL, ORNL, University of Texas Austin. Optimizing Stochastic Grid Dynamics at Exascale, Henry Huang (PNNL) with ANL, NREL. Exascale Modeling of Advanced Particle Accelerators, Jean-Luc Vay (LBNL) with LLNL, SLAC.
wind and solar projects for every vehicle it sells by the end of the year. Rivian also announced a renewable energy matching initiative on Monday, in which it’s purchasing 4.8 MWh of renewable energy certificates (RECs) from U.S.
The Georgia Public Service Commission just this week approved utility Georgia Power’s plan to build three new methane and oil-burning plants, as well as to buy energy from sister company Mississippi power, delaying retirement of one of that company’s coal-fired plants, according to the Southern Environmental Law Center.
Georgia Department of Transportation. The Macon-Bibb County Transit Authority, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation, will receive funding to purchase battery electric buses and supporting charging infrastructure. The project will add to battery electric buses that are currently in StarMetro's fleet.
billion battery factory in Georgia (rendering pictured), which would have created 700 jobs. But most of that came from just one company GE Vernova pouring more than $120 million into wind, solar, and electric grid manufacturing in Texas, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, New York, and Florida. Georgia follows closely with 32.
Photo: Openverse Renewables – solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydropower – are now 30% of total US electrical generating capacity, according to analysis of FERC’s mid-year data. During the first half of 2024, solar and wind added 13,072 MW and 2,129 MW, respectively. For seven of those 10 months, wind took second place.
seconds Top speed: 115 mph Curb Weight: 5,324 pounds Max Towing: 2,000 pounds Wind and Land 280 miles AER (with optional 20-inch wheels) 99.8 Though not marketed as an off-road trail seeker, the EV9 Wind, Land and GT-Line models do come with all-wheel drive. 0-60 mph: 7.7 kWh battery Single electric motor RWD 201 hp and 258 lb.-ft.
The 2024 Kia EV9 comes in Light, Wind, Land, and GT-Line trim levels, and so far Green Car Reports has only driven the top-spec GT-Line, offering up 379 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque in its all-wheel-drive layout. The great range numbers come thanks to a lot of work with the wind tunnel. coefficient of drag.
kWh battery that in the rear-wheel drive Light LR, Wind, GT-Line trims is targeted to have a 319 all-electric driving range. The EV6 line, excluding the EV6 GT, will now all be built in West Point, Georgia. The solar roof adds to off-grid capabilities. The biggest changes for 2025 are the available 84.0
Similar tactics that leveraged physical and mobile autonomous things could extend the blast radius beyond IT infrastructure to destroy physical infrastructure like factories, pipelines, electric grids, or worse. Autonomous systems are already demonstrating tremendous value today, and we are just scratching the surface.
Not to mention its vehicle-to-load (V2L), vehicle-to-home (V2H) , and, one day, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities once energy companies start to play nice. The AWD Wind or the Land trims, however, intrigue me. Remember – the EV9 is on an 800V platform capable of 210 kW peak charge power and replenishment in 24 minutes. Expensive, yes.
Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the power grid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. power-grid transmission.

Vivint Solar, Lehi, Utah Wind Turbine Drivetrain Reliability Assessment and Remaining Useful Life Prediction, $100,000 WindESCo, Boston, Mass. Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Ga.
In July, Trump reportedly asked oil and gas CEOs for a $1 billion campaign donation in exchange for scrapping EV policies, halting wind energy expansion, and derailing other clean-energy policies that the industry opposes. There’s been no about-face to a clean-energy economy. Climate Power also points to Texas as a hub for investment.
