September 25, 2010 in Policy States that already meet or exceed Renewable Energy Standards of 15% by 2021 would not be held back by the latest Democratic attempt to pass nationwide legislation requiring that utilities at least provide a minimum supply of clean energy. Enviros are dismayed by the feeble requirements in Senator Bingaman’s Renewable Energy Standard S 3813 (pdf), because many states already exceed 15% by 2020 requirement. However, that misses the intent of the bill. This bill pretty much just addresses just the 15 coal states that don’t have any RES legislation, the states that are the equivalent of “clunkers”. States ...
Zachary Shahan of CleanTechnica wind turbine Ever wondered how much electricity could be produced from a wind turbine in your backyard, in the parking lot of the company, or somewhere else? I know I have. A new application for the iPhone from Danish wind energy giant Vestas I can say exactly that. The application time Vestas know where your iPhone, of course, and based on that information to calculate the amount of energy one of its 3MW turbines V112 (yes, one of its newer products) would generate and the amount of dioxide keep carbon out of the atmosphere. The application is only for the iPhone, ...
September 20, 2010 He says the International Energy Agency in its report ETP-2010, presented today in Madrid from 1990 to 2000 CO2 emissions grew at an average of 1.1% annually from 2000 to 2007, 3% per year . The IEA warns that this trend is quite insostenble. Also in the new report explains how to curb it and to achieve that by 2050 CO2 emissions are half those of 2005. "Achieving this reduction will be challenging and will require considerable investment. But the benefits in terms of environmental performance, greater energy security and lower energy bills will also be significant," said the ...
September 17, 2010 White House advisers, teachers of the prestigious MIT, academics ... Up to seventeen "internationally recognized professionals with extensive experience in the energy sector" have collaborated in the drafting of "Green Power: Renewable energy and electricity system", a work that wants to be either "essentially informative" and has been prolonged by EU Energy Commissioner, Günther Oettinger. The book "Green Power: Renewable energy and electricity system", whose presentation will take place in Madrid on September 21, boasts "a visible and practical" and seeks to answer questions like "why is it necessary to support renewable energy , how and how much to ...
Unified recharge electric cars 10:07 (17.09.2010) | 1 German manufacturers refills unified electric cars can recharge in normal mode and phase (AC). German car manufacturers Audi, BMW, Daimler, Porsche and Volkswagen are working together to promote the creation of a common standardized system to recharge the cars fitted with electric motors that can be used internationally. Those responsible for developing the major German automakers have agreed to define a universal connection system, that allows charging from a studio to a three-phase mode with alternating current, while using direct current is still under development . These companies have highlighted the importance of having a common ...
M. 17.09.2010 Á. Patiño / D. Badia 1 Snowball the power deficit is now unstoppable. That hole in the system arises because the costs are higher than income, due to some insufficient electricity rates. [Photo from the news] Enlarge photo Judging by the events of yesterday, the Government appears to have thrown the towel to remedy the deficit avalanche. First, because he's willing to ask the bank much more than expected to cover the hole. And second, because, although internal working documents of the Executive acknowledges that the bill should go up by 115% immediately, the government will freeze the rates on 1 October, ...
miércoles, 08 de septiembre de 2010 gamesa,ha vendido al grupo Ikea en Alemania un total de seis parques eólicos, situados en cuatro localidades de Alemania, con una potencia total instalada de 45,05 MW. Los parques se encuentran en las regiones de Baja Sajonia (Oberende), Hesse (Diemeslsee I y II) y Rhineland-Palatinate (Winsterspelt I y II y Zettingen), situadas en el noroeste y suroeste del país, respectivamente. Los proyectos han sido desarrollados recientemente por Gamesa. La última ampliación del parque de Zettingen está actualmente en construcción. Con esta operación, Gamesa sigue adelante con su estrategia de desarrollo y puesta en valor de ...
Dinamarca quiere almacenar el viento... en bolsas 1 de septiembre de 2010 El experimento ha sido llevado a cabo por ingenieros de la Universidad Técnica de Dinamarca y, grosso modo, consistiría en inyectar aire comprimido en grandes bolsas enterradas bajo las dunas de Jutlandia. Las bolsas se inflarían mediante unos compresores eléctricos activados con energía eólica. Con vistas a futuras aplicaciones de almacenamiento de la energía eólica a gran escala, un grupo de ingenieros daneses ha conseguido hacerlo a pequeña escala (varios kilovatios) utilizando grandes bolsas sintéticas reforzadas, según informa Ingeniøren, rotativo local especializado en ingeniería. El grado de eficiencia durante las pruebas ...
Intelligent Underwater Swarming Turbinesde Tech the Future de David Graus Efficiency is key when it comes to harvesting renewable power, and innovation is an important aspect in upping that efficiency. How about this for some innovation? Researchers from the American Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University are thinking up ways to create intelligent underwater marine power turbine swarms! Say what? The idea is actually pretty straightforward. So let’s break it down. The marine power turbine bit speaks for itself; ...
