Wärtsilä launches new hybrid solar photovoltaic storage solution

Introduction: As the world moves toward 100% renewable energy, utilities, independent power plants (IPPs) and other energy suppliers have the power to harness their potential.

On June 25th, Wärtsilä Technology Group recently launched a new hybrid solar photovoltaic and storage solution. Wärtsilä hybrid solar energy integrates solar photovoltaic power generation and storage to provide a truly "renewable energy as a base load" solution. This Solar Generator solution is not only climate friendly, it increases flexibility and efficiency, and it can be used by power producers. The existing grid infrastructure provides support.

Wärtsilä Energy Solutions's hybrid power director said that “hybrid solar energy will allow utility companies to adapt their system's efficiency and reliability through adaptable solar photovoltaic power stations to support their basic needs. With our global energy ecosystem, the development of Hybrid Solar represents a breakthrough method for power generation."

The International Energy Agency estimates that by 2040, total global electricity generation will increase by 60%, and solar, wind, hydro, and other renewable energy sources will account for more than 45% of the total. As the world moves toward 100% renewable energy, utilities, independent power plants (IPPs) and other energy providers have the power to harness their potential.

This is Wärtsilä's latest hybrid energy solution for the market. Recently, Wärtsilä provided Essakane Solar SAS in Burkina Faso with the world’s largest 15 MW solar PV hybrid power plant, which operates with a 55 MW Ceylon thermal power plant.

The solar photovoltaic power plant and the engine power plant are now simultaneously controlled and operated, forming the largest engine solar photovoltaic hybrid power plant in Africa. The ability to control and optimize engine and solar power generation will reduce the mine's annual fuel consumption by about 6 million liters and reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by 18,500 tons.

Silicon Ranch plans to build new solar project in Georgia

June 22 news, recently, Nashville solar energy supplier Silicon Ranch Corporation and Green Power EMC work together to expand the solar product portfolio in Georgia, plans to build a 194MW (AC) solar project by 2021.

New solar project

The new solar capacity will include utility-scale single-axis tracking solar arrays located in four locations in central and southern Georgia. At present, each facility has chosen a good point to successfully negotiate all agreements with local government entities. When completed in 2021, the total solar energy portfolio will generate enough electricity by the Solar Generator to provide economic services to approximately 35,000 EMC households. Nowadays, solar power has already one of the most important energy resources that governments around the world that paying attention to.

Solar power can be used in everywhere in our lives

In fact, solar power generation is not new in the 21st century. In addition to solar cells, solar power converter and solar Charge Controller are all very convenient and necessary products. Today, without the support of government and agencies, solar charge controllers are widely used in the daily life of ordinary families since they are very convenient to use, the cost is not high, but also can save economic and resources, so it has been welcomed by the market consumers.

The 194 MW (AC) solar project plus the recently announced individual 200 MW (solar) solar procurement project will more than double the current renewable capacity obtained by the Georgian cooperative. After completion of construction in 2021, EMCs' 245 MW (AC) solar portfolio will rise to approximately 639 MW (AC).

Under the agreement, Silicon Ranch will own and operate solar facilities, and Green Power EMC will represent 30 power cooperative members to purchase solar power generated during the 30-year period. It is expected that the solar energy project will start construction by the end of this year.

Can home security camera have new surprise designs? Should the surveillance camera be fixed in a certain position on the wall? A crowdfunding project above Indiegogo may break your imagination.

The name of the project is Moon, a product launched by startup 1-Ring. As its name implies, it is suspended in the air - Moon is a floating 360-degree smart ip camera.

Suspension of electronic products is increasing, such as floating mouse, floating lamp. There is even a floating bra to help you solve the chest size problems. However, the cameras that are available on the market are generally still the kind of standing cameras. Indiegogo's information shows that the company claims to be the world's first suspension ip camera.

Moon has a large number of sensors to monitor what happens in your home and can work day and night. Its wide-angle lens is made of aluminum, plastic and rubber. The ip camera is divided into two parts, one is a suspended 360 degree rotatable camera, one is a magnetic special base. When used, this security camera will rotate 360 degrees to see everything around you.

Moon slowly rises and floats quietly over its base. It can rotate smoothly in any direction for a full 360-degree scan. The camera can be removed from the base because it is magnetic and it can be attached to any metal surface. In addition to the wide range of sight, it also installed a voice recognition system and light sensor. When it detects any sound in the room, it will turn the camera to the direction of the sound, record it, and pass it to the user via the mobile phone.

It has a built-in sound and noise recognition system, which detects, rotates, and starts recording automatically when it senses sound or movement in the room. It also includes a speaker and three muffler microphones so that it can be used for voice chat and voice control. 

3D printer pen, cultivate three-dimensional ability -part 3

Prepare 3D printing pens, consumables, transparent pads, paper molds, and the maker tools mentioned before. For the first time, it is recommended that user should create simple straight lines, curve first. There is no odor in the drawing process, but there is a phenomenon of drawing, which can be cleaned with a blade or scissors.

The drawn pattern will quickly condense and can be easily shoveled with a small spatula. The backing plate is divided into two sides: smooth and rough. It has no obvious effect on the cleanup of the work, but the side of the work in contact with the backing plate will have a difference between smooth and rough, the user can choose to paint on both sides of the pad according to demand. Due to the phenomenon of drawing of PLA material, there is also a melting of consumables at the tip of the paper, which can be cleaned with tweezers and scissors to prevent color contamination of subsequent works.

Each time the wire is replaced, the new consumables will not be immediately ejected from the tip of the pen. The previously used toner will remain in the heating chamber. After the refueling is completed, the residual toner must be placed in the blank space of the plate. Burn it out and continue painting. From this point of view, the design concept of the automatic emptying of piping used in the solar circuit is considered. Although the consumables have already been melted, it is not possible to re-condense and re-use it, but it can be automatically pressed while the user presses the back button. Drain the consumables in the pipeline to save waiting time.

Personal feeling, when using this amazing 3d printer pen, advanced users can also use plasticine pile or material carving into more personalized 3D molds, or further, through 3D modeling, with the help of 3D printers to print out their favorite mold, you can let your own work one step better.

In general, the 3D printer pen is a high-tech toy that can exercise children's (also adults of course) attention and confidence, exercise children's hands-on ability and space imagination ability, the price is also very fair, users with relevant needs can properly pay attention.

The 3D printing pen adopts a 5V, 2.1A split type power adapter, so it can be adapted to a mobile power supply to achieve a mobile application scenario. This product is no longer confined to a room with a socket, but can also go out and be carried out outdoors anytime, anywhere. The printer pen is a tree-like structure, of plastic material, delicate touch, comfortable grip.

Feed inlet, power indicator, heating status indicator, back-out keys, and silk-feed keys are arranged on the back of the printer pen and can be seen at a glance. When the inclined feed port is used, it is only necessary to insert the consumables into a stop of about 1 cm. When stopping, it is not possible to press the wire feed button before heating to the operating temperature.

After the power indicator and the heating indicator of the 3d printer pen are connected, the orange power indicator is on, and the heating status indicator on the lower side is changed from red to green one minute after the power is turned on, indicating that the user has entered the working state.

Into the wire button and back button, before heating to the operating temperature, press the two buttons of the 3d printer pen will not work, until the heating indicator light is green, the prompt has been heated to about 180 degrees, press the button at this time, and press the back button to exit the supplies, can be used to replace other colors. The black front part with cooling holes is a heating and cooling part, with a heating symbol for warning, it is recommended to change to a more striking red, to warn young players that do not touch the area to cause unnecessary harm.

Actually, 3D printing pens are very different from traditional 3D printers. The latter is basically a hand-painted work. The degree of exquisite work has a lot to do with the artist's technology, but it is relatively simple and rough, while the former is based on the use of microcomputers. The pre-input 3D model is used for printing and the work is more accurate and perfect, and it is closer to the concept of "printing" of traditional printers.

What we have brought for everyone today is such a “sacred pencil” that allows children to fully use their space imagination ability and easily DIY their own exclusive toys. It can enrich the children's leisure life, pull them back from the addictive online games to healthy play methods and lifestyle, and develop intelligence, exercise children's spatial imagination, and hands-on ability, and hone their confidence and perseverance. Experience the happiness brought about by labor.

The name of the pen is called 3d printer pen. I have a wide range of accessories including 10 bags of various consumables, 20 sheets of paper mold, 1 transparent plastic drawing board, a 3D youth creative technology education course and a maker kit. Ten sheets of paper film and a transparent pad are included.

There are three types of consumables available for 3D printing pens, namely ABS, PCL, and PLA materials. PLA consumables (polylactic acid) is a new type of biodegradable material made from renewable plant resources - such as corn cassava and other starches. It is environmentally friendly, has a small odor, and has a melting point of 180 degrees. The temperature melting point materials, color brightness, and light transmission are good, but it is strong, easy to stick paper drawing. In terms of melting point, light transmittance, color brightness, and environmental protection, PLA materials are significantly superior to traditional ABS materials, and the price is moderate.

The user can also purchase a PCL material with a lower melting point (about 90 degrees). The advantage is that it is not hot so you won't get hurt. The disadvantage is that the material is formed slowly and the price is relatively high. A 10-color PLA consumable is included in the kit. Each pack is 5 meters long. So it depends on your needs to choose the materials.

Harry And Megan’s Engagement Photos Are The Coolest In The History Of The Royal Family?

On December 22, the British royal family announced on social media the engagement photos taken by Prince Harry and girlfriend Megan Markel at Kensington Palace Gardens, officially announcing their engagement. The 33-year-old Prince Harry of the United Kingdom and the 36-year-old American actress Meghan Markel will hold a wedding at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018. Prince Harry is the second son of the late Princess Diana, and American actor Megan Markle had had a marriage experience before. As a non-royal foreigner, the news that Megan will be the new Duchess has aroused widespread concern. Since the announcement of their love affair, they have drawn much attention from all sectors of society.

Earlier media reports that Queen Elizabeth was not satisfied with Megan. However, the royal family specifically invited the vogue famous photographer Alexi Lubomirski for their engagement photos which look like a magazine cover. British people have given their blessings through social platforms. The prince and Megan are very sweet, intimate, and have a love of happiness in the photo. This is a completely different style from previous royal engagement photos. Let’s have a review of some engagement photos of other royal family members.

The engagement photos of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in 1947 appear to be more cautious. The two stood side by side with a small distance in between. In 1981 the marriage of Princess Diana and Charles is relatively easier, and the two are wearing the same color of clothing. Princess Diana embraces Charles from behind casually. Prince William and Kate's engagement photos are even more intimate. Photographer Mario Testino, who photographed William and Kate at the time, was the boss of photographer Alexi. Therefore, this group of photos is warm and yet dignified and extravagant.
