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.

The world's first ip camera that can be suspended for 360-degree monitor -part 3

It is worth mentioning that this suspension ip camera has a distinct advantage that it can be moved anywhere. Therefore, depending on the occasion, you can arrange it to different locations. For example, at a class reunion, there will often be some classic moments of joy and awkwardness. These will all be fleeting. Classmate A smiled and fell to the bottom of the table.

When Moon detects sound or movement, it will automatically spin, take a snapshot, or respond in a preset way. You can also manipulate it directly to record videos and take snapshots.

In addition, Moon's sensors can monitor room temperature, humidity, light, and carbon dioxide levels. It also includes a "presence simulation" tool that can occasionally switch lights or other devices, just like someone at home, plus an integrated home alarm to better conduct the theft.

If all goes well, Moon will be available for sale at a retail price of $330 in March 2018. The price is not too cheap. However, you can also book it from the Indiegogo financing page for $209, which saves 40%.

The company will first launch moonlight silver color. In addition to this color, the company also promised to launch two other colors: silver-gray and star-white. Currently, the company has raised 81,301 yuan, and it still has 1 month left until the deadline. It has exceeded 81% of the company's financing target (45,000).

With it guarding your house and nursing home, it is a thief's nemesis. If you need a home monitoring device, it is undoubtedly a good choice. This camera, in addition to being a security monitoring device, is more like a small smart center at home. If you can accept the price, it is indeed a very good product. What will be the response after the official launch? Let us wait and see.
