NPCIL to set up nuclear-powered hydrogen generation plants
Nuclear Power Corp. of India Ltd (NPCIL) is setting up hydrogen generation plants with 10 Nm3 per hour capacity at its Rawatbhata (Rajasthan) and Tarapur (Maharashtra) sites. These plants will produce hydrogen via electrolysis method using nuclear power produced at the site.
California to use flexible appliances for renewable energy integration
California plans to shift 3 GW of load from dirtier, more expensive times of day to cleaner, less expensive times by setting flexible demand standards for many types of electric appliances. Global interest in California’s work is high, according to a state agency commissioner.
Algae photovoltaics for hydrogen production
South Korea researchers have developed a cell by merging green algae with carbon nanofibers, in order to generate 9.5 W per cell and achieve a peak efficiency of 0.9%. They claim this is enough to power a micro-generation system for hydrogen production.
