Distributed Storage

Siemens Energy India will provide solutions across the entire energy value chain – from power and heat generation, transmission to storage.

Hydrogen, often lauded as a beacon of hope in the quest for a low-carbon future, stands at a pivotal crossroads. As the world grapples with the dual challenges of escalating energy demands and climate change, hydrogen presents a unique opportunity to harmonize industrial development with environmental stewardship. However, its path is fraught with complexities and obstacles that require careful navigation.

Exicom’s Harmony Gen 1.5 DC Fast charger features a modular construction enabling power outputs from 60 kW to 400 kW. The charger is suitable for in-city, highways or heavy duty fleets.

Economic cooperation between India and Australia may open doors for investment in clean energy technology but challenges still abound in a competitive global market. Vibhuti Garg and Shantanu Srivastava, of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, discuss the role that public funding and resource pooling could play in supporting manufacturing ambitions.

Modeling shows that shifting just one-third of the electricity consumption of commercial and institutional buildings in Australia to the middle of the day, coinciding with peak solar supply, would create almost 12 GW of new peak capacity in the National Electricity Market.

Indian scientists have designed an off-grid power system that relies on solar panels, lithium-ion batteries and Ćuk converters. The converters are the crucial components that enable the system to deal with varying input voltage due to changing sunlight conditions.

Scientists in Czechia have conducted a techno-economic analysis of a green hydrogen production system powered exclusively by photovoltaic and wind energy. The system uses surplus energy for water treatment and, according to its creator, can achieve a levelized cost of hydrogen of $3.12/kg.

A new mobile power generator that combines solar and renewable hydrogen to provide zero-emissions power for remote and off-grid applications has been unveiled by Australian startup H2PowerBox.

A new study evaluates seven different configurations of hybrid renewable energy systems to meet the electricity requirements of an off-grid village community in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, cost-effectively and sustainably. It finds the system combining solar PV panels, wind turbines, biogas generator, lithium-ion battery, converter, electrolyser, and hydrogen tank to be the best performing as it has the lowest fuel consumption rate, net present cost, levelised cost of energy, and cost of hydrogen.

Battery prices reached an all-time low in 2023 led by the moderation in raw material prices amid the increase in production across the value chain
