The Western Australian government-owned utility has inked $8.8 million in contracts signed for the first stage of its landmark off-grid program for regional properties. The deployment will be led by local WA companies, Hybrid Systems and BayWa r.e. Solar Systems.

Once he’s at work, New Mike parks at a charging port for electric cars. There are four of these stations on the Charles River Campus, and two at the Medical Campus, with more expected. For 25 cents an hour, or $20 a month, he can recharge his vehicle for his ride home.

The ChargeTech PS120K packs multiple batteries for a total capacity of 124,800 mAh (462 Wh), which is enough to charge a typical 13.3-inch laptop for 10 times, or Apple’s iPhone XR 47 times. Obviously, the product can do much more than that. It has two 110-120 Volt AC power outlets that can deliver up to 300 W each, three DC 9-12V/5A power outlets, a cigarette lighter port, three USB Type-A ports, and a USB Type-C port supporting 60 W power delivery (see exact specs in the table below). It requires its own special power supply to charge it, which is not built in to the device.

The biggest potential problem is that a cyberhacker could access thousands of solar electricity system inverters and shut down the electricity provided to the grid, says the report by Ridge Global LLC, a consulting firm founded by former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge.

High power battery is a significant feature that changes the way you look at a smartphone. Your phone requires a smart battery which promises extensive usage without causing any glitch in your work. Well, it wouldn’t be wrong to say a phone with longer battery life definitely earns more brownie points and gets picked up from the racks.

Glen Morris will be running another four day residential Solar + Storage training courses at Smart Energy Lab near Healesville, Victoria.  Next course runs 8:30am to 5pm 26 February to 1st March (3:00pm finish on Friday).

The South African renewable energy industry rejoiced as the outstanding PPAs were finally signed on April 4.

The benefits are obvious. A refrigerator with a digital inverter compressor consumes less energy than a single-speed induction motor compressor, and thus contributes far less in the way of greenhouse gases. Because the digital inverter compressor gradually speeds up and slows down, it does not have to work as hard to manage the temperature. This means that refrigerators with digital inverter compressors suffer less wear and tear on components and are therefore far more durable than fridges with conventional compressors.

GaN and SiC semiconductor materials allow for smaller, faster, more reliable devices with higher efficiency than their silicon-based cousins. These capabilities make it possible to reduce weight, volume, and lifecycle costs in a wide range of power applications. Figure 1 compares the breakdown voltage and on-resistance of Si, SiC, and GaN devices.
