These goggles have a couple of advantages – chief among which, the fact they don’t throw any light into the environment, ruining your stealthy silhouette – but they also have a drawback. They do tend to eat battery power faster than the simple flashlight, so you’ll need to pump that charger more frequently if you favour the goggles over the flashlight.

At the off, predictions started flying, with analysts feverishly publishing reports recalculating their 2018 outlooks and price trends. BloombergNEF said it expected to see a 34% decline in multicrystalline solar module prices in China, which would be roughly equivalent to the fall in module prices in 2016, and only exceeded by the 40% fall in prices in 2011. It provided a benchmark monocrystalline module price of US$0.37 per watt for the fourth quarter of 2017, and said it expected this to fall to just $0.24/watt by the end of the year. That was on June 5.

Solar power arrays produce direct current, or DC; solar inverters convert direct current into the standard medium voltage level of alternating current, or AC, the type of power delivered to the grid. In current systems, bulky step-up transformers are needed to increase AC voltage from low to medium before transferring it to the grid.

“This project is an important step in Shell’s efforts to explore and develop new energy technologies as we work towards our goal to power progress together by providing more and cleaner energy solutions,” said Jon La Follett, Energy System Integration and Storage Program Lead in Shell’s New Energies Research and Technology Department. “Our New Energies business is working diligently to develop game-changing energy solutions, not just in urban areas like Houston, but in rural and remote areas around the world, from Asia to Africa.”

Generally, there is also noise adding to the real and reactive currents of figure 5. In a case where only one known frequency must be analysed in a sampled waveform, the Goertzel algorithm is particularly efficient. In figure 6, a 30 mA rms ‘person leakage´ current is added to a 300 mA rms ‘capacitive leakage´ current with 7.5 mA rms of noise at time = 0.1 s. The visible effect on the total leakage current is quite burried, but after treatment with the Goertzel algorithm the 30mA current step is easily recovered. If this leakage exceeds a predefined threshold value, appropriate action can be taken at the system level.

I am pleasantly surprised at the functionality of this unit. It is remarkable flexible in several ways. The input voltage may vary from 100 to 550 VDC, with the maximum DC voltage listed as 600 VDC. That’s quite impressive, if you have your druthers, you’d always want to be on the high side of 350 VDC to drive a 240 VAC inverter, but the lower limit of 100 VDC means you could conceivable drive this unit with lead-acid batteries. I understand that you can sometimes buy used golf cart batteries cheaply, which with a little bit of desulfating, and keeping the charge above 50% can last a long time. Anyway, the huge amount of voltage flexibility is wonderfully resistant to changes in battery technology over the decades. If the best, as in cheapest per kWh batteries end up being huge cells, sort of like lead acid batteries instead of the many small cell, high voltage batteries we envision today, you are ready for it. The unit can operate at 50, or 60hz, meaning it will work in Japan, or Europe, as well as North, and South America. Presumably, the unit can also serve as a charger for the batteries, so that price arbitrage can be done with any spare battery capacity. I noticed the unit has 2kW of what the specs call “secure power”, which I take to mean uninterruptible power. If I had one of these, my LED home lighting(but not lamps powered from outlets), my networking equipment, computers, and mobile charging would all be powered by this circuit. The “normal” circuitry of the home will be connected directly to the utility service, and even if you have automatic switch over in case of utility failure, you will see transients, and if there was some sort of failure of switch over, it would be nice to have lighting, and digital communication running no matter what. The inverter, and battery unit are AC coupled, which makes using different types of batteries much simpler/cheaper, but results in a bit lower efficiency compared to DC coupling. For DC coupling, you’d have to have some sort of DC to DC converter to maintain the huge DC voltage range, which would lose any increase in efficiency. On the other hand, the engineer in me likes the simplicity of having the input to the inverter, capacitors for high momentary demand, the output from the solar MPPT circuitry, the output from the rectifier connected to the utility service, and the batteries all sitting on one big DC buss. Of course, for this the batteries would need to be designed for the inverter/battery control unit, at least as far as DC voltage range. I can’t wait to see what these will sell for. Since one design works pretty much everywhere on the planet, and with any batteries, I would think mass production would let it be sold at a reasonable price.

With a maximum energy storage capacity ranging from 5 to 80 kWh, this lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery is designed for residential and business use, storing electricity and optimizing the energy efficiency of the installation, thanks to the stabilization of the power supplied.
