“That has not been an issue because we just don’t export power in California,” Brennan says. “We use the solar during the day, batteries at night and grid as a backup.”

One thing that the Eco Explorer doesn’t replicate is the sink, but we reckon you’ll need water on hand so you could make a simple sink out of a collapsible bowl or bin (Credit: Campervan Co/Campers Scotland)

The average price for hydrogen fuel in California is about $16/kg — gasoline is sold by the gallon (volume) and hydrogen by the kilogram (weight). To put that in perspective, 1 gal of gasoline has about the same amount of energy as 1 kg of hydrogen. Most fuel cell electric cars carry about 5 kg to 6 kg of hydrogen but go twice the distance of a modern internal combustion engine car with equivalent gas in the tank, which works out to a gasoline-per-gallon equivalent between $5 and $6.

The strategy to grow WA’s future battery industry was launched earlier in February, looking to rein in the state’s Li-ion battery manufacturing potential as one of the world’s largest producer of lithium and a leading producer of other battery metals including nickel, cobalt and rare earths.

The Volt did develop a loyal fan base, many of whom are upset with the company for scrubbing the project.

The new energy storage solution will provide grid stability and reliability, as well as prevent curtailment of generation from renewable sources. The GEMS software system will manage the island’s generation assets as a microgrid. The system is expected to be online in April.

The HB51 is Darfon’s latest hybrid inverter that can be AC-coupled with existing PV systems, either with string or micro inverters, to allow continuous use during utility outage. To facilitate easy installation, the HB51’s distribution box includes quick disconnect terminals, DC and battery disconnects, AC breakers, battery connectors and optional generator contractor. The HB51 supports a wide range of applications, including Peak shaving, AC coupled, Backup, TOU with or without feed-in, and Remote Communication.

Transphorm employs a cascode configuration with a depletion mode GaN (Fig. 8). This provides the ruggedness of a silicon gate, coupled with the improved voltage-blocking characteristics of a high-voltage GaN. There are no special requirements for the gate driver since the gate is connected to a standard silicon gate rated at ±20 V with a threshold around 2 V.
