The new variation of DC architecture emerging for FTM projects involves a separate DC-DC converter tied to batteries. These new DC-coupled FTM systems typically have lower interconnection costs than AC-coupled systems, as they rely on only one single point of interconnection. Interconnection costs can influence capex for a project developer significantly. (Depending on the size of the system, interconnection costs can make up anywhere from 20 to 35 percent of the balance-of-systems cost stack.)

The report is a call to these groups to “come together and focus on both the need for cybersecurity standards at the distribution level, as well as a call for the collective stakeholders in the industry to look at standards on the manufacturers of these devices that are being integrated into our electric system,” Mroz said.

The irony that can’t be passed over is that the Emirates Stadium is named so because Emirates Airlines — a subsidiary of the Emirates Group, an arm of the Dubai government’s investment corporation — paid for the naming rights. (The airline also pays to have its logo on the front of Arsenal’s shirts.) Oil revenue fueled growth of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, but the vast majority of its revenue today doesn’t come from oil. Even a region built on oil revenue is looking to the future.

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.

“With the cost of renewable energy technology continuing to fall, there’s never been a better time to consider solar and battery storage for homeowners,” says Patrick Matweew, CEO, Redback Technologies.

We make our way back through to the Queensland Road lobby, passing by pictures of what I assume to be famous players. Clark breaks the silence.

By contrast, the Drexel and Trinity group’s method mixes silicon powder into a MXene solution to create a hybrid silicon-MXene anode. MXene nanosheets distribute randomly and form a continuous network while wrapping around the silicon particles, thus acting as conductive additive and binder at the same time. It’s the MXene framework that also imposes order on ions as they arrive and prevents the anode from expanding.

"A few hundred thousand cars in California is not that far off. And that is just Toyota," Stephens said. "This is not about subsidizing the entire growth of the infrastructure but just helping us get over the hump, and that is on the horizon. If we get to a few hundred thousand cars, we can really start to sunset government subsidies and be self-sustaining."

The drivers who will operate the electric trucks have had the opportunity to test-drive them prior to delivery, as part of the operator training. “The drivers were particularly impressed with the responsive driveline, delivering fast and seamless acceleration, and the low noise level,”

They weren’t. On Tuesday, the last Volt was built with little ceremony at a Detroit factory that’s now slated to close. Sales averaged less than 20,000 per year, not enough to sustain the costly undertaking.
