Independent renewable energy producer Neoen has won its fourth ACT Government contract, which will see it supply 100MW to the state for 14 years.

The IoT-enabled Ping Monitor uses complex algorithms to monitor the acoustic signature of wind turbine blades to detect damage.

A roadmap is also being developed for the Alice Springs electricity grid to operate with 50 per cent renewables by the year 2030.

One solution is to rethink the orientation of rooftop solar panels to match production to patterns of consumption.

The government will also invest $4 million towards transforming up to 10 schools into smart, green Virtual Power Plants.

The study will survey grid stability issues and technologies to manage them such as synchronous condensers.

The report’s author, Professor Jeremy Moss, said Australia’s exported fossil fuels are now greater than Germany’s domestic emissions.

The renewable energy industry, which currently employs over 25,000 workers, could generate 44,000 jobs by 2025.

IKEA has been investing in renewable energy in its operations for over a decade, and now has more than 900,000 solar panels globally, and close to 20,000 locally.

The app securely connects to the inverter’s access point to display both basic and advanced inverter status views.

Accelerating this transition could deliver more than half a billion dollars for the construction industry over the next decade, while creating 7,000 jobs and saving Australians $600 million on their energy bills.

The IFM Investors’ FY 2019 Australian Infrastructure Carbon Footprint Summary report, released today, shows a reduction across the firms Australian Infrastructure portfolio of 7.9% in the 2018/19 financial year.

Solar windows tinted to the same degree as current glazed commercial windows would generate about 140 watts of electricity per square metre. The first application is likely to be in multistorey buildings.

The report finds that new electricity generation from renewables is now cheaper than new fossil fuel generation, even when accounting for hours of storage. In fact, battery storage costs are 80 per cent cheaper than in 2010.

A decision on Victoria's first interim targets to cut emissions across the whole economy is due to be delivered by March 31, 2020.

The heat generated from the PV Ultra is used to charge the hot reservoir, whilst the cold reservoir is cooled using an electric chiller supplied with electricity from PV Ultra and the grid.
