Sandy solution for renewable energy storage | Energy Harvesting Journal

Sandy solution for renewable energy storage | Energy Harvesting Journal

SAND is emerging as a key ingredient in the race to develop a viable electricity storage system for renewable energies.   Latent Heat Storage  has developed a low cost thermal energy storage system based on the latent heat properties of silicon derived from sand.­   The device - known as TESS - is being developed in South Australia with the help of an AUD $400,000 government grant to take it from prototype to commercial reality.

Refrigerador sin energía eléctrica

NOW! SOLAR: New refrigerator cools food without electricity

amed WindChill, the new refrigerator prototype instead turns to the animal kingdom for inspiration, using biomimicry to imitate animals including bees, termites, coral, elephants, kangaroos and meerkats. And not only is the Windchill designed to preserve food without electricity, but it's also cheap and relatively portable, making it a potential windfall for people living in remote, rural areas.

Spain Approves 'Sun Tax,' Discriminates Against Solar PV - Renewable Energy World

Spain Approves 'Sun Tax,' Discriminates Against Solar PV

Until recently, Spain had a very general self-consumption policy framework that applied to both grid-connected and off-grid systems. This month though, Spain's Council of Ministers approved a new self-consumption law that has set the country's solar advocates up in arms with the government. 
The main problem with the new law, say solar advocates, is that it taxes self-consumption PV installations even for the electricity they produce for their own use and don’t feed into the grid. Spain's PV sector calls the new law a 'sun tax.’ 

Researchers Launch Energy Storage Field Test in Bavaria - Renewable Energy World

Researchers Launch Energy Storage Field Test in Bavaria - Renewable Energy World

The field test will be fully operational in December and will last for at least 10 years, according to Marcus Muller, manager for the project, which is called EEBatt, or decentral stationary battery storage for efficient use of renewable energy and support grid stability.
