Cutting-Edge Microgrid Technology
The other day I had the good fortune to run into Charles Wells, CTO of Pxise (pronounced “pice”), whose breakthrough micro-grid technology has the potential to effect huge changes in the provision of electrical energy around the globe.
Africa Looks at its Energy Future
Here’s an article that provides a fairly comprehensive look at Africa as an energy hub of oil and gas production. Strangely, it doesn’t contain a single mention of renewables. Why is that strange? Simply because of:
Microgrids Here and Yonder
A microgrid is a regional network of energy generation assets, especially renewables, combined with local distribution, energy storage, demand response and electric vehicles to provide better resilience to reduce dependence on fossil fuel plants, eliminate expensive power transmission lines, and improve …
