    UK managed hosting provider Ultraspeed has announced the roll-out of a unique combination of technology designed to deliver a next generation hosting service with dramatically enhanced reliability and a reduction in power consumption estimated at 40%. To achieve this, the company is using an innovative blend of measures which includes the adoption of DC power, a 'diskless' server environment and the latest Intel Xeon 5300 low-voltage quad core processors.

  • The new center-right Spanish government decided to halt temporarily the award of new feed-in tariff contracts starting January 2013 amid rising fiscal challenges. This could affect negatively about 4,500 MW and 550 MW of wind and solar PV power projects respectively, as well as other energy classes’ projects.

wind electricity costs

shared by Hans De Keulenaer on 09 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • The cost of electricity is difficult to unpick. That is why EWEA developed an online tool that instantly calculates electricity costs, including any fuel and carbon risks, for gas, coal, nuclear, onshore and offshore wind. Users can type in their own assumptions on, for example, coal and gas prices, future carbon costs, capital costs and availability.

    The eternal debate n subsidies. This is a report on subsidies part of the government budget (though there are quite a few off-budget subsidies in energy as well). As usual, the report triggered a good old discussion on subsidizing renewables versus fossil, and on level playing fields.

  • Due to the prohibitive cost of storing electricity on a major scale, short-term power markets are relied on to balance generation and load on a 24/7 basis.  These markets typically take the form of a day-ahead market that provides a preliminary forecast of the next day’s power generation and consumption, and a real-time market, which is used to balance the actual generation to load.

This financial mechanism is in many ways uniquely positioned to reduce first-cost barriers in several building markets, some of which have traditionally been underserved by energy efficiency finance.

education electricity scavenging

  • Elizabeth developed the POWERleap as her senior thesis project at the University of Michigan's School of Art and Design. She wanted to design a project that would educate people about their relationship and dependence on energy. Human bodies generate electricity, about 100 watts at rest, which (according to www.elizabethredmond.net) is enough to power the computer I am writing on.
  • Hans De Keulenaer on 23 Sep 08
     
    A fraction of a small fraction will be small, but as an education project, it serves a similar role as CFL's for example. 100 Watt is heat produced at rest. Producing 100 W of electricity is quite a different thing and is not 'at rest' at all, although it is not a huge physical effort either.

ocean wave history

shared by Hans De Keulenaer on 23 Dec 08 - Cached
  • Proving once again that there is little new under the sun (or the waves) is this 1932 version of the wave power generators that we showed here and here. It works on the basis of an "inertia motor" where "When a wave starts to lift the hollow sphere, the massive weight inside, because of its inertia, resists the movement and exerts terrific pressure in the lower cylinder. Finally the inertia of the weight is overcome. Then it possesses momentum. When the sphere reaches the crest of a wave, the combined effort of the momentum and the recoil of the huge, semi-elliptic springs exerts an equal pressure in the upper cylinder. The tremendous pressure is applied to oil, which, in turn, operates a special turbine which runs a generator. The current is conducted to the shore by submarine cable."
