💡Co-located renewable energy projects (assets that include wind turbines, solar panels, and/or battery storage systems) are by far the fastest growing renewable project in the United States, but with risk mitigation being heavily focused on battery storage fires, fire risk in wind and solar assets are overlooked. To learn more, check out our latest blog below, as we discuss highlights from our most recent report "Double Indemnity: How to tackle fire risk at co-located renewables projects"! #Firetrace #FiretraceInternational #FireSafety #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Wind #Solar #EnergyStorage https://bit.ly/3VVzKZC

"The CIS is a federal initiative designed to underpin the deployment of dispatchable renewable energy and storage capacity across Australia, offsetting any reliability gaps as the country transitions from fossil-fuel based to clean energy. It underpins delivery of the critically important federal renewable energy target of 82% by 2030 and drive energy prices down sustainably and permanently. Importantly, the CIS explicitly excludes methane gas peaking power plants. Nine gigawatts of the 32GW planned tenders announced today will be dispatchable capacity, supporting an excellent value-for-money ‘contracts for difference’ scheme based on six-monthly tenders over the next 4 years will underwrite 23GW of variable renewable energy (VRE), i.e. wind and solar."

The road to renewables is a challenging one. While it may seem relatively simple to place solar panels on your home, solar energy on the generation level is much more complex. Discover details on Platte River's addition of nearly one million megawatt-hours of renewable energy since 2018 and the unique challenges that arise with such an accelerated energy transition goal. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g3tsmg4z

To the best of my knowledge, this is a first: an energy storage system co-located with a offshore wind park. Solar parks with extra energy storage devices are becoming very popular in areas with a lot of sun and high solar energy penetration (California, Australia). These energy storage devices (usually big batteries) help mitigate the intermittency of renewable energy (solar,wind) and offset energy from times of peak production and low demand to times of peak demand and low production. It also provides an extra source of revenue for energy producers: they can store energy when prices are low and sell it when prices are high (a sort of energy 'arbitrage'). #energystorage #energytransition #energiewende #renewableenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sgre #siemens #siemensgamesa #siemensenergy #orsted https://lnkd.in/eqf2GChP

The largest state in the U.S., California, achieved a milestone by fulfilling 100% of its #Energy demand from wind, water and #Solar for at least part of a day. For the past 52 days, California has generated 61% of the state’s #Electricity demand from these renewable #Energy resources. During that stretch, 44 days saw renewable energy sources meet or exceed 100% of state demand for at least 15 minutes. How can the state achieve its goal of relying exclusively on renewables by 2024?

The Challenge of Balancing Renewables in Power Generation Countries worldwide are increasingly incorporating renewable energy sources into their power grids to reduce carbon emissions (decarbonize) their electricity generation. However, these sources, such as solar and wind power, are intermittent by nature, meaning their output can fluctuate significantly. To guarantee a stable and cost-effective energy supply, a flexible power generation system is crucial. Here, explore four methods to incentivize and procure the flexible generation needed to effectively balance renewables in the grid. #RenewableEnergy #PowerGeneration #Sustainability #GridMaintenance #Finland

"By 2050, renewable energy sources, including hydro in addition to solar and wind, are expected to constitute a staggering 70% of the Middle East's power generation mix." This isn't necessarily surprising given how much work countries throughout the Middle East have been putting into energy expansion. I will say, though, that it's exciting to see how countries are emphasizing more than just one kind of renewable energy source. Diversification is key with these kinds of large-scale projects, and I'm glad that there's a real focus on hydro, solar, AND wind power. #MiddleEast #EnergyExpansion #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #WindPower

Ireland's wind farms provided 34 per cent of our electricity in the first half of 2024⚡ The latest figures show that wind power generation in June 2024 was the third highest on record for a June month (771 GWh) and it was really positive to see the strong performance of solar energy last month as part of our renewable energy mix 🍃🌄 Every time a wind turbine or solar panel is generating electricity it is reducing our reliance on imported fossil fuels, helping to push down wholesale electricity prices and increasing our supply of clean energy to our local communities. Read our monthly #WindEnergy report at the link below: https://lnkd.in/eUy4QtFc
