On May 28, in Jimusar County, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang, the Jimusar 200,000 kW/1 million kW-hour all-vanadium liquid flow new energy storage project was connected to the grid for power generation. Among them, the energy storage time of the new energy storage power station reached 5 hours, which is the longest liquid flow new energy storage power station in Xinjiang. It can store up t...
Traditionally, solar panels face the sun at an angle, maximizing direct exposure. However, mounting photovoltaic modules vertically – standing upright like fences or walls – presents unique advantages, particularly when using bifacial technology, and signals an intriguing evolution in solar deployment. The most compelling benefit lies in bifacial vertical panels capturing sunlig...
The addition of solar panels to existing wind and hydroelectric plants in Turkey could help sidestep growing grid capacity issues, and add 8GW of new capacity to the country’s energy mix. This is according to the latest report from Ember Climate, which found that there is significant potential for hybrid renewable energy projects to improve the country’s domestic electricity gen...
The French National Assembly recently rejected a proposal to suspend the development of large solar and wind power projects. According to the latest voting results on June 19, the amendment proposed by the right-wing party "National Rally" was finally not passed with 377 votes against and 142 votes in favor, ending the policy uncertainty that lasted for nearly a week. The proposal, called t...
With the fermentation of the "power bank recall incident", the battery safety issue has once again been pushed to the forefront. Recently, due to the battery safety issues of power banks, the Civil Aviation Administration issued a notice prohibiting passengers from carrying power banks without 3C logos, unclear 3C logos, recalled models or batches on domestic flights. Due to the frequent occurrenc...
In 1771, Arkwright opened the first water-powered spinning mill in Manchester, marking the beginning of modern factories. At this time, it was more than 100 years before the world's first power station was built, and water power became the energy supply for the earliest factories. A hundred years later, in 1896, the world's first industrial park was launched in the UK. It might be difficult for cr...
Josh Cornes, market research analyst at Solar Media, tracked UK solar installations in the first half of 2025 and found that the growth in installed capacity over the past six months was almost the same as for the whole of 2024. In 2025, the UK's solar installed capacity has exceeded 2GWp, ushering in the best start in nearly a decade, and there are 3.GWp of large-scale ground-mounted photo...
Recently, the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) Yangbajing 50MW Solar-to-Storage Project in Dangxiong County, Tibet, and the SPIC Dangxiong 50MW Solar-to-Storage Project in Dangxiong County, Tibet (collectively, the "Dangxiong Phase I and II Projects"), for which the Guiyang Institute of Energy Engineering and Research (GIERE) was responsible for the EPC general contracting, were successfu...
