Be the first person to recommend this.
National Defense Summary One of the Army’s modernization goals is to install a microgrid on each of its installations by 2035. Cummins, a longtime supplier of generators to the U.S. military, recently opened a microgrid testing laboratory that could help the Army reach its power goal. A microgrid is an energy system “made up of sources, loads, connections and controls” connected together, said Cummins lab manager Corey Bergendahl. Pulling energy from a variety of sources, a microgrid can function as part of the main power grid and maintain power if a grid goes down or can provide power to facilities or communities that are not connected to the main grid. ...

Be the first person to recommend this.
Energy Voice Summary Recent Rystad research shows the UK government is expected to spend more than $470 million on geothermal heating by the decade’s end. The UK has traditionally ignored geothermal as a handful of European nations took advantage of the energy source for heating with 20 megawatt thermal (MWt) of geothermal heating capacity today, however, that is expected to exceed 100 MWt in 2030. The uptake in geothermal heating is a trend across Europe as countries aim to find affordable alternatives to gas-fired heating. Geothermal usage is set to increase by 58% growing from today’s 3.9 gigawatt thermal (GWt) to over 6.2 GWt – this increase in development ...
