Wind energy is one of the fastest-growing energy sources in the world and is poised to play a key role in mitigating global climate change and future energy provision. Of the renewable energy technologies, wind energy ranks second only to hydroelectric power in terms of installed capacity, globally. The global wind power market has achieved excepti...

The widespread deployment of batteries in power systems and transportation applications is expected to face challenges related to the raw material supply chain and the environmental impact of the materials. Current energy storage systems are expensive and difficult to scale, mainly due to the cost and performance of the battery chemistry. The cutt...

The architecture of the global energy market is changing. The market model is transforming from highly centralized power distribution into decentralized, distributed energy management enabled by intelligent software and new approaches to data management. Three trends—digitalization, decentralization, and decarbonization—are steering the transformat...

Steel, an alloy of two metals – iron and carbon – is extensively used in the energy industry. Steel meets many demanding applications in the energy sector as well, supplying the industry with high performance steel for various applications. In power generation and distribution, steel is used in transformers, generators and electric motors. In nucle...

The global market for solar services is forecast to increase from $8.13 billion in 2017 to $14.48 billion by 2025, driven by an aging asset base, as well as new installations. Solar growth remains strong across most regions, although the market has declined in China, due to change in regulations, which will mean lower installations in 2018 than in ...

The demand for data transfer and storage has significantly increased over the past few years and is expected to continue to do so till 2022, driving data center expansion and investment. Escalating Internet and mobile data traffic has led to data growth; global Internet IP traffic is likely to rise from 6.8 ZB (zettabyte) in 2016 to 24.6 ZB by the ...

Offshore wind energy is crossing the period where it requires massive subsidies and governmental support to achieve economic feasibility to a mature and market-driven industry. With other forms of renewable energy available that are cheaper, there is a need to bring down the cost of offshore power generation further. In order to reduce the levelize...

As we enter the next era of digitization, we are amidst a silent revolution that will change the location from where we process data as well as the speed in which we do that—the reasons being Edge Computing and 5G. The term edge refers to the edge of a network, i.e., close to the data/information source and edge computing means processing data clos...

There is rising demand for innovative, efficient and cleaner power generation technologies. Electrochemical energy technologies such as supercapacitors , batteries and fuel cells have gained a significant interest in last decades and are considered important to enable alternative power sources. Fuel cells are one of the most promising energy gener...
