Insurance premiums for renewable energy projects in Australia are expected to decrease this year despite natural catastrophe and extreme weather exposures remaining a major concern, particularly for large-scale solar asset owners and investors.
Researchers at the University of New South Wales have developed an AI-driven system aimed at accelerating the identification of two-dimensional semiconductor materials that can be used in solar cells.
The Chinese manufacturer said its lightweight Light Diamond TOPCon module delivers 560 W at 24.94% efficiency.
The country’s seventh green energy auction is set to procure rooftop, ground-mounted and floating solar projects across the Philippines, with increased allocation in Mindanao. The Department of Energy plans to release the auction’s terms of reference during the second quarter of this year.
Pacific Energy has been tapped by the Northern Territory government to deliver two large scale battery energy storage systems to support the Alice Springs and Darwin–Katherine power systems.
Alinta Energy has commenced main construction works on the first 1,000 MWh stage of a 500 MW / 2,000 MWh battery energy storage system planned for South Australia.
Solcast, a DNV company, reports that March in Australia was unusually wet and disrupted, with frequent tropical cyclones, polar air intrusions, and repeated low-pressure systems causing widespread cloud, storms, and record cold in the southeast. Solar irradiance was mixed: below average in the south due to persistent cloud and storms, but near or above average on some northern and coastal regions where breaks between systems allowed recovery.
Researchers have identified a new source of underperformance in utility-scale PV plants caused by “suboptimal backtracking” on slightly uneven terrain. The study shows that real tracker control systems deviate from ideal flat-terrain assumptions, reducing irradiance capture and causing measurable energy losses compared with simulations.
Australian battery storage developer Akaysha Energy makes a sizable move into Germany as it continues to grow its global energy storage system portfolio.
The New South Wales goverment has inked a seven year, $1.9 billion contract with federal government-owned Snowy Hydro retail arm Snowy Energy to power all public transport operations with renewable energy.
