Nanoparticles, phase-change materials in PVT systems

A team of scientists has used paraffin wax integrated with aluminum oxide and zinc oxide to improve the electrical and thermal performance of a photovoltaic-thermal system. They have also developed a prediction model for this specific combination of hybrid nano-phase change materials.

PV near railway tracks is technically feasible, researchers claim

Despite soiling and mechanical stress, PV deployed between or close to rail tracks is not just a crazy idea, states an Australian-Bangladeshi research group. The scientists conducted a techno-economic analysis on a 128 kW demonstrator and found it may achieve a levelised cost of energy of only USD 0.052/kWh ($0.080/kWh).

Longi signs 1 GW of orders in Bangladesh

Longi Solar has secured about 1 GW of new PV module supply orders in Bangladesh.

India to finance 100 MW Bangladeshi solar plant

The federal government will provide $131 million of soft loans for a $177 million, 100 MW solar park near the Jamuna river in Bangladesh’s Jamalpur district, where a second park of a similar size is being planned by Dhaka and a Chinese partner.

Location-dependent performance model for bifacial installations

Bifacial PV modules and single-axis trackers go well together, but a global research team has now noted that a comprehensive location-dependent performance analysis still has yet to be done. Their findings could help to determine the right plant setups in different locations throughout the world.

Japanese owner of WA’s Bluewaters coal plant reports worst ever loss in face of energy transition

The Sumitomo Corporation has reported a stunning ¥26bn (US$251m) loss on its Western Australian Bluewaters coal fired power investment. The loss assures the company’s worst ever annual performance and comes as a result of international and financial pressure against coal funding.
