by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 16, 2026 Researchers have developed a feature selection-based solar irradiance forecasting method to improve the operation of stand-alone photovoltaic systems. The approach uses a bidirectional long short-term memory hybrid network to forecast solar irradiance and then applies the forecasted data to estimate the optimum tilt angle of […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 16, 2026 Researchers have proposed an improved energy management system for a stand-alone hybrid photovoltaic and proton exchange membrane fuel cell microgrid, aiming to maintain DC-link stability while reducing converter count, battery stress, and hydrogen use. The system integrates photovoltaic generation, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell, and […]
by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 30, 2026 In a world facing rising pressure to deliver both reliable food supplies and clean energy, scientists are exploring agrivoltaics as a way to combine solar power with crop production on the same land. A new modeling study led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign examines […]
by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 30, 2026 Redwire Corporation has introduced a new high-performance, low-mass solar array product, the Extensible Low-Profile Solar Array, or ELSA, targeting mass-manufactured satellites that need standardized, modular power solutions for on-orbit operations. The company said ELSA is designed to serve government and commercial customers that are ramping […]
by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 30, 2026 A new study has demonstrated that artificial intelligence can design color-tunable solar windows that maintain, and even enhance, their power output compared to conventional transparent solar cells. The work focuses on semitransparent perovskite photovoltaics, a promising technology for building-integrated applications where windows and other surfaces […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 30. 2026 As demand for renewable energy grows worldwide, engineers continue to wrestle with how to harvest the full solar spectrum efficiently using different conversion technologies in a single system. Photovoltaic cells operate best at relatively low temperatures, while photothermal and thermophotovoltaic systems require high temperatures, creating a […]
