Supply of Wind Energy Can it be Speculated?

Japan’s earthquake produced pandemic problems, especially when associated to the Fukushima nuclear power complex. On the other hand, Japan’s nearby wind farms were almost totally unaffected. It is an established fact that wind turbines does not always run on 100 percent, there are moments of intermittence. Yet, there are already clear that other sources of [...]

Organic Solar Cell Efficiency Can Be increased through the Plasmonic Effect – Tiny Gold Particles

Solar technology is considered to be in an infant stage. There is a various potential application of organic photovoltaic solar cells, but the state of the technology is still in a launch phase. These carbon-based cells made of organic polymers (or tiny molecules as semiconductors) are significantly smaller and cheaper in contrast to conventional solar [...]

Solar PV Technology Should Be a Key Player In UK’s Renewable Energy Roadmap

Green energy pioneer says solar PV is key technology Solar power is a strong source of renewable energy. UK seems to have excluded solar energy from the list of renewable source, or rather downgraded it as a source of demising oil and gas dependency. Recently, UK’s Renewable Energy roadmap was released. The government has set [...]
