‘Smart Grid' Pilot Project to be Launched by Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi claims it would invest $76 million by March 2012 in facilities in its domestic production centers to test how to stabilize power from fluctuating renewable energy sources. "The project will contribute to the company's efforts to support the adoption of sustainable power supplies worldwide," said the
Mitsubishi Electric also said it aims to market smart grid products and systems soon in Europe, India, Japan, China, Southeast Asia and North America. Smart grids are seen as key systems for both emerging and advanced nations to reduce or even cut their carbon emissions by improving renewable electricity systems' reliability, efficiency and security.
The Japanese giant said that it would build experimental facilities at its three Japanese production sites, which would be remotely monitored and connected by a wide-area communication network. These would include an electric vehicle charging station, a large rechargeable battery for transmission, a power system simulator and panels to collect solar energy.
First Solar Signs Agreements With Major Energy Utilities to Provide Solar Power
First Solar Inc. has recently announced that it will start working on a huge photovoltaic project called Desert Sunlight in Southern California.
<!--more--> The facility will produce 550MW from solar power, of which 300 MW will be sold to California's Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and 250 MW to Southern California Edison (SCE). The solar facility is expected to be up and running by 2013.
The 550 MW of solar power(toshiba battery) will be obtained using the company's thin-film photovoltaic modules made from cadmium telluride and will be able to power 160,000 homes. First Solar is not a beginner in PV power plants, as they recently finished the construction of the second largest PV power plant in the US, a 21-MW plant in Blythe which also provides power to SCE.
On the other hand, SCE continues its trend to increase renewable power production, and the company just signed a contract with SunPower Corporation for up to 200 MW of solar panels that will be installed over the rooftops of commercial buildings. PG&E has been in very close contact with Agua Caliente Solar, a subsidiary of NextLight Renewable Power, for 290 MW of PV power. The Agua Caliente project will be located in Yuma County, Arizona and is expected to be fully operational by 2014, even though production will start by mid 2012.
