Although well known for its oil and gas industry, Texas is now turning away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources. Taft in San Patricio County is one city where wind energy has provided new opportunities and given locals hope for a better future.

As governments recognize the need to move to a greener, cleaner environment, they are providing the funding and research needed. Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are key components of any green strategy, as they allow connection of renewable energy sources into electricity grids. This article looks at some major BESS initiatives worldwide.

Wind and solar power are bringing about a clean energy revolution. Here is everything that you need to know about the different renewable energy sources, the advantages and challenges of renewable energy, plus a look to the future.

PowerField will install batteries for the storage of solar energy. These batteries will be installed at Dutch solar parks in Valthermond and Wanneperveen and are PowerField’s first projects where solar energy is combined with energy storage. With 52 MWh, the battery in Wanneperveen will be one of the largest batteries in the Netherlands.

Following the Paris Agreement (in 2016) countries in the Americas have set ambitious targets for the deployment of renewable energy. Over the years it has been observed that the use of renewable energy has increased in the region which has created need for the upgradation of the electricity grid infrastructure. Renewable energy is an intermittent source of energy and Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices are being deployed in the region to provide required support to the electricity grid.

The year ahead promises valuable new growth paths for the renewable energy industry as concern for climate change grows. With this in mind, here’s a look at 10 of the world’s largest renewable energy projects.

It’s safe to say that a lot has gone on between the start of the chip shortage and the present day. But why is there a chip shortage in the first place? This article explains the causes of the chip shortage and shows the most important developments to date. This is followed by a short outlook.

In Q4 2024, the semiconductor industry faced challenges such as natural disasters, geopolitical instability, and delays in fab construction, which highlighted ongoing vulnerabilities in the supply chain.

In 2023, aluminum nitride was all over the internet, with netizens and tech enthusiasts calling it a “holy grail” of semiconductors. But where does it stand today? Is aluminum nitride a semiconductor only in papers? Find the truth about aluminum nitride and its status in 2025.

In the future, charging stations along freeways, in parking lots or at logistics centers will have to deliver much more power in a short space of time than they do today. For this reason, new charging stations can no longer simply be connected to the low voltage power grid.
