INSPIRATION
Using renewable energy helps preserve the environment as it produces minimal to zero harmful emissions. The basic principle of using renewables is to extract it from a constant source in the environment, like the sun, the wind, or through geothermal sources. The next important factor is to convert the source into productive electricity or fuels. The range of technologies that cater to the different aspects of generating power or heat from renewables forms one of the biggest energy industry trends. This includes reducing costs for the manufacturing of renewables infrastructure and generating
power with higher rates of efficiency.
British startup Odqa develops CSP technology that utilizes an ultra-high temperature solar receiver that enables high-temperature industrial heating processes. The solution unlocks high-temperature power cycles, increases production, and expands the capacity of photovoltaic (PV) power plants. They also offer a novel system layout for CSP plants that reduces the costs of PV plants and improves overall system efficiency.
Echoenergia is a Brazilian startup that manufactures wind power generators with an operating capacity of 732 MW. The company develops a technology asset monitoring system called the Operations Control Center (OCC) to enable agile decision making and improve safety. Echoenergia generates renewable energy from several wind complexes and matches individual project capacity to local demand, thus avoiding network congestion and unnecessary energy losses.
