🔧 How did he size one of the biggest solar outfitters in Quebec? ☀️ La Pourvoirie la Doré is one of the largest solar-powered outfitters in Quebec. ⚡ Keven Ouellet from Konergie was responsible for sizing and installing this massive off-grid solar project. 🎥 Dive into this new video format called "Technical Capsule" and discover how Keven managed the entire project—from assessing his client's consumption needs, selecting products like Opsun, Sol-Ark, Énergie Volthium inc, and BAUER SOLAR GmbH to installation and use. 👇 Watch the full episode in the comments.

In a new paper written by S.C. Lenny Koh and Moein Shamoushaki, a comparative prospective life cycle assessment of three renewable-based power plants is presented: combined geothermal and wind; combined geothermal and solar; and combined wind and solar. The paper has a particular focus on perovskite solar cell (PSC) technology, considering PSC in an integrated power plant. The work finds that rising PSC lifetime reduced the environmental impact and that climate change and ozone depletion in wind and solar cases are lower than in others.

🌍 We’re back with weekly articles on GHEtool! One of our big goals for 2025 is to deliver 52 insightful articles to help you boost your geothermal knowledge. That's right—every week, a new article! Let’s kick off the year with a must-read on hybrid systems. 🔍 What’s this week about? We’re starting a short 3–4 part series on the design of hybrid systems. For larger projects, hybrid systems can enhance both the feasibility and robustness of geothermal solutions. But what are hybrid systems, exactly? And how do they relate to the concept of geothermal potential? Dive into the details here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKVHFRhi 🎥 Prefer watching instead of reading? We’ve got you covered! Check out the video: 👉 https://lnkd.in/etc4YUbr ⚡ What’s next? Next week, we’ll delve deeper into design methodologies for hybrid systems. Stay tuned for Part 2!

By improving solar cells with advanced light management, the project could have a major impact on how we produce and use clean energy. As Professor Manuel João Mendes explained: "This project shows that we can theoretically achieve much higher efficiencies with the new solar cells we are developing." 🎧 Listen to the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/d-PNQFYH

EFLA will participate in the Icelandic Geothermal Conference 2024 in Harpa on the 26th -30th of May. In the session on Food Security we will present among others our work on LCA and carbon footprint for geothermal energy and food products. If you are interested in the environmental impacts from a Life Cycle Perspective for geothermal energy, have a look at our paper on LCA and carbon footprint for the latest geothermal installation in Iceland, published in Geothermics, 2022. https://lnkd.in/dxuqC9bK

We have signed an LOI with Exergy ORC to repower our geothermal power plant Kópsvatn. This is a milestone for us to advance innovation in small-scale binary combined heat and power plants, aiming to unlock the full potential of Iceland's geothermal resources. Exergy has demonstrated their ability to provide reliable ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) units for us to upgrade our small-scale plants in Iceland from pilot projects to full operational, long-term facilities. The picture shows Luca Pozzoni, Deputy CEO of Exergy International, and Marta Rós Karlsdóttir, Managing Director of Baseload Power Iceland.

I sometimes struggle to explain my work and the impact it has on communities, so I'm pleased to share the new State, Local, and Tribal Program FY24 highlights report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Learn more about the work I'm privileged to be a part of and how NREL supported more than 500 U.S. communities to develop efficient, affordable, and resilient energy systems. https://lnkd.in/g-TYp325

Get ready for another thrilling episode of the "Sun Out, Power On" series! 🌞 Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of solar panels—what they are, how they work, and why they’re the future of energy. This enlightening series is proudly powered by LPV Technologies , bringing you the brightest insights on solar technology. Stay tuned and let's illuminate your understanding!

Excited to share that my first paper of my PhD, "Establishing best practices for modeling multi-day energy storage in deeply decarbonized energy systems," has just been published in Environmental Research: Energy. You can check out this open-source article here: https://lnkd.in/eiXu5BWr Long-duration energy storage technologies, and in particular those capable of addressing multi-day shortages of renewable energy, are notoriously hard to represent in energy systems models. In the study, we research the best ways to tackle this issue, and also consolidate the findings into recommendations for energy systems modelers. We also highlight that a lack of proper representation of these technologies can lead to unrealistically high projected costs of full power sector decarbonization. Huge shout-out to my co-authors Wilson Ricks, Aneesha Manocha, Neha Patankar, Ph.D., Dharik Mallapragada, and Jesse Jenkins for their help and support.
