Currently the green-energy industries in both Germany and Canada have a globally recognised leadership role. In order to stay ahead of the field, closer ties between researchers may be a good idea. Fraunhofer and the the University of British Columbia are now trying joint scientific projects for the energy changeover.
It is unclear whether Berlin's new airport will open in 2013, 2014 or ever, but among the potential ruins an interesting renewable energy project might prevail. Five project partners combine photovoltaics, a wind farm and hydrogen technology to an environmentally sensible mobility solution.
In general, 'renewable energy' is about electricity. The reason is simple: Practically everything mankind has invented over the last century runs on electric power, even most of a modern car's systems, combustion engine or not. Since mankind has still not really mastered harnessing naturally occurring electricity like lightning, transforming mechanical, chemical or quantum-physical forms of energy into electricity is still the challenge – with the laws of thermodynamics as limiting factors. However, there's more to 'renewable' than wind or sun.
Three of the 13 sub-fairs of Hannover Messe 2011 focus on power generation - conventional and renewable. According to the organizer, »Wind« is the leading trade fair for Wind Generation Technology, Components and Services, »Energy« concentrates on Renewable and Conventional Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution, while »Power Plant Technology« is a show for Power Plant Design, Systems, Operation and Maintenance.
Cornell Dubilier has expanded its high-current power film capacitor series to include more than 120 different ratings with extended voltages up to 1300V DC and capacitance values up to
