The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has released a new repeatable test protocol that simulates real shade conditions and can predict with much greater precision the effects of shade on a solar array. The new test demonstrated that under heavy shading conditions the use of microinverters instead of typical string inverters can help mitigate the impacts of shade by improving system performance by more than 12%.

A new approach to assessing greenhouse gas emissions from
coal, wind, solar, and other energy technologies paints a much more
precise
picture of cradle-to-grave emissions and should help sharpen decisions
on what
new energy projects to build.

Intended
to help cut red tape for business and startups wanting to do business
with the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s research laboratories, the new
Agreements for Commercializing Technology (ACT) program was recently
launched as a third alternative to the two preceding options: signing a
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) or a Work For
Others (WFO) Agreement.

By looking at the stability of the atmosphere, wind farm operators could gain greater insight into the amount of power generated at any given time. Power generated by a wind turbine largely depends on the wind speed. In a wind farm in which the turbines experience the same wind speeds but different shapes, such as turbulence, to the wind profile, a turbine will produce different amounts of power.
