As of 2011, the state capital of Sacramento, California, will be more than 50 million users (including households and businesses) to install smart meters. The project aims to encourage consumers to control through the use of high-tech equipment, energy consumption, while improving the efficiency of public electricity transmission facilities.

Sacramento can be described as the U.S. federal economic stimulus package for smart grid investment in billions of dollars in successful cases. U.S. economic recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for a total of 100 public utility districts allocated 3.4 billion smart grid, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) is one of them. Sacramento Municipal Utility District will receive 128 million U.S. dollars of its funds invested in installing smart meters, setting of the floating price, building electric car charging stations and home energy management system, a great success.

Sacramento investment to accelerate the transformation of the local power industry, which is over 50 years in the area of power supply to the first change. Smart grid is commonly used to read user remote digital meter case energy consumption, this instrument can also be used to start or shut down electricity service. Daily power usage measurement instrument, rather than the traditional monthly measurements. Smart Grid can also use more energy efficient way to supply the infrastructure.

Sacramento Municipal Utility District is expected in February 2011 before the installation of 600,000 smart meters. Installation of smart meters as the United States more and more connected with IT equipment, these meters also developed rapidly. For example, the public can add new devices by remote control air conditioners, refrigerators or other appliances. U.S. economic recovery and re-invest the funding bill would also help Sacramento, inventing new tools to help the region to make better use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy.

While Sacramento has plans to deploy smart meters earlier, but without the billions of dollars of funding, the plan must be developed slowly. On the one hand, capital investment accelerated De Sacramento Utility District and other beneficiaries Diqu smart grid development; Dan on the other hand, Cijijijin subsidized in the Shi Xiang Mu bring other benefits in addition Nengfou is still unknown.

At present, the popularity of smart grid faster than smart meters. Many people believe that power should be more intelligent use of renewable energy, constantly updating their systems for the transmission of electricity infrastructure, and enable the public to track their electricity consumption. Monitoring of energy use allows users to save energy and find ways to save water and electricity, but also reduces the pressure on the grid. Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s business district in the portal user can check the website daily electricity consumption, but also to test the effectiveness of various home technology, in order to obtain more specific data. Such funding portal is another outcome of stimulating the economy. U.S. economic recovery and Reinvestment Act, financial support from Sacramento, the development of user-friendly equipment, so that every family access to their electricity consumption.

Bill Slaton, Sacramento Municipal Utility District is a member of the board, he thinks there is a market for smart meters, smart meters will allow the residents to the remote control home appliances through the network power consumption. However, even this technology can be achieved now, but still beyond the scope of the general consumer acceptance.

Slaton said: “The current situation has not reached this step - you into the ‘Home Depot’ (U.S. domestic chains), there are seven different functions of smart meters. You buy a home, the placement of it can be used the. smart meters have not been large-scale popular, it still belongs to high-tech products. I am a technology enthusiast, my home is intelligent. I have mastered the use of smart home appliances, and I can control with the iPhone family of energy consumption - but, I’m just an exception, the general public is not like me. “Slaton believes that expanding the deployment of smart grid smart meters can stimulate the development of the market.

Like renewable energy, like in the importance of smart grid, power facilities also need to be able to carry out a number of decentralized electrical energy integration of key technologies. Renewable energy conversion efficiency lower, so we can see, California’s suburbs over the large and small solar panels. Slaton said the Sacramento Utility District intends to buy the solar panels produce excess power, but need to find a way to collect and measure the power. New Technology to Bridging the stability of renewable energy to play a Chongyaozuoyong Bu - for example, when Yudao cloudy Taiyang Neng Battery Ban Bunengfadian O’clock, Bian immediately to You Beiyong generators.

26, by the Taiwan “Ministry of Economic Affairs Industrial Development Bureau,” contributed to the institute the new green energy promotion of “integration of the photovoltaic industry to promote innovation alliance” has been established, it is known to promote the integration of the photovoltaic industry alliance composed of innovative architecture will be integrated “BIPV integration of the League”, “CIGS Industry Alliance”, “Si Solar Cell Industry Alliance”, “DSSC (dye sensitized solar cells) industrial integration of the League” and other industry alliance to construct the PV industry innovation and integration platform, to improve Taiwan’s industrial competitiveness.

It is understood that the Union is mainly taking into account the PV industry is still growing in the vertical integration on the space, in particular, integration of solar systems was a shortfall of energy, looking forward to further integration of the Association set up four major alliances in order to enhance Taiwan’s industrial competitiveness in the international market power, look forward to using industry alliance platform Lai to help provide solar photovoltaic industry development of need , mainly in the development of Guan Jian processes, equipment, materials, components and Xin Ying Yong product technologies to establish Channeng cooperation, strategic alliances, global market Buju such cooperation platform.

Electric cars are the focus of the world’s future cars, but the manufacturing costs are high, life is shorter distance, the charge has become inconvenient constraints.

Recently, Hubei, China through new energy technology Co., Ltd., Castle Peak in electric batteries is expected to make a breakthrough in the development of electric vehicles into the Chinese fast-track.

Automobile market is good, but they have a working knowledge of the old scenery. New energy vehicles, and not like the car companies as propaganda, “Flaming Red Sunrise”, but rather “only heard, no one is there.” Makes quite impressed in: Environmental models are far from us in the end?

“In the past, there is the battery capacity of a small technical problem, so continued driving a short distance is the biggest technical challenges, at home and abroad has been available in pure electric passenger car continued driving range on one charge a maximum of 300 km, while the large group and Castle Peak Energy Research Institute in the development of the Chinese University of Castle Peak electric driving range of passenger cars in key indicators such as achieving a breakthrough, on a charge driving range of 500 kilometers, a distance of 700 miles. “Recently, in the era of automotive journalists to accept interview, Hubei, China through new energy technology Co., Ltd., Castle Peak, chairman Shi Jun for the media showed its electric car the latest technological achievements.

Shi Jun told reporters, Castle Peak mileage on the car battery life, the technical breakthrough, thanks to the company after 20 years of research, developed with independent intellectual property rights of pure electric vehicles, its three core technology is hanging by a pair of composite rotor stator flux DC motor, vanadium iron phosphate lithium-ion battery and control and energy recovery system structure. One energy efficient electric cars, specialized multi-element electric vehicle batteries, battery charge and discharge device also received a national utility model patent.

“The current car battery is fully charged, fast charging in 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete, while the slow charge requires more than 4 hours, charging speed directly determines the battery life. Such as city buses can be slow night charge, day use , battery life can reach 500,000 km, that’s enough to run four-year urban public transport. In addition, the battery in efforts to reduce weight from 500 kg to 350 kg, one reduces the cost of the battery, the second is to reduce the whole vehicle weight. “Shi Jun said that as a manufacturer of electric vehicle powertrain (battery, motor, electric control)-based car manufacturer. Hubei country through new energy technology Co., Ltd., Castle Peak in the government support this year has been in operation for three production lines, annual output of 3,000 sets of powertrain and annual sales of 2 billion yuan, profits and taxes reached 500 million yuan; and plans completed within 3 years 100 000 sets of production scale, has become the largest electric vehicle powertrain production base for domestic and foreign car manufacturers strong support services.

At present the country through joint-ventures include Castle Peak Dongfeng, Zhongshan University, Jinling and other bus companies, list of enterprises from the cooperation is not difficult to see the Castle Peak will focus on R & D focus to the “City Bus” The market segment. From the “bus” started the “electric” of no doubt to reduce urban energy burden, the burden of pollution play a crucial role. If the solar energy hypothetical city sufficient to “set during the day to night, keep a car” approach, then our city will bring much to improve the environment?

New energy vehicles for the promotion of universal, government departments embarked on a number of initiatives. In 2010, China’s new energy auto purchase subsidies, the state of pure electric vehicles reached 60,000 yuan subsidy standards, we all know, electric cars cheaper than traditional fuel vehicles generally higher than the price of ten thousand high-cost mainly due to the high price of lithium batteries. Therefore, the state-subsidized auto manufacturers, such as the battery was disguised subsidies to producers. In addition, following Shanghai, Tianjin and Shenzhen and other cities building electric car charging stations pilot, Beijing and other 27 cities have begun planning to build electric car charging stations. Government efforts of enterprises under the car, the electric car from the distance we have been getting closer.

“The next 1-2 years, the country through the production of batteries, Castle Peak, or the main company, and strive to cooperate with more vehicle. The certainty that the future is to enter the vehicle market. Because we already have a production electric car basic conditions. There are many enterprises and we would like to discuss the cooperation, if there are suitable De Ji Hui, we will Kaolvchongzu cooperation. “Aoyama Zhihou for Guo Tong will be on corporate Gongzuofangxiang Hai Shi Yi Sheng Chan would like a car battery-based BYD With the same battery technology into the vehicle market, Shi Jun said: Enterprises should be walking on two legs. The only way to stabilize, go faster. Others have been based on the further innovation and development, is a shortcut to success.

According to foreign media reports, the U.S. navigation device maker Garmin has announced that production for fear that some third-party vendors batteries may overheat and cause a fire, the company will recall 1.25 million personal navigation devices.

Garmin navigation devices recall involves five models. Garmin said the recalled models are the Garmin Nuvi 200W, 250W, 260W, 7xx and 7xxT, to determine whether the products were recalled.

As the circuit board design, the equipment in a certain environment, a substantial increase in the risk of overheating. Garmin sold in the United States about 796,000 related equipment.

Garmin said, there are less than 10 navigation equipment overheating problem. Incident did not lead to damage to persons, and no large property losses.

Garmin that the battery manufacturers will bear the cost of the recall. Garmin expects to recall the incident would not affect the performance of the company.

Garmin also faces from the free map application and smart phones like the Netherlands, TomTom NV and other companies compete. Although the revenue and orders growth but affected by exchange rate Garmin second-quarter profit fell 17%.

In the 240th Session of the American Chemical Society national meeting, researchers 丹尼尔诺瑟 Jura said, he led the research team discovered a new type of catalyst, the electrolysis of water can produce 200 times the efficiency of oxygen, helps people develop a personalized power systems, so that families achieve self-sufficiency in electricity supply.

Personalized power systems include installed solar panels in the roof and on the floor of the electrolyzer. Solar panels for heating, cooking, lighting and electric vehicle charging power to provide electricity daily, while the electrolytic cell while the remaining use of solar energy to ordinary water into hydrogen and oxygen, then there are different cylinders in the sub- . At night or rainy days when the solar panel to stop working, gas cylinders stored hydrogen and oxygen fuel cell can produce electricity supply to ensure uninterrupted power supply system to meet the families of all electricity demand.

Nuo Sela said: “Our goal is to enable every family has its own power station. We are trying to develop the personal power generation system that can inexpensively produce, transport and installation.” However, he also believes that to achieve this goal, it needs to overcome certain obstacles, such as the improvement of existing fuel cells and solar cells. He believed that people can look forward to the near future, a village in India and Africa, the villagers have the ability to buy basic self-sufficiency in power generation systems.

Nuo Sela said that their work is to examine how high the water in the electrolyzer into hydrogen and oxygen. The past, people found a highly efficient catalyst for hydrogen production, but this time they developed the oxygen generating catalyst. The new low-cost catalysts, longer life, efficiency has increased 200 times, can replace the expensive platinum catalyst, thus eliminating the catalyst for the production of potentially harmful chemicals.

It is learned, Sun Catalytix has received the new oxygen catalyst in the manufacture of power products, the company over the next two years to produce for home and small business use of the safe and efficient electrolyzer.

At present the development of new energy sources, has become a major trend in the world. Vietnam to follow international trends, the development of solar, wind and other new energy sources. However, capital and technology into Vietnam, the two major bottlenecks in the development of new energy sources. Hindered the development of new energy in Vietnam, now the development of new energy in Vietnam is only experimental, from industrialization and commercialization of how far it?

In the past five years, the Vietnamese Government has invested in the construction in the northeast of solar power generation system 100 families, 200 domestic system, the first river in the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh province and the establishment of 400 solar home systems. However, solar and other new energy power generation accounts for the proportion of total electricity generation in Vietnam is negligible, mainly because of domestic and foreign investors are not keen on new energy projects.

Vietnam domestic production of high quality solar PV modules, if imported equipment from abroad, high cost, lack of market competitiveness, the Government has no practical incentives. A senior reporter in Vietnam, said Vietnamese Government is to encourage new energy development, but only encourage it, and no real incentives for new energy investors can not get credit support from banks. Therefore, the lack of effective implementation of policies on renewable energy projects in Vietnam is the main obstacle.

Vietnam in 2010 to make renewable energy amounted to 3% of the total generating capacity, this, early in 2008 to invest 10 million U.S. dollars in Vietnam, in Ho Chi Minh City of Vietnam’s energy Zhongxin building the first of a solar panel manufacturing plant imported from Germany and France solar cells, solar panels assembled in China, the ultimate goal is the ability to self-produce solar cells and solar panels to improve the capacity of assembly.

In 2008, the Vietnamese government also launched a program to promote public participation in use of solar energy in the 5-year national plan, I hope 2013 will be 30 000 180 liters capacity solar water heater market. But reporters have learned from the situation, solar water heater has not been universal. Many cities in China solar water heater on the roof of different scenes can be seen everywhere in Vietnam, reporters have not seen a solar water heater. Arrived in Vietnam, reporters thought the drums on every roof is solar water heaters in Vietnam, and later learned that the Vietnamese residents of those drums is the second water supply, not water heaters. As high gas costs, the most popular in Vietnam is still water heater electric water heater.

Viet Nam Energy Association, said recently that the development of new energy and renewable energy as its 2010 to 2015 eight central tasks. Continue to assist the development of electricity, coal, gas and other traditional energy sources at the same time, the Association will vigorously promote wind power, solar, geothermal and biomass energy and other new energy and renewable energy development, and with the Vietnamese government departments to carry out solar and wind power pilot projects.

Some Vietnamese NGO organizations dedicated to the promotion of renewable energy. Several journalists attended the conclusion of the Vietnamese NGO Conference, many NGO will determine this year’s mission to promote biogas in rural areas in Vietnam. Vietnam is located in tropical, subtropical, winter, apart from individual other than the high altitude, almost frozen on, very suitable for the development of biogas. However, rural areas in Vietnam, reporters saw the majority of farmers are still using firewood and coal for cooking and heating.

Spray paint to the window, and then turn it into a solar panel? The idea sounds crazy, but has really become a reality. Norwegian companies have already applied for a patent Ensol, spray the window in normal layer of special film for solar energy collection.

The principle of this new invention is very simple, “film containing metal particles, the sun light shines on the window after absorption of nano-particles, and then assembled and converted to electrical energy.” Nanotechnology, the University of Leicester, Professor Chris Binns explained. EnSol Corporation and University of Leicester Department of Astronomy of the technology is accelerating and will officially enter the 2016 consumption. If this becomes reality, will certainly be a major breakthrough in the field of environmental protection
