Eco Wave Power’s medium-scale wave energy generation system enters final phase
The medium scale power plant will be implemented on a pier in the Black sea during the first quarter of 2012, and will produce a minimum of stable 5KW from each floater.

Southwest Solar said its CPV product combines advanced multi-junction solar cells with innovative approaches in concentrator optics, power electronics, and efficient manufacturing. The design incorporates a unique solar flux management capability that enables non-uniform light intensity to be used. This makes it possible to use the CPV product with either dish or heliostat collectors designed for concentrated solar power (CSP).

The experimental project consists of three floating wind turbines and one floating power sub-station off the coast of Fukushima. The first stage of this experimental project will begin in 2012 and consists of one 2MW floating wind turbine, the world’s first 66kV floating power sub-station and undersea cable.

S&C Electric doubles smart grid and renewable energy products capacity
The facilities support S&C's power quality products, which include energy storage integration solutions, reactive compensation systems applied at renewable energy plants and extremely fast uninterruptible power supplies for mission critical power users.
S&C said the expansion will double manufacturing capacity for these products, allowing it to better support global demand for solutions to a wide range of challenges facing today's power grids. The facility is expected to open on August 1, 2012.

The addressable opportunity is estimated to be 10 million square meters of Baraclit's industrial rooftop portfolio. The Baraclit building integrated PV (BIPV) configuration complies with requirements of the Italian Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program for "Building Integrated Photovoltaic Plants with Innovative Features".

Kamlesh Bhadani, CEO of SEFORGE, said: “This agreement, alongside recent agreements with other tower manufacturers and a large European bearing producer, highlight SEFORGE’s growing presence as an independent parts supplier to wind and related industries. We project that by FY2013, 50 percent of our sales will be from companies outside the Suzlon Group.”
Tulsi Tanti, chairman of Suzlon Group, said: “This is a very important order that underscores our collaborative relationship with other major wind turbine companies the world over.
“Wind has today achieved parity with most conventional sources of energy, beating even gas in per-unit cost in some markets; and it is projected that by 2015 wind will be truly competitive against even coal-based power. With wind contributing a mere three per cent to the world’s energy grid today, we as an industry have an enormous opportunity before us to become a central pillar of the energy mix of the future.”
