Once upon a time, not a fairy tale, and not long ago, this is true, we would have already had developed these technologies and they'd have been developing, right here in the U.S., then spreading that out to the world community!!
19 September 2012 - Denmark based Global Green Growth Institute is teaming up with Masdar Institute and South Korea’s Research Institute for Industrial Science and Technology to design a micro grid operating on 100% renewable energy. The project is supported by approximately USD 1 million from GGGI and POSCO, the world’s fourth largest steel producer.
The announcement of this collaborative UAE and South Korea research project which is led by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Directorate for Energy & Climate Change and coordinated by the GGGI was made during the project launch event which was held at Shangri La Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
During the event, the joint project team between Masdar Institute and Research Institute for Industrial Science and Technology revealed a conceptual design for an island-based renewable micro grid. The conceptual design consists of a control system, energy storage and a high efficiency DC distribution system. It is designed to incorporate renewable energy sources such as solar PV, small wind power and biofuel production from waste and algae. The micro grid system can be linked to local seawater desalination and electric powered boats for island access.
The Public Private Partnership project is coordinated by GGGI and will tap the expertise of Masdar Institute in the design and simulation of micro-grids with renewable energy, and the RIST team’s established expertise in commercializing technologies demonstrated by the project on Jeju Island, South Korea. MI proposed an initial concept for the project to GGGI on October 2010 and the GGGI UAE Country team provided MI an essential link to an industrial Partner within GGGI’s partnership network RIST. read more>>>
