Did you know that each year, concrete emits 2.3 billion tonnes of CO2   and iron and steel contribute an additional 2.6 billion tonnes? Together, they’re responsible for 15% of global emissions. Ramboll and the Climate Group have created a survey to investigate the market interest in lower emission alternatives. They are seeking to pinpoint challenges and solutions for increasing the availability and adoption of lower emission concrete and steel within key industries, such as energy, infrastructure, construction, and manufacturing. Follow this link to take part in the survey: https://lnkd.in/d9jDJ_Db The deadline for the survey is 26 July 2024. #BuildingTheTransition

🔵 In order to avoid wasting land resources, building photovoltaic power plants on the water surface becomes a good solution.   In terms of the floating system, there are essentially four types: 👇 👇 👇 1️⃣ Pure FPV: In these systems, the PV panels are located above the flotation system. In these systems, it is important to calculate the maximum tilt angle to compensate for the increased cost of the anchoring systems due to the loads on the structure with the possible increase in production by optimizing the tilt angle.   2️⃣ Metallic FPV: These have a steel structure supported by a floating system on which the photovoltaic panels are supported and, although they offer better cooling with an impact on production, the costs of floating systems can be higher.   3️⃣ Membrane FPV: In these systems, the modules rest directly on the membrane in contact with the water. In these systems, although the loads are lower, production can be penalized depending on the location of the plant.   4️⃣ Other systems: Systems with alternative materials, usually composed of iron and concrete, currently with a lower level of implementation.   ☑ In the construction, when the water depth is less than 3 meters use piling method, and when above three meters choose a floating method. #JunnoEnergy #FPV #floatingsolar #sustainable #lake #solarenergy #learning

Code allows us to use the corner to corner dimensions of a square foundation, which is 1.4x bigger than its width. This means a 4’ square foundation calcs at 5.6’ instead of 4’. This allows for a shallower foundation. Most first time designers spend a lot of energy trying to reduce concrete, but for moderate sized projects the concrete truck is rarely full anyway so the extra concrete is much cheaper than forming or deeper foundations. I always recommend 4’ square foundations, they just seem to end up cheaper in the long run in my experience.

Even though a square foundation is a standard, MT Solar mounts can be designed with round foundations. You might choose a round foundation if you prefer the look, as they can have a more cohesive appearance with the steel pole ◾️☀️ If you own an auger, choosing a round foundation can mean a faster excavation process. They’re also a practical choice if you want to reduce the amount of surface concrete, which is advantageous if you’re installing a solar mount into asphalt or if you want to retain as much natural ground as possible. But while round foundations do take up less space at the surface, they will require a deeper embedment and more concrete than a square foundation 💪 🔗 Learn more about solar solutions at www.MTSolar.us #MTSolar #SolarUseCase #MTSolar #PoleMount #RenewableEnergy #RaiseYourArrays #RenewableEnergy #SquareFoundations #SolarSolutions

Gravity To the Rescue By Branko Terzic https://lnkd.in/eApGmZhp How does it work? Energy is stored when a weight is lifted by an electric motor. As the weight is released it pulls a cord around an electric generator producing electricity. The round-trip efficiency can be 80%. The change of energy from lifting a weight directly correlates to the vertical rise (the higher a mass is lifted, the more gravitational potential energy) and to the mass of an object (the heavier the mass, the bigger the change in energy.) So, we want heavier weights moved over greater vertical distances. My understanding is that Energy Vault uses local composite materials for weights, existing lifting technology and standard building construction. They estimate a 35 life for the system which exceeds the life of the wind and solar energy resources supplying the power. That seems like a simple elegant solution to the energy (from electricity) problem. But why is it necessary to build a structure to provide the height. The vertical distances can be manmade or natural: A. Manmade height differences Existing construction Buildings Mining shafts Wells Railroad inclines Bridges Elevator shafts Excavated open pit mine 2. Special purpose structures B. Natural height differences Deep water Cliffs Hills Elevated lakes The sites can use natural height differences saving on construction costs and the weights can come from any dense and cheap material such as concrete, water, scrap metal, rocks etc. Ideally the Gravity batteries to be economic should not require new transmission lines either to receive energy for storage or to deliver energy to the grid. This means that locations with natural height differences will be usable only if the location is suitable with respect to additional costs of transmission construction. Special built structures such as those used by Energy Vault can be located at sites with the most economic characteristics including use of existing transmission assets. As gravity battery technologies attract more investors and inventors the new companies will most likely start looking at locations with unused natural height differentials suitable for development. Stay tuned. #BrankoTerzic #energy #regulations #experience #research #future #opportunity #strategy #management #people #electricity #power #utilities #renewables #RenewableEnergy #energysector #powergeneration #energyindustry #sustainability #Gravity #batteries

When planning solar plants, pile-driven foundations are not always possible. 😖 If the soil is too soft or too stony, the water table is too high, or the land is contaminated (like on landfill sites, for example), you’ll need a solar mounting system that bypasses the need for driven piles without compromising on stability. Which is why we made the PVMAX3. 👊 As its substructure is fastened to pre-cast concrete foundations, the PVMAX3 is ideal for small-scale, ground-mounted solar projects for which test piles and soil studies are unfeasible. In addition to reduced assembly times, the PXMAX3 also offers: ✔ Zero subsoil perforation ✔ Supreme stability and durability ✔ Perfectly synchronized components ✔ Quick and cost-effective project planning ✔ A very high degree of corrosion resistance We also provide a complete structural analysis (including concrete foundations) with every PVMAX3, so you don’t have to worry about finding an external specialist and paying above the odds. 🤝 Contact your key account manager today for more info—or, if you don’t have one yet, message us via our website and we’ll be in touch with you soon. #WeSupportSolar #SolarPower #PVMAX3

Hello, my brothers and sisters. Today, I'm going to introduce the process of pile - driving for ground - mounted photovoltaic power stations. First of all, before starting the pile - driving work, we need to conduct a detailed site survey. This includes understanding the geological conditions of the ground, such as whether it is soft soil, hard soil, or even rocky ground. We also need to consider environmental factors like wind speed and direction in the area, as these will affect the stability requirements of the piles. Solution we using; Soft and bad environment： 2.5M deepth Hard soil: 1.5M deepth This vedio we using is 1.5M deepth After the survey, the next step is to mark the positions where the piles will be driven. This is usually based on the layout design of the photovoltaic panels. Precise positioning is crucial to ensure the proper installation of the entire photovoltaic system. Then comes the actual pile - driving process. If we are using iron screw piles, we use specialized pile - driving equipment. The equipment lifts the screw pile and rotates it to drive it into the ground. As mentioned before, the depth of driving depends on various factors. During the pile - driving process, we constantly monitor the verticality of the pile. If the pile is not vertical, it will affect the stability of the photovoltaic structure installed on it later. So, we use measuring tools to make sure the pile is within the acceptable range of verticality. After the piles are driven, we conduct a quality inspection. We check the depth, verticality, and stability of each pile. If any pile does not meet the requirements, we may need to take corrective measures, such as re - driving the pile or making additional adjustments. After piles installed, we start to install racks and screws for mounting system which is same as roof type too, after that we install the solar panels by steps. welcome inquiry and cooperate from design production to construction your one-stop solution for solar call us now making your best solution for solar power with our local technical support and EPC construction service whastapp: +86 159 6247 3033 mail: support@sunlink-energy.com #solarpower #solarsystem #storage #solartechnology #solarman #offgrid #hybridsolar #ongridsolar #solarafrica #solarkit #solarpump #sunpower #solarepc #solarmodule #Libattery #inverter #battery #controller #solarpanel
