High temperature superconductors have advantages such as higher critical temperature than the conventional superconductors (approximately 77 K). Thus, they can regain superconductivity with the help of liquid nitrogen cooling. Their ability to conduct with very minimal losses than conventional conductors makes them ideal for the power industry. Als...

This edition of the Future Tech TOE focuses on third-generation solar sells. Third-generation solar cells are capable of overcoming the Shockley-Queisser limit of power efficiency that ranges from 31% to 41%. These cells primarily employ organic materials such as small molecules or polymers for their manufacture. A new category of thin film solar c...

Climate change has transformed as a global issue with almost all nations considering adoption of new strategies and technology advancements to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The power generation sector, which is as a key source of GHG emissions plays a key role as it exhibits significant potential for GHG mitigation. Coal happens to be one ...

IPPs in Southeast Asia, particularly ASEAN-6, face multiple challenges such as policy and regulatory restrictions and pressure to control carbon emissions. In addition, IPPs struggle to keep costs low to remain competitive while maintaining the highest quality in power generation, safety standards, and customer service. Incumbent technologies curre...

The energy sector is currently undergoing a dramatic change, where the increasing adoption of renewables is changing the entire global energy landscape. The rise in distributed energy generation has reduced the influence of power utilities, and many energy stakeholders will likely have to refine their business models, so as to remain competitive an...
