6 renewable energy trends to watch in 2019 - residential energy storage systems

2019 will be an exciting year for cleaning technology.
More and more countries, companies and regions are receiving sustainable energy generation, and this is developing rapidly.
Here are six renewable energy trends in the coming year.
Energy storage plays an important role in balancing power supply and demand, and is the key to solving the intermittent problem of renewable energy.
Pairing the storage system with renewable energy ensures smooth power supply even if weather conditions are not the best condition for power generation.
Batteries are the most common storage device in renewable energy systems and use is increasing in residential and power gridswide scale.
Energy storage technologies are expected to continue to improve to make their use more feasible and affordable.
It is predicted that storage will become a core component of all new energy technologies in the future, because both utilities
The price competition between scale and domestic energy storage solutions is more intense, weakening the advantages of traditional energy.
In Barbados, the Caribbean island, old electric vehicle batteries have been reused to provide energy storage and extend their service life.
The micro-grid is a local energy grid that can operate independently or connect to a larger traditional grid.
They provide energy independence, efficiency and protection in case of emergency.
Machine learning ability using artificial intelligence (AI)
With the micro-grid controller, the operation can be continuously adapted and improved.
With the new software allowing the design to be completed in one day, the deployment of the micro-grid is getting faster and faster.
San Diego technology company XENDEEis, in partnership with theWorleyParsons group, has launched an advanced tool for micro-grid design, which reduces the time and cost by 90% compared to traditional methods.
From California to the Pacific Islands, the micro-grid is taking a central position. stage.
Palau, the Pacific island nation and the world's smallest 13 countries, is committed to building the world's largest micro-grid.
35 MW with 45 MW solar panels-
Energy storage for hours.
This effort is part of the national goal of the transition to 70% renewable energy by 2050, recognizing that the islands are at the forefront of addressing the effects of climate change and are the starting point for the global energy transition.
Blockchain technology, originally developed to record cryptocurrency transactions, is currently adapting to the use of the energy market.
Blockchain is a clean digital ledger that trades and records transactions through peersto-peer network.
The lack of centralization of blockchain makes it an ideal choice to eliminate middlemen from power suppliers.
It reduces energy inequality and inefficiency, enabling consumers to buy and sell energy directly from other consumers.
Pairing the blockchain distributed ledger technology with the day-to-day devices we use to receive and transmit information, is now commonly referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT)
Will have a profound impact on the energy system.
With the right app, the device can buy and sell energy on its own at the best time, optimizing energy system settings in a real environment
Time context, monitoring and analyzing energy performance
Consumer equipment.
These technologies are beginning to be used in breakthrough projects such as the Brooklyn micro-grid.
This project involves a community.
Owners buy and sell power micro-grids through block chain technology.
The success of projects like this ensures that they will be implemented more widely.
When alternative energy sources can generate electricity at a level of cost and performance equal to or less than the electricity generated by conventional methods, grid parity occurs.
In many regions, solar and wind energy have reached parity in price and performance, and new technologies continue to hone their competitive advantage.

Downward and centrally distributed energy production is being replaced by modular consumers
Drive even distributed generation.
Renewable energy sources, once considered difficult to integrate into the grid, are now serving to strengthen the reliability and resilience of the grid.
The application of blockchain, artificial intelligence and other automation technologies allows renewable energy to be self-utilized.
Optimize and improve efficiency.
The efficiency and cost of solar and wind energy have increased.
The continuous development of technology will continue to increase their prices and performance.
Combining economic benefits with low environmental impacts, we can look forward to seeing the transformation of renewable energy from acceptable to preferred.
More and more companies, cities and countries are embracing emission reduction targets and climate action plans to achieve the goal of limiting the rise in global temperatures.
So far, more than 100 cities around the world have reported that at least 70% of energy production comes from renewable energy, and more than 40 cities currently use 100% renewable energy.
Hundreds more have pledged to work towards the 100% energy generation target based on renewable energy.
Recognizing their impact on climate change, 158 companies also pledged to transform to 100% renewable energy.
Many of these companies and municipalities made these commitments after the 2015 Paris agreement.
According to the new information provided by the IPCC 2018 report, we can expect that bold commitments to move from fossil fuels to renewable energy will increase.
When it comes to exciting new ventures in energy technology, it's easy to forget that a large proportion of the world's population still has no access to energy at all.
Billions of people live in an environment without electricity, and hundreds of millions of people have unreliable or expensive energy.
Universal access to energy is a key component of addressing global development challenges.
The changes that are taking place in the energy market provide solutions to the energy supply problem. Community-

An effective way to provide affordable and reliable power to those who do not have it at the moment.
Clean, modular and renewable energy systems are ideal for many communities that cannot benefit from traditional forms of centralized energy production and delivery.
While politics often hinders progress, the new energy technologies and commitments of international groups such as the World Bank and SEforALL are laying the groundwork for providing energy opportunities to developing countries.
With their constant
Improving cost and performance metrics, we can expect to see renewable energy being increasingly deployed to power communities and areas that are in the dark for a long time.
