Maximizing Power Production for Small Commercial Projectsallearthrenewables
For any project, return on investment is key, but this is especially true for small commercial projects, where getting the most bang for your buck is essential. The key is reframing your thinking: it’s not just about traditional measures of cost like dollar per watt. Thinking about production capacity, and your dollar per kilowatt-hour, will yield a much better picture of how your project will return–and how you can meet your bottom line.
In this webinar, we’ll take you through the key steps for maximizing your power production in small commercial projects, including choosing panels that will give you more power for your money, how to site effectively to ensure you’re capturing as much sunlight as possible throughout the day, and thinking beyond fixed-mount systems to systems that follow the sun to increase your production by up to 40%.

GaN-on-Si Substrate Technology and Market for LED and Power ElectronicsYole Developpement
GaN-on-Si enables GaN power electronics, will LED transition as well?
GaN-ON-Si LED IS ALREADY ADOPTED BY SOME LED MANUFACTURERS, BUT COULD IT BECOME THE INDUSTRY STANDARD?
Today, GaN on Sapphire is the main stream technology for LED manufacturing. GaN-on-Si technology appeared naturally as an alternative to sapphire to reduce cost. Our cost simulation indicates that the differential in silicon substrate cost is not enough to justify the transition to GaN-on-Si technology. The main driver is the ability to manufacture in existing, depreciated CMOS fabs in 6” or 8”.
Despite potential cost benefits for LEDs, the mass adoption of GaN-on-Si technology for LED applications remains unclear. Opinions regarding the chance of success for LED-on-Si vary widely in the LED industry from unconditional enthusiasm to unjustified skepticism. Virtually all major LED makers are researching GaN-on-Si LED, but few have made it the core of their strategy and technology roadmap. Among the proponents, only Lattice Power, Plessey and Toshiba have moved to production and are offering commercial LED-on-Si.
At Yole Développement, we believe that although significant improvements have been achieved, there are still some technology hurdles (performance, yields, CMOS compatibility). We consider that if the technology hurdles are cleared, GaN-on-Si LEDs will be adopted by some LED manufacturers, but will not become the industry standard. We expect that Silicon will capture less than 5% of LED manufacturing by 2020.
GaN-ON-Si TECHNOLOGY WILL BE WIDELY ADOPTED BY POWER ELECTRONICS APPLICATIONS
The power electronics market addresses applications such as AC to DC or DC to AC conversion, which is always associated with substantial energy losses that increase with higher power and operating frequencies. Incumbent silicon based technology is reaching its limit and it is difficult to meet higher requirements. GaN based power electronics have the potential to significantly improve efficiency at both high power and frequencies while reducing device complexity and weight. Power GaN are therefore emerging as a substitution to the silicon based technology. Today, Power GaN remains at its early stage and presents only a tiny part of power electronics market.
We are quite optimistic about the adoption of GaN-on-Si technology for Power GaN devices. GaN-on-Si technology have brought to market the first GaN devices. Contrary to the LED industry, where GaN-on-Sapphire technology is main stream and presents a challenging target, GaN-on-Si will dominate the GaN based power electronics market because of its lower cost and CMOS compatibility. Although GaN based devices remain more expensive than Si based devices today, the overall cost of GaN devices for some applications are expected to be lower than Si devices three years from now, according to some manufacturers.

Principal Solar Institute PV Module Ratings to Evaluate Lifetime Energy Produ...Rick Borry
Are you aware that the energy produced over 25 years by PV modules can differ by as much as 50 percent, even though they have the same power rating? How do you know which module to select for your project? Choosing low-cost modules can give the impression that a PV project is at grid parity, but the ultimate metric for investors and consumers must be the long-term cost of energy production. Even so, developers cannot make the mistake of paying too much for the highest efficiency PV modules. In this webinar we will share our analysis of the PV module characteristics that determine Lifetime Energy Production™ and discuss the how the Principal Solar Institute PV Module Ratings can be used to select optimum solar panels for your project.
In addition to direct cost-benefit analyses, the PSI PV Module ratings have been used by renewable energy investors in their utility scale solar due diligence process, and by Solarize Frederick County as a mechanism to document installers’ choice of solar system components.
You should join us for a free webinar by Dan Bedell and Matthew Thompson of Principal Solar Institute to learn how the PSI PV Module Rating works and how it may be used in your solar project development.

Prior to the dramatic recent growth, and subsequent volatility, of Yieldcos, renewable energy financiers believed that their best hope of access to the public equity capital markets would be through Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and/or Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). Both of these structures are exempt from corporate level taxation, with their earnings taxed only at the investor level, but to date, neither vehicle is permitted unrestricted equity ownership of renewable generation assets. This presentation compares structures, tax treatment, legal issues and economics of Yieldcos, REITs and MLPs, and how they might compete for renewable energy issuers and investors if permitted to do so.

Delivering to the Energy Marketplace - Texas Harvests Wind and SolarRick Borry
Texas is a well-known energy state, and is famous for oil and gas production. But surprising to many, it is also the nation’s leading electricity producer, generating more than 10% of the total US electric energy annually, according to the Energy Industry Administration’s most recent report. In fact, on a global energy producer scale, Texas would rank number 12, between South Korea and the United Kingdom.
With vast supplies of natural gas and coal, it is the national leader in electricity generated from fossil fuels, but Texas also leads in production by intermittent renewables – wind and solar.
To utilize these resources, Texas augmented their grid by creating Competitive Renewable Energy Zones, and constructed CREZ transmission lines to deliver these valuable resources to consumers. The Energy Reliability Council of Texas is charged with providing this massive market with dependable electric power. Even though the capacity of intermittent resources on the ERCOT grid is an impressive 15 percent, the energy generated and transported is still only about 8 percent – but growing.
How will Texas manage increasing penetration of renewable energy on the ERCOT grid? Are the CREZ lines situated to take advantage of optimum wind and solar regions? What are the risks and rewards for energy producers and consumers?
Join us with industry expert Ron Seidel, former president of Texas Independent Energy, to share his insights and delve into these questions in our live webinar.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
