This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.Wind turbines are becoming a bigger part of the race towards a greener future—but at the same time, the technology is quickly evolving, which raises questions about how emerging turbine prototypes can be tested quickly and efficiently before they’re hooked up to power grids. A study published in February by a research group in Germany in the journalIEEE Open Journal of Power Electronics outlines four ways to test wind turbines to get them on the grid as fast as possible,with the aim of finding any issues earlier on in the testing phase.For decades......

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.As more electric vehicles hit the roads, the environmental impact of their battery production will also increase. This raises a major question: What type of EV battery will be the most environmentally friendly on a large scale?A study published 1 February in IEEE Access suggests that, after considering five different types of EV battery cells, lithium-sulphur cells will be the most environmentally friendly. The results also suggest that cells that don’t rely on precious and critical metals are fundamental for ensuring sustainable production.The m...... Read Full article on HadNews
