WorldWater & Power Corp/Conti Corp to Install $3.25M Solar System
WorldWater & Power Corp. (WWAT.OB), maker of high-horsepower solar energy systems, and its Joint Venture partner Conti Corp. have been awarded a contract from the Atlantic County (NJ) Utilities Authority (ACUA) to install a $3.25 million solar energy system at the wastewater treatment plant near Atlantic City. The contract will require a $1.9 million rebate from the NJ Board of Public Utilities Office of Clean Energy and a low-interest loan from the NJ Environmental Infrastructure Trust program. Under the joint venture agreement, WorldWater & Power will supply all solar-related equipment, engineering and design services, and Conti will provide construction services and construction project management. First phase of the project is expected to be completed by August 1 and full completion by October 1, 2005. The system will be comprised of several different arrays, on building rooftops, raised parking structures, and ground mounted. Collectively the arrays are expected to provide an annual output of 660,000 kilowatt hours in clean, economical energy. As Richard Dovey, ACUA President, explained, “Each new project brings the ACUA closer to independence of fossil fuels. With the installation of solar panels and five wind turbines in the near future, our wastewater treatment facility will, at times, be […]

China Decides 5 Key Fields for Industrializing Renewable Energy
According to an article in Asia Pulse, the State Development and Reform Commission recently announced the projects China will implement to industrialize renewable energy and new energy technologies. There will be five key areas of industrialization: Wind power: a 1.5-megawatt variable-speed constant-frequency unit; a 1.2-megawatt direct-driven permanent-magnet wind power generating unit. Photovoltaic solar: a silicon ingot and chip for solar batteries; efficient, low-cost solar battery and system control components. Solar heating; geothermal-pump heating and refrigerating: an electron tube collector; large-area, high and middle-temperature solar water heating systems; all-weather solar water heating systems; high-efficiency geothermal pumps. A pilot high-temperature, air-cooled reactor power station. Hydrogen energy: technology that generates hydrogen from coal and natural gas; high-temperature hydrogen storage tanks; fuel-cell vehicles, and fixed fuel-cell power stations.
