Mitsubishi begins operating the smart grid demonstration project

Intelligent networks have the ability to provide soft food to every commercial establishment or House connected to him. Currently, there are such systems only small-scale nature expensive to configure them. Now, Mitsubishi, the Japanese conglomerate, has completed work on a smart grid demonstration system called Labo M-tech that uses rechargeable batteries for EVs to the electrical demand for leveling on the premises of the factory. The Institute of technology of Toyota plays an advisory role in the project.

EV-Smart grid demonstration project
start of operation of "M-tech Labo," a smart grid demonstration system
Labo M-tech is one of four Japan smart grid initiatives that seek to demonstrate how these systems can make a big difference to ensure smooth and uninterrupted power supply. It will showcase the burden changing by being charged at night when energy demands are low and stored the renewable energy will power be routed to the grid when necessary by the offices and facilities of the factory of rechargeable batteries.

Companies engaged in the construction and the operating system are composed of Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. All three are of the opinion that using used rechargeable batteries and those of EVs will significantly lower the cost of establishment of dedicated smart grid instead of battery systems that are very expensive. Companies look to move towards energy systems Greens for a sustainable society in which CO2 emissions are reduced and more easily satisfy the energy requirements.

For this year, the group will seek to demonstrate a reduction of fluctuation of energy in the administration of MMC Nagoya plant building that will use energy of Labo M-tech with a maximum power of kW. The objective is to establish a reduction of 33 per cent of the range of fluctuation of 180kW. Companies will also validate the electric vehicle system integration of EVs adding capacity data download available of each electric vehicle while still letting them be used as a means of transport.

Demonstration in Bilbao against nuclear energy and the central of Garoña

After the terrible earthquake in Japan and accidents that have occurred in different nuclear power plants following him, the world once again paying attention in the imminent danger of nuclear energy.

Many organizations in Spain - and the world - are holding the urgent need to stop this type of energy of side. In Bilbao, once more there will be a public demonstration against nuclear power generation, and the Santa María de Garoña nuclear power plant.

One of the objectives of this demonstration that summons the ekologistak martxan organization seeks to give a show of support to the Japanese people affected by the nuclear alert.

And also make a new protest against the central core of Santa María de Garoña, whose nuclear reactor shares the same technology and time of manufacture to the 3 in crisis in Fukushima.

Demonstration against the combustible fossils and the renewable energy in the White House

In the last few days is carried out in the Washington, United States, the Powershift 2011 Conference (we could translate it as Change energy). This initiative brings together 10,000 young leaders in environmental organizations to discuss the implementation of renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. To complete this event, will be now held a massive demonstration in front of the Casa Blanca.

You are expected to be about 5,000 young people who attend this demonstration which will begin at the White House, where they may require for the actions of the President Obama for nuclear energy, gas and coal. They will then head to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce (us chamber of commerce) where are represented the big polluters companies and from which is repeatedly sabotage attempts to move forward in the fight against climate change. They then continue protest against the subsidiary of BP (the company guilty of terrible 2010 Gulf oil spill), offices of Gene-On, an energy company that works by burning coal in the State of Virginia.
