Where Solar Power Meets the Oil Field
Technology Review
Feb 24, 2011
Extracting heavy oil from the ground carries a large carbon footprint, because the oil must be coaxed from the earth with steam. In California's Kern County, where steam-hungry oil fields account for 9 percent of the state's natural-gas consumption, GlassPoint Solar is testing an alternative: a one-acre greenhouse full of solar heat collectors. The Fremont, California, firm hopes this method will deliver steam in a way that's cleaner and cheaper than burning natural gas.

The Shanghai section of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway began a joint trial on Sunday. The project includes testing the new-generation bullet trains and its power system.
The Shanghai section of the route covers 645 kilometers(401 miles) and connects Zaozhuangxi in Shandong province to Hongqiao in Shanghai. The track linking Zaozhuangxi and Bengbu in Anhui province has finished its test run. Trains travelling that section can reach speeds of 486 kilometers per hour(302 miles per hour).
The trial is expected to be completed by May.The Beijing-Shanghai line is China's longest high-speed rail line. It covers more than 13-hundred kilometers and connects two major economic zones in the Bohai Sea Rim and the Yangtze River Delta. The high-speed train is expected to be in operation in June. It will shorten the trip between Beijing and Shanghai from 10 hours to under four hours.

Wind turbines have a problem: Depending on the wind's force, the rotational speed of the turbine and thus of the generator changes. However, alternating current must be fed into the grid with precisely 50 (or 60) hertz. Typically the generated alternating current is first rectified and then transformed back to alternating current of the required frequency. Scientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany, have now developed an active transmission that makes this double transformation superfluous.
