The vision of New Energy Portal (NEP) is to support development, growth and networking in all areas of green and renewable energy. The goal of NEP is to de-monopolize power generation, to help the people worldwide in finding ways to cover energy demands by individual and affordable renewable energy devices and ultimately help the world reach 100% green energy generation permanently for the entire planet.

Furthermore, we want to support private, public and large scale renewable energy generation projects in order to cover as much energy usage with green technologies as possible. To achieve this, NEP provides information and news about renewable energy which includes global renewable energy production and an insight view into the technological development trends.

In practical terms NEP has a news section, including regularly updated news from the Renewable Energy World, an information section with basic and advanced articles about the different Renewable Energy Technologies and Systems, an E-book Section with Do-It-Yourself guides for easy renewable energy applications and an international platform for the promotion of Renewable Energy Sources and Products. The platform consists of an international company listing to foster communication and grow networks for renewable energy projects. 20% of the profits generated by NEP will be donated back into different projects in the area of renewable energy research and development.

NEP uses a three tier approach. Firstly to help home owners to find useful information on renewable energy sources and support them in finding local companies that can install complete systems at their homes. Secondly, Small to Medium Enterprises (SME) can promote their products and services in the Company Listings. There is a weekly update on SMEs, their products and services, as well as a free Press Release feature. Thirdly, there is an advanced international Company Listing for manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers of installation systems and components where SMEs can find suppliers and suppliers can find buyers for their products.

Feel free to check out our site and give us your comments about your outlook on the world of renewable energies. If you are a Small to Medium Enterprise, doing business in the developing world, we are looking forward on promoting your company by adding your company profile under our “featured article” category onto our homepage.

Let’s work together today for a greener tomorrow!

Charleston, SC (Prfriend) June 2009 – A longstanding disagreement between Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, John Wellington, settled a longstanding dispute regarding regulations and responsibilities surrounding renewable energy projects on the Outer Continental Shelf.

As part of the Memorandum of Understanding, development of ocean wave energy is now possible. Prior to the agreement there was a misunderstanding as to which agency would govern this technology. The agreement gives the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission this responsibility.

Interest in ocean wave energy and other sea-based energy options is growing because of the vast size of the ocean. Waves are constantly in motion, and in theory this motion can be converted into a continuous energy source.

Perfecting the technology necessary to convert wave energy into electricity would lessen the country’s dependence on foreign sources of energy, which cannot be controlled. It also creates jobs, as the technology is being developed and put into use within the United States. Like all renewable resources, ocean wave energy does not have as much of a negative impact on the environment. It creates no carbon emissions or dangerous waste products.

Ocean wave energy is not a new consideration as an alternative energy source. In fact, scientists have been trying to harness ocean waves since the 1890s, but past technologies struggled to overcome the many challenges faced on the sea.

The large amount of material needed to create the structures in wave energy converters is one drawback to this technology. Corrosion is another battle that scientists must overcome, as saltwater is highly corrosive. Underwater components tend to attract barnacles, which hinder their operation. The devices must be strong enough to withstand the strong storms that occur at sea. Researchers are also looking into more effective ways to transport the energy to shore where it can be used.

As a result of this new agreement, Inerjy has received the green light to continue research into wave energy converters, which are devices that can take the nearly perpetual energy in ocean waves and convert it into usable electricity. This is a strategic move, because new technologies must be developed in order to overcome the problems associated with this renewable energy source.

Inerjy is working to perfect a new technology known as WaveTork, which overcomes many of these challenges. Not only does WaveTork have the potential to provide a renewable energy source, but it also appears to be able an affordable option.

Jamie Schlinkman of Inergy stated, “We believe under $4/watt capacity is achievable initially on a commercial scale and ultimately that the technology will compete with on-shore wind.” Inergy is in the process of attaining a patent for the WaveTork technology, and once that is secured, the company will release more information about the technology.

CA, March 2009 – Most of the people can’t live nowadays without television and nowadays people are paying around $60 to $70 per month for the electricity bills. This money is around 3 to 5 percentage of their total income. Mostly electricity is produced in the thermal power plants. The resources for these thermal power plants are in a great danger because after 30 to 40 years these resources will be over. We have think about the alternative ways like wind power, solar power by now itself says Michael Kuyt of www.earthlovesit.com

He added that, “According to a recent survey the renewable energy contribute to around 12% of the total electricity produced in the advanced countries like America. Mainly the biomass power and hydro energy is taking a great part in this renewable energy sources with each having a 40 % contribution. The solar power and the wind power contribution is very much low when compared to other resources which is merely around 2 to 3 percentage. Why this solar power contribution is this much reduced, because of the initial installation cost of the solar panels only. Because this initial installation cost around $20000 which is a big amount of money nowadays. So is there any way to reduce this installation cost? The internet is there for you guys who are thinking to get a solar power station of their own for just $200. In these cases you have to build your own solar panels in your home to generate electricity and these websites are providing you step by step information for doing this in your home”.

Speaking on the move, Michael Kuyt said “Before building your own solar power systems you have know about what are solar panels, solar cells. Solar panels is of two types one is photovoltaic modules which converts direct sunlight to electricity and the other one thermal collectors in which the sunlight will heat some liquids like water or oil, then from the heat energy obtained from the liquids is converted into electrical energy. Solar panels contain several individual solar cells. These solar cells are similar to that of a large semiconductor and utilize a large-area p-n junction diode. When the sunlight falls on these solar cells, the p-n junction diodes convert the energy from sunlight into electrical energy. The energy generated from photons which strikes the surface of the solar panel allows electrons to be thrown out of their orbits and released, and electric fields in the solar cells pull these free electrons in a directional current, from which metal contacts in the solar cell can generate electricity. The more no of solar cells in a solar panel the more total electrical output the solar panel will produce”.
