Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI), founded by Elizabeth Monoian and Robert Ferry, [1] is an organization dedicated to devising alternative energy solutions through sustainable design and public art [2] by providing platforms for scientists and engineers to collaborate with artists, architects and other creatives on public art projects that generate sustainable energy infrastructures. [3]
Solarpunk may take practical inspiration from Earthships, which are an example of sustainable architecture. [1] [2]Solarpunk is a literary and artistic movement, close to the hopepunk movement, [3] that envisions and works toward actualizing a sustainable future interconnected with nature and community.
Renewable energy in developing countries is an increasingly used alternative to fossil fuel energy, as these countries scale up their energy supplies and address energy poverty. Renewable energy technology was once seen as unaffordable for developing countries. [ 200 ]
A renewable energy sculpture is an artwork that produces power from renewable sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric or tidal. Such a sculpture is functionally both a renewable energy generator and a work of art , fulfilling utilitarian, aesthetic, and cultural functions.
China produced 31% of global renewable electricity, followed by the United States (11%), Brazil (6.4%), Canada (5.4%) and India (3.9%). [1] Renewable investment reached almost $500 billion globally in 2022, [2] amounting to 83% of new electric capacity that year. [3] The renewable energy industry employs almost 14 million people. [4]
An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation (CIG), include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and battery storage power stations. [1]
The Renewable Portfolio Standard program with renewable energy certificates runs from 2012 to 2022. [50] Quota systems favor large, vertically integrated generators and multinational electric utilities, if only because certificates are generally denominated in units of one megawatt-hour.
colour palette (usually, shades of blue and red), colour scale (assignment of colours to represent respective ranges of temperature anomaly), temperature boundaries (temperature above which a stripe is red and below which is blue, usually determined by an average annual temperature over a "reference period" or "baseline" of usually 30 years).
