QINGHAI ACHIEVES
ZERO EMISSIONS FOR
168 HOURS NON-STOP
CHINA
The State Grid Corporation of
China achieved 100% clean
energy supply to the Qinghai
province for a record-breaking
168 hours non-stop. During this
period it relied on the coordinated
use of various power sources
including wind, hydro and solar
and control and rolling closedloop
dispatching to achieve zero
emissions moving them closer
to achieving towns run on 100%
renewable energies.
The Qinghai Yellow River
Hydropower Company developed
a new model of water and
solar complementarity using
photovoltaic power generation
of plants such as the Gonghe
Photovoltaic Industrial Park, and
upstream hydroelectric power
stations, such as Longyangxia,

WAVE POWER INSPIRED
BY THE HEART
CorPower Ocean AB has
developed a compact highefficiency
Wave Energy
Converter, with a design inspired
by the pumping principles of
the human heart. The design
enables the converter to oscillate
in resonance with the incoming
waves, strongly amplifying their
motion and power capture. This
enables a significant reduction in
the required buoy size compared
to conventional wave energy
converters, and improves
survivability due to the ability to
detune the device in storms.
Public sector support has been
provided at several stages
including through the EU Horizon
2020 funded project WaveBoost.
A half-scale unit is currently being
tested on the coast of Scotland.
