The acquisition will cover the bank\u2019s electricity usage in the state and will contribute to its 2020 environmental operations goal of purchasing 100 percent renewable energy. 3Degrees facilitated the connection between Juhl Energy and Bank of America.<\/p>\n<p>Juhl is partnering with Menasha, Wis.-based Faith Technologies Inc. to construct the project and collaborate on building additional hybrid projects.&nbsp;The project, anticipated to be operational before the end of 2018, will be owned by a subsidiary of Juhl Energy that pools together capital from the company and outside private investors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Combining powers<\/h2>\n<p>The project will use one 2.0-116 wind turbine from GE Renewable Energy\u2019s Onshore Wind business, supported by 0.5 MW of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/corporate-america-embraces-solar-power\/'\">photovoltaic solar<\/a>. It uses GE\u2019s Wind Integrated Solar Energy (WiSE) technology platform\u2014developed through GE\u2019s global research center\u2014to directly integrate the solar panels through the wind turbine\u2019s converter so both wind and solar share the same balance of plant, increasing system net capacity by 3-4 percent, and annual energy production by up to 10 percent. The hybrid design enables this type of projects to produce power when it is most needed\u2014solar providing summer peak energy, and wind providing winter peak energy.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Distributed generation will play a major role in the implementation of renewable energy in the U.S. electrical market in the years to come,&#8221;<\/em> Dan Juhl of Juhl Energy said in prepared remarks. <em>&#8220;Projects such as this one, with Juhl Energy&#8217;s package design and GE hybrid technology, will economically blend clean, renewable energy into the electric grid at a lower cost, plus add reliability to the system.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of GE Renewable Energy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hybrid technology is designed to generate power efficiently during peak demand in both summer and winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":1004281634,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,21748,13,36076,21742,21786,21787],"tags":[37926,43142,35875,40826],"class_list":["post-1004281622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-industrial","category-midwest","category-minneapolis-st-paul","category-latest","category-sustainability","category-technology","tag-ge-renewable-energy","tag-juhl-energy","tag-solar-power","tag-wind-power"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
