The Global Renewable Energy Transition: Where the Numbers Actually Stand
Renewable capacity additions keep setting annual records, but headline growth figures obscure a more complicated picture of curtailment, interconnection queues, and regional imbalance.
Green Hydrogen Economics: Electrolysis, Cost Curves, and the Road to Parity
Green hydrogen's cost trajectory depends on three levers moving together: electrolyzer capital cost, electricity price, and utilization. Moving only one is not enough.
Solar PV Performance in the Field: Degradation, Bifacial Gains, and Yield Modeling
Nameplate capacity tells you almost nothing about how a solar plant will actually perform over 25 years. Degradation rates and site-specific yield modeling tell you much more.

Techno-Economic Analysis of Green Hydrogen Production via PEM Electrolysis at Grid Scale
This paper presents a techno-economic model of grid-scale PEM electrolysis across a range of electricity price and utilization scenarios. We find that utilization rate and power price together explain the overwhelming majority of levelized hydrogen cost variance across the scenarios modeled, more than electrolyzer capital cost itself, reinforcing that power procurement strategy, not equipment selection, is the primary lever available to developers seeking cost-competitive green hydrogen in the near term.
Machine Learning-Based Predictive Maintenance for Wind Turbine Gearboxes: A Comparative Model Study
We compare three machine learning approaches, gradient-boosted trees, a recurrent neural network, and an unsupervised anomaly detection model, for predicting wind turbine gearbox failure using SCADA and vibration data. The unsupervised anomaly detection approach achieved the best lead-time-to-failure performance despite requiring no labeled failure examples, suggesting it is the more practical starting point for operators with limited historical failure data, a common constraint across most operating wind fleets.
