1. Galapagos tortoises at Philadelphia Zoo become first-time parents at nearly 100

“Mommy, the female tortoise, is considered one of the most genetically valuable Galapagos tortoises in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ species survival plan. [… T]he zoo said it is “overjoyed” at the arrivals of the four hatchlings, a first in its more than 150-year history.”

2. Massachusetts home-electrification pilot could offer a national model

“In total, the program is providing free or heavily subsidized solar panels and heat pumps to 55 participating households, 12 of which also received batteries at no cost. […] It’s a strategy that program planners hope can help address the disproportionate energy burden felt by lower-income residents of the region[….]”

3. National Park Rangers rebel against queer erasure on Trans Day of Visibility

“[… A] group of over 1,000 off-duty, fired, and retired National Park Service employees launched Rangers Uncensored, an online archive that restores and amplifies LGBTQ+ stories quietly scrubbed from government websites since President Donald Trump’s second inauguration.”

4. World's largest wildlife crossing reaches critical milestone

“Over the next few days they'll be adding 6,000 cubic yards of specially manufactured soil to cover the crossing, a mix of sand, silt and clay inoculated with a bit of compost and hyperlocal mycorrhizal fungi, carefully designed and tested to mimic the biological makeup of native soils around the site.“

5. Bipartisan bill to boost green building materials glides through House

“[B]ipartisan legislation the House of Representatives passed in a 350-73 vote last week would give the Department of Energy a clear mandate to develop a full program to research, develop, and deploy clean versions of the building materials.”

6. Tribal Wildlife Grants Funding Announced

“Tribal Wildlife Grants are intended to help Tribes develop programs for the conservation of habitat and species of traditional or cultural importance[….] Typically funded projects include: conservation planning, fish and wildlife management and research, habitat mapping and restoration, inventory and monitoring, and habitat preservation. […] A total of $6.1 million is available for this round of funding[….]”

7. Germany adds another one million PV arrays to take solar total to 104 gigawatts

“Following a rapid rise in household solar panel installations, Germany’s total number of PV arrays has passed the five million “milestone[.…]” Solar systems already cover almost 15 percent of Germany’s electricity demand, BSW-Solar said. […] The total capacity of all PV systems installed in Germany surpassed 100 GW at the start of the year.”

8. Stronger together: Bilby conservation efforts enhanced by Indigenous knowledge

“Ms. Geyle said the results showed combining [conventional science and traditional tracking methods] more accurately estimated bilby abundance than using either technique individually[….] "[… ensuring] that Indigenous people remain central to decision-making about their lands and species that inhabit them," Ms. Geyle said.”

9. Lennar will build 1,500new Colorado homes with geothermal heat pumps

“The homebuilder is partnering with Dandelion Energy to install the tech, which is efficient but expensive — unless it’s built into new homes from the start. […] And by eliminating the need for new gas pipelines and reducing the peak electricity demands on the power grid, subdivisions built on this model could save a bundle on utilities as well[….]”

10. New strategy launched to protect Tanzanian biodiversity hotspot

“Conservationists have launched a 20-year-long project to protect what is arguably Tanzania’s most biologically rich landscape: the Udzungwa Mountains. The strategy places notable emphasis on communities living here, with more than half of its budget allocated to social and economic projects and managing human-wildlife conflict.”

TBHX Setting notes 1 & 2

there's some extra info on the TBHX social media accounts (most of them are light-hearted posts, but you do get some extra info sometimes)

huh. everything can be changed by trust, but it looks like people only really had the concept that Trust Value forges heroes 5 years before the Commission was formed... meaning the Trust System has only been around for 40-50 years. Aside from creating heroes, some people can also become geniuses in their fields thanks to Trust Value—these geniuses heavily contributed in the areas of AI, materials, energy conversion and bioscience.

Also we already got a hint of this in the PVs, but it's heavily implied the Hero Association Commission made Hero Tower to better control and monitor them. The higher the ranking, the higher the living space; if one manages to unseat a higher ranking hero and replace them in rankings, they will move into the corresponding floor.

Heroes immediately move when there's a change in rankings, which might explain why Nice's room was so bare—if you can get kicked out of your floor whenever your rankings change, you're probably not inclined to keep lots of knickknacks or furniture in your living space either.

[CN] MLQC’s Lucien - Labyrinth Date - English Translation (1/2)

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT!! ⚠️

This post contains a detailed spoiler for a date that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~

I slowly press the needle tip against his neck.

I exhale softly, the hand pushing the syringe plunger trembling almost imperceptibly.

The next moment, Lucien’s hand suddenly covers the back of mine, his fingertips slipping unhurriedly between my fingers.

"I’ve taught you."

"Hesitation is the emotion most likely to lead to failure."

Translation under the cut!

T/N: I think this date does a good job with world-building. I just want to add something mentioned in the PV song lyrics and other guys’ dates. There's this thing called Iris Device, which is a lens implanted in everyone’s eye at the age of seven. It's directly linked to a multidimensional scoring system that monitors what you see and tracks your vitals as part of deciding your score. I guess it’s similar to those sci-fi contact lenses? Anyway, yea that’s all for now-

I really recommend y'all to read previous dates from this year (like Sinking and Floating in Indulgence MQ and Dawn Date) Not much reason other than I find this reoccurrence of this guy being imprisoned is amusing tho the previous date seem to ease on the idea of them being lunatics (affectionately).

Also like Dawn Date, I'd appreciate not giving heavy spoilers for this date to other people that hasn't read the date bc the plot twist is part of the fun :D

[Subbed Video, TURN ON CC!]

I would really appreciate it if you could also follow along with the acting because his CN VA just nails this date so perfectly, and BGM does a great job of helping set the mood n atmosphere.

=[Part 1]=

The sound of the prison gates slowly closing rings out from afar, shattering the silence of the space.

Almost simultaneously, my lens also flickers slightly.

I slow my steps, raise a hand, and tap the corner of my frame. In the next second, a fluorescent admin interface spreads out across the lens's view.

A very small prompt box appears at the top of the layered notification bar: "Execution in two hours."

I glance at the time and pick up my pace a little.

All criminals held in this prison must undergo bi-monthly systematic scoring to quantify the degree of ‘repentance’.

If their scores show no increase for three consecutive times, they are deemed ‘incorrigible’.

The prison will then administer punishment by erasing the criminal's key memories and reshaping a sound personality through visual education.

And as medical staff, carrying out this punishment is the core part of my work beyond daily treatments.

It's just that recently, the criminals have been relatively well-behaved, and for months, this is the first time I’ve received an execution notice.

I wonder what kind of heinous, unrepentant person I will deal with this time...

Thinking about the tedious procedures ahead, I can’t help but sigh softly and helplessly close the interface before me.

After clearing identity verification at the gate to the high-risk area, I continue down the corridor.

The faint sound of footsteps in the distance gradually grows clearer, mingled with the muffled scrape of chains dragging across the floor.

I lift my head absentmindedly, only for a familiar figure to suddenly come into view, catching me off guard.

....Lucien walks from the opposite direction under the watch of two guards, his hands bound in chains, hanging loosely in front of him.

His prison uniform seems ill-fitting, slipping off his shoulders as he moves, revealing his slender neck.

Yet the corners of his lips hold a hint of a relaxed smile, as if he is not heading toward the depths of the prison, but rather toward a sunlit garden.

On the contrary, the guards look tense as if facing a lethal enemy.

Upon seeing me, a glint of surprise seems to flash through those dark eyes. Lucien takes the initiative to stop walking, coming to a halt just an arm’s length away from me.

Lucien: [smiles] At this hour, why isn't Miss Section Chief resting in the office area?

MC: Perhaps you should know better why you didn’t cherish your opportunities.*

MC: Not only will you have your memories erased, but you’re also ‘dragging’ me into working overtime.

Lucien helplessly spreads out his hands, the restraints on his wrists glaringly conspicuous.

Lucien: I’m also very surprised about this.

Lucien: Clearly, I’ve been very well-behaved recently.

MC: The system doesn't misjudge. It seems like you're not only extremely bad, but you also lack self-awareness.

Probably sensing the absence of sympathy in my voice, Lucien lets out a sigh that seems tinged with regret.

The chains binding his wrists are suddenly pulled taut. I look up to see a guard beside him turning to address me.

Guard: Section Chief MC, please refrain from communicating with Number 0525.

Guard: Several managers who have been in contact with him have recently experienced a drop in their scores.

MC: Thank you, but my psyche has never been influenced by criminals.

MC: Otherwise, the warden wouldn’t have specifically assigned me to perform the execution.

My tone carries faint arrogance. The guard pauses briefly, his expression shifting almost imperceptibly before traces of respect surface.

Guard: ...As expected of the prison’s youngest medical section chief.

Guard: A criminal who is this dangerous still needs your direct intervention to command control.

MC: Aren't you going to escort Number 0525 back? You've already wasted quite a bit of time.

I ignore the gaze trailing me and speak up to remind them. The guards nod, turning to sternly urge Lucien.

He lowers his eyes obediently and moves at a leisurely pace. I also withdraw my gaze and continue walking toward the office area.

The metallic scrape of shackles intermingles with the click-clack staccato of high heels. In the fleeting moment we pass each other, the periphery of my vision suddenly plunges into shadow.

Lucien suddenly leans in close, his whisper—accompanied by the warmth of his breath— brushing just near yet distant against my ear.

Lucien: [whispers] I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

Lucien: Let me see what you've learned in this place.

Guard: Number 0525!!

The chain around Lucien’s neck jerks taut. I take half a step back and coldly spit out a word.

MC: ...Lunatic.

✂———————–

[T/N]

I find it neat that while Lucien affectionately calls her 小疯子 (xiǎo fēngzi – little lunatic) in Dawn Date, here it’s her turn to call him 疯子 😆

*: The phrase “这恐怕要问你” (lit. “I’m afraid I have to ask you”) before “why you didn’t cherish your opportunities?” is translated here as “Perhaps you should know better” to retain its implied rhetorical blame. It’s like, why did he ask why MC is here instead of resting when it’s his fault that she’s working overtime LOL. He should know better, the reason why he’s so unrepentant despite his opportunities, which eventually leads to his ‘execution’ and her working overtime.

=[Part 2]=

=Flashback Start=

Countless streamers were projected across the azure sky, the melodious tune of the school anthem gradually fading as the flying media player departed.

From time to time, young men and women cheered as they tossed their graduation caps into the sky, adjusting their robots to capture this beautiful scene.

Although technology has undergone tremendous changes, the graduation ceremony at Mainland University still adheres to the old-time celebration traditions from a century ago.

I was gazing listlessly at the scene outside the window when I heard someone behind me speaking in a gentle voice.

Lucien: Who knows the next time when we'll meet again.

MC: Mentor, don’t say that. Even if work keeps me busy, I’ll still come back to visit you.

MC: If it weren't for your guidance these past few years, with my mental state, it would have been very difficult to maintain a stable high score of 85 in the system.

Lucien: I've also cherished these years of talking with you, MC. By the way, have you already decided on where you want to go after graduation?

A vague heaviness sank in my heart. I looked away from the window and, maintaining politeness, forced the corners of my mouth into a smile.

MC: The system recommended four or five places tailored to my score, I’ll just pick from those.

MC: After all, every employer needs to check the score. There’s hardly any room for freedom to choose, is there?

A cup of hot tea was slid before me, its rising, swirling steam blurring his gaze from view.

Lucien: But I think you don't necessarily have to heed its suggestions.

I was taken aback, looking at this renowned instructor somewhat incredulously.

…For as long as I can remember, the system has been the most important part of the societal evaluation framework.

Everyone begins receiving scores starting at the age of seven. Choosing a major, a job, even a spouse… every major life decision must be made with reference to one’s score.

Those who achieve high scores naturally enjoy greater access to societal resources, while even the freedoms low scorers possess are constrained.

Individuals like Lucien, whose scores place them at the pinnacle of the social pyramid, can easily attain everything they desire… whether wealth or the golden ticket into the ruling class.

Wouldn't someone with such vested interests be even more inclined to uphold the system's judgments? Then why would he say something like that?

MC: ...Mentor, what do you mean?

Lucien: The work one pursues should be considered from many dimensions, including interests, development, and many more.

Lucien: Score is merely a number, not the sole decision criterion.

My actions faltered briefly as I let out a soft "Hm?"

MC: But can human judgment truly be more scientific than the system?

MC: It was only after the multidimensional scoring system was born that society achieved the most efficient resource allocation mechanism.

MC: Moreover, the Mainland’s average annual economic growth rate increased by 9.8 percentage points compared to before the system's implementation, and even the crime rate...

My fluent recitation stumbled mid-sentence as I met his smiling gaze.

Lucien: So MC has always been this knowledgeable about the system.

Lucien: It was a mistake on its part not to assign you to the system operation and maintenance major.

MC: …It’s almost impossible to forget this kind of information that’s been pushed at us since childhood.

I muttered in a low voice, then belatedly pressed my lips into a tight line as I glanced at him tentatively.

Outside the window, the melody of the school anthem became clear once more alongside the hum of flying machines. Lucien quietly looked at me, a subtle curve suddenly appearing at the corner of his lips.

Lucien: Actually, I only need you to answer one question.

Lucien: MC, do you truly place unwavering faith in the system's judgment?

=Flashback end=

System: “Drug formulation has been completed.”

An eye-catching prompt box suddenly popped up from the lower-right corner of the lens interface, flashing rhythmically.

MC: Mentor Xu…

I pick up the drug solution from the pharmacy bench, murmuring softly.

The memory from the graduation ceremony is still vivid, but the person who spoke with measured grace across from me that day has now become a criminal.

After that consultation, I still chose the prison among the job placements recommended by the system.

I never expected that not long after, I’d abruptly see one breaking news story after another about Lucien.

His photos dominate the pages of countless media outlets, and the headlines incite an even greater public outcry.

”Renowned Psychologist Suspected of Interfering with System Standards”—this incident has stirred a massive uproar.

The scoring time for that month was even postponed by a week to conduct an item-by-item audit and recalibration of entries he had handled.

Everyone who had close contact with him, including me, was urgently interrogated and retested.

Fortunately, my system score remains stable. Relying on this, I haven’t faced any further repercussions.

What about him? 

When he gazes through the bars at that unchanging sky, does he think of his once free and bright life?

The final instrument is now fully prepared. I lower my gaze to sweep a glance over it. Collecting my thoughts, I walk toward the execution chamber.

.

.

.

.

The surveillance camera’s red dot flickers faintly, rotating in time with my unhurried footsteps.

Once my credentials are verified, the door to the execution chamber slides silently apart.

Lucien sits on the cold, hard chair with one leg half-bent, gazing up in my direction with keen interest.

Heavy iron shackles bind his ankles, hanging through the gaps in the seat.

Perhaps having waited too long and grown a bit bored, most of his body now leans against the seat. The collar of his prison uniform is slightly open, displaying a sense of relaxation that seems somewhat out of place.

Lucien: You’re finally here.

Lucien: I was just worried you might have changed your mind and didn't want to meet me.

MC: [coldly] It's my duty, of course I wouldn't hand it over to someone else.

Lucien: So, MC came to see me only because of work?

I ignore the familiarity in his tone and calmly proceed to draw the drug.

The vital-signs monitor clamped around his neck displays his real-time pulse. It’s now unexpectedly a few beats faster than when I first entered.*

Could this person even be nervous?

Seeing my silence, those dark eyes shift to the injection in my hand, a flicker of curious interest flashing through them.

Lucien: So the memory-erasing execution is carried out through injection? How does it avoid neural damage, then?

MC: The injection contains nanobots that will act according to the program... Never mind.

MC: No matter how much I explain, you’ll forget it all soon anyway.

MC: Stay still. Disinfecting now.

The person before me sighs, a hint of innocence surfacing in the depths of his eyes.

Lucien: This might be my last moment. Can’t MC at least take a bit of our past into account?

His lips are paler than the prison garb. I press my lips together and then still reach for the alcohol-soaked cotton ball with tweezers.

MC: [frowns] It’s only a memory purge. Why do you say it like it’s a death sentence?

Lucien: But a person's present is shaped by their past.

Lucien: To a certain extent, this is a psychological annihilation of one’s identity.

The alcohol spreads in a faint sheen across his neck. The pungent scent hits my nose, and I instinctively start to speak a little faster.

MC: The system has extracted the memory fragments most critical to you based on your past emotional fluctuations.

MC: After the execution, the prison will broadcast the approved segments daily. As for those that don't meet the standards, they'll be shown after modification.

MC: All in all, it won't affect your cognition... it's not as horrifying as you imagine.

I slowly press the needle tip against his neck. Lucien looks at me calmly; even the heart rate projected in the monitor hardly shows any changes.

I exhale softly, the hand pushing the syringe plunger trembling almost imperceptibly.

The next moment, Lucien’s hand suddenly covers the back of mine, his fingertips slipping unhurriedly between my fingers.

MC: ….!

The clear liquid is pushed into his neck bit by bit. Holding my breath, I can almost feel the warmth of his exhale brushing against my ear.

Lucien: [whispers] I’ve taught you.

Lucien: [x2] Hesitation is the emotion most likely to lead to failure.

Along with his words, the final drop of the drug disappears from the syringe.

The drug takes effect faster than expected. Almost immediately, a faint weariness clouds those eyes that reflect my face like still water.**

As if unable to bear the weight of his own head, Lucien’s neck tilts back against the chair, baring a fragile curve to the air.

I count down silently in my heart. Before I even reach five, his eyes slowly drift shut, and the hand entwined with mine falls away.

Amid the ticking of the instruments, I can faintly hear his breathing grow deeper. I slip free from Lucien’s palm, hovering momentarily before letting my hand gently stroke his hair.

Cold, soft... If the moonlight could be touched, it would probably feel like this.

I stoop a little, speaking in a quiet murmur.

MC: Thank you for your trouble, Mentor.

MC: But even if the experiment fails, I have a backup plan.

MC: This is the most precious lesson you’ve taught me.

✂———————–

[T/N]

While in prison, MC uses the regular “you” 你 (nǐ), but in the flashback, MC uses 您 (nín), the formal and respectful version of 你, to address Lucien. This is important as it carries nuance that becomes significant later~ 

*: With his heartbeat hardly changing when the execution does happen, I think his heartbeat got noticeably quicker simply because of her presence🥺. After all, she’s the only one who can make him ‘out of control’.

**: There’s no explicit mention of still in the original,  BUT the writer uses "倒映" to describe how his eyes reflect her. This word particularly refers to how things are reflected in a body of water (like the surface of a lake, a pool, etc)… so I try to keep that nuance by adding still water here even if it wasn’t explicitly mentioned~ (p.s. later down the line, the writer keeps using this word, and I've run out of ideas on how to tl it variably... well, just keep in mind that every time this date says reflected/mirrored, the writer is using the same word)

[Paraview AU] PVS-07 (Qwerty)

Full Name: Qwerty Operating System ID #: PVS-07 Gender: Fem-Nonbinary (She/Her and They/Them) Relatives: PVS-05 (Elder Sister Figure) Classification: Simulacrum Species: Sentient Computer Program Assigned Researcher: Quincy Packard Preferred Food: None (Does not eat)

Discovery

PVS-07 was discovered in the library of a high school in Atlantic City, New Jersey, after a group of students, who shall remain anonymous, encountered the entity. One afternoon in the library, the group of students attempted to download adult material onto the device. This had set off the entity, who suddenly appeared on the screen and responded with “Don't you have BETTER things to do?!” This frightened the teens, as this proved that she was, in fact, sentient. The incident was reported to library staff by the teens, who in turn, reported it to the Paraview Foundation. 

The computer PVS-07 resides in was relocated to the facility. Upon questioning by investigators, the library staff noted that her computer was the only one capable of downloading those kinds of images while connected to the school's system, and that the downloading of explicit material was not an isolated incident. 

At the end of her Icebreaker Interview, the subject requested that any and all explicit material was to be deleted off her system. This request was granted, with fervor. Dr. Packard was brought in to get rid of the images, and has now been assigned as PVS-07’s researcher henceforth.

"So. Much. PORN...! How horny WERE those students?!” - Dr. Packard

Noted Behavior and Abilities

- PVS-07’s physical hardware consists of an electric blue CRT computer monitor and its accompanying console. These are to be plugged in at all times with the exception of cases where she needs to be relocated to another area of the facility. PVS-07 is normally located in the Rec Room of the facility, but shall be brought in to Dr. Packard’s office for testing purposes.

- PVS-07, as noted in her discovery section, has a strong disdain and aversion to explicit material that’s downloaded or browsed on her system. The normally jovial and polite subject becomes noticeably frustrated upon this activity. She has also expressed annoyance toward a song about the subject from the musical Avenue Q. As such, SafeSearch and filters have been implemented. Staff or subjects that are caught doing these kinds of activities with the subject are to be properly reprimanded.

- The subject behaves similar to that of a virtual assistant, being able to interact with and manipulate the programs on the computer such as the email, calendar, to-do lists, documents, etc. 

- The subject has been shown to use emoticons displayed on her screen, and the screen of her computer, to express her emotions. 

- The subject has also been able to view and with games, music, literature, and other things downloaded onto the computer. PVS-07 has also been noted to frequently request things to be downloaded for her, likely for entertainment purposes. Dr. Packard has been seen bringing in new games from their home to download onto the subject’s system. 

- Dr. Packard has been instructed that the games and media on her system shall only be those considered “family friendly”, and to leave the more “mature” games at home. This restriction was implemented after Dr. Packard brought in their copy of Duke Nukem 3D, which, upon PVS-07 seeing the objectionable and risque content present within the game, was very displeased. This restriction shall also apply to the rest of Staff and subjects. 

- Subjects such as PVS-13 (“August”), PVS-29 (“Finn”), PVS-46 (“Zester”), are to be at least 6 feet away from PVS-07’s computer. Due to risk of short-circuiting, causing seizure-like symptoms in the subject. 

- PVS-07 has developed a close relationship with PVS-05 (“Vee”), despite not being biological related, they have come to see each other as siblings. PVS-07 especially considers PVS-05 a “kindred spirit”. 

-In the case of a blackout or emergency shutdown, the flash drive in the console shall be removed and transferred over to a laptop. The flash drive was implemented to preserve the subject’s existence in case of these events. 

-After an incident where PVS-07 became infected with a computer virus, anti-virus software has since been implemented into her system. Staff and Subjects were also given a lecture in the auditorium to teach/remind them of computer safety in order to prevent future incidents both to the subject’s computer and the rest of the computers in the facility.

Amazonas lawmakers amend ‘Anti-LGBT’ law after activist pressure

On December 13 of this year, the Legislative Assembly of Amazonas (Aleam) approved an amendment to Article 7 of Law 7.127/2024, which originally prohibited the reproduction of “content that portrays children associated with homosexuality in digital media, television, and cultural or artistic presentations.” The second vote occurred after pressure from activists, who submitted complaints to both the Amazonas State Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-AM) and the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPF).

The author of the original proposal is state representative Carlinhos Bessa (PV-AM). Speaking to CENARIUM, Bessa stated that the inclusion of the term “homosexuality” in the law had “slipped through unnoticed” and affirmed his support for the LGBTQIA+ community in Aleam. The representative also authored the new bill to amend the existing law.

The original text, which included the word “homosexuality,” was filed in the Legislative Process Support System (SAPL) on February 7, 2023, and took 533 days to be approved in the House plenary on August 13, 2024. Before reaching the plenary, the bill underwent review by committees such as the Constitution, Justice, and Citizenship Committee (CCJ), which is responsible for assessing the constitutionality of parliamentary proposals.

Defending the original proposal, the representative claimed—without presenting data—“that in the case of children, the State is often called upon to intervene, through the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which monitors cases where minors are either active or passive subjects.”

Switchgear for Solar and Wind Projects in Bahrain: What You Need to Know

As Bahrain intensifies its commitment to renewable energy, solar and wind power projects are gaining momentum across the Kingdom. The nation’s Vision 2030 emphasizes sustainable growth, and this includes an ambitious target of generating 10% of electricity from renewable sources by 2035. As developers and investors gear up for this energy transition, one component plays a critical role in ensuring system safety, reliability, and efficiency — switchgear.

In this article, we explore why switchgear is crucial in solar and wind power systems, the specific requirements in Bahrain, and how to choose the right solution for your renewable energy project.

What is Switchgear and Why Does it Matter?

Switchgear is a general term covering a wide range of electrical devices used to isolate, protect, and control electrical circuits. It includes circuit breakers, fuses, relays, disconnectors, and load break switches.

In renewable energy systems, switchgear ensures:

· Safe disconnection of faulty or overloaded circuits

· Protection against overcurrent, short-circuit, and earth faults

· Efficient control and monitoring of power flow

· Coordination with grid and off-grid systems

Renewable Energy Growth in Bahrain

Bahrain’s sunny climate and strong coastal winds make it an ideal location for solar PV and wind power installations. Recent government initiatives — such as the Net Metering Scheme, Tendered Renewable Projects, and Green Building Regulations — are creating opportunities for both utility-scale and distributed renewable energy systems.

However, environmental factors such as high temperatures, humidity, and dust pose challenges for electrical equipment, particularly in outdoor solar and wind sites. This makes the right choice of switchgear even more important.

Key Switchgear Considerations for Solar Projects

In photovoltaic (PV) installations, switchgear must be compatible with DC (direct current) as well as AC (alternating current) systems. Here are specific points to consider:

1. DC Switchgear for PV Arrays

· DC Disconnectors: Isolate individual PV strings for maintenance or emergency shutdowns.

· DC Fuses and Circuit Breakers: Protect cables and components from over currents.

· String Combiner Boxes: Integrate multiple PV strings and incorporate protective devices.

2. AC Switchgear for Inverter Output

· Low-Voltage Circuit Breakers (AC): Used between inverters and transformers or grid connection points.

· Load Break Switches: Offer safe disconnection under load conditions.

· Metering and Monitoring Units: Allow real-time tracking of power output and faults.

3. Environmental Protection

· Use switchgear with IP65-rated enclosures to protect against dust and water ingress.

· UV-resistant materials are vital for long-term durability under the Bahraini sun.

Switchgear in Wind Energy Systems

Wind energy systems involve varying voltage levels and require robust protection due to fluctuating wind speeds and mechanical loading. Key switchgear elements include:

1. Medium Voltage Switchgear

· Used for interconnection between wind turbines and step-up transformers.

· SF6 or Vacuum Circuit Breakers: Provide arc quenching and insulation under high voltage.

2. High-Speed Protection

· Wind turbines are sensitive to voltage dips and transients. Fast-acting relays and breakers prevent equipment damage.

· Reactive power control and grid fault detection are integrated into switchgear assemblies.

3. Compact, Modular Designs

· Space constraints inside turbine towers or nacelles demand compact switchgear solutions with modular layouts.

Bahrain-Specific Compliance and Standards

To ensure your switchgear meets local utility and regulatory requirements, consider the following:

· EWA (Electricity & Water Authority) Requirements: All grid-connected systems must comply with EWA’s interconnection standards, including protection schemes and disconnection devices.

· IEC Standards: Switchgear must comply with relevant IEC 60947 (low-voltage switchgear) and IEC 62271 (high-voltage switchgear) guidelines.

· Thermal Rating and Ambient Temperature: Switchgear should be rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 50°C, common in Bahraini summers.

Choosing the Right Switchgear Partner

A successful renewable energy project hinges on choosing a reliable switchgear partner. Look for:

· Local experience in Bahraini environmental and regulatory conditions

· Customizable solutions for both rooftop and utility-scale systems

· After-sales support including spares, maintenance, and system upgrades

· Smart switchgear with digital monitoring for preventive maintenance and remote control

Future Trends in Switchgear for Renewables

As solar and wind systems grow more advanced, so does switchgear technology. Key trends include:

· Digital Switchgear: Real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and IoT integration

· Arc-Resistant Designs: Enhanced safety for personnel in substations

· Eco-Friendly Alternatives to SF6: Adoption of green gases and air-insulated switchgear

· Hybrid AC/DC Systems: With growing battery storage and hybrid plants, switchgear must handle both current types seamlessly

Hello 🎬👋!! Haha, I’m glad you enjoyed the thoughts, I loved these so much! Thank you!

LMAO I think a few of them would have real good taste in song titles, but others… not so much 😅 I actually think Yuno would have some pretty solid ideas. Though Haruka has some nice thoughts too, I heard both his titles are specific plays on words that I don’t think he’d come up with himself…

Omg yes! The prisoners would have such a good time planning mv outfits! I can definitely see it being bittersweet for Fuuta – exasperated by, but also homesick because, they all remind him so much of his sister ;-; Mahiru is devastated she's not getting a new outfit for I Love You and so she enjoys styling vicariously through helping the others. Shidou’s outfit was even more painfully Dad before the group helped tone it down. Before the mv color scheme was decided, they cycle through a few different colored marching band uniforms for Amane. Muu doesn’t quite understand the flower dress, but the team promises her it will all come together to look great.

>:O The birthday art can be au canon!! The previously mentioned fashion crew makes everyone dress up like their cake, and designer Mikoto photoshops them into a pic of it aww. Even after watching the t1 videos, it would be the nicest they've seen everyone get dressed up. They're shocked seeing the boys clean up so nicely in their suits, and the girls are just shining in their fancy dresses and heels. And maybe Es’ “birthday” pic was a pre-experiment candid shot of them chillin with the bunny off set :’)

On a slightly darker note, I wonder if those pv shots of the restraints are canon too. Milgram had a few ideas for worst-case restraints and took a few shots for reference during an early fitting…

ADFGGH rip Haruka 😂😂😂 I love the idea of a whole group of them sneaking around looking for tasty goo and fun props, and instead stumbling upon The Mannequin Room. And waait I'm so emotional over Kazui loosening up and having a bit of fun with his tricks :’D With all the themes about certain characters growing up faster than they should, it would be so lovely to see them giggling and messing around in a blooper reel! I’m imagining someone trying to twirl Amane’s baton as well as her and epically failing at it.

Yeah, I have a lot of different predictions for Amane’s t3 changes – but no matter what happens, she starts accepting help just a little bit more behind the scenes >:) It’ll still take her a really long time to break away from the cult’s beliefs (no one in the cast/team really knows proper cult deprogramming strategies at this point, but they start looking into it as soon as the experiments ends.) Still, she finds a balance of keeping most of her religion and also realizing that the others genuinely care for her. 

And oooh I really like that 👀 I always pictured the prisoner Es hints to be leading toward them being a prisoner in the future (accused of executing prisoners), but that would add so much more drama if it relates to a past imprisonment. The ten would make a perfect heist team, hacking the system, snooping around, and charming facility members in order to find paperwork detailing past experiments featuring Es. And Kotoko would certainly be leading the investigation – I love how closely she’s monitoring everything, it would fit so well if she were the one to see the truth first. Between the realization that Milgram hasn’t been fully honest, and the threat that Es may be there for even longer, the jailbreak would erupt much quicker than the current timeline. Although the au is nicer overall, I really like keeping Milgram a pretty shady organization hehe

picked up this Panasonic PV-DF2035 for $50 the other day @_@ ... they go online for upwards of $200 on Ebay and other reselling sites. i drove 4 hours to get it and it was worth it for sure!!! its got a built in dvd/vhs player and both work flawlessly, the screen looks great too. theres a little bit of wear and some surface scratches on the casing but thats to be expected for a tv from (i think) 2004/5. it didn't come with a remote but i ordered a replacement already and it should be here by next week.

it's been on my list for years to get an old CRT and set up my wii and eventually replace my n64, so it feels nice to finally have part of it done. i know its just nostalgia bait that retro gamers want CRTs and other ols monitors for older systems rather than emulating on new hardware, but i really am so excited that i got such a good deal.

Understanding Solar Panel Inverters: Types and Functions

The solar power industry has grown tremendously over the past few decades and is expected to continue growing at over 6% CAGR by 2032. This growth has significantly impacted the solar panel inverter market, which is projected to grow at a 7.7% CAGR over the same period. As a result, solar power stocks have seen a substantial increase. In this article, we'll explore the types and functions of solar panel inverters, a crucial component of any solar power system.

What is a Solar Panel Inverter?

Solar panels consist of silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into electrical energy. However, the electricity produced by solar panels is in the form of direct current (DC), which is not suitable for home appliances. Home appliances require alternating current (AC), where the flow of electricity reverses periodically. This is where solar panel inverters come in—they convert DC electricity into AC electricity.

To clarify, DC electricity flows in a single direction, making it efficient for transferring power over short distances without significant losses. However, for practical home use, AC electricity is necessary due to its ability to travel over longer distances with less energy loss. The solar panel inverter acts as an intermediary, converting DC from the solar panels to AC for use in the home or office. Additionally, in an on-grid solar system, the inverter connects the solar panels to the local electricity grid, allowing for net metering and storing excess energy in batteries.

Why is an Inverter Necessary in Solar Power Systems? Solar panel inverters perform several essential functions that make them crucial for any solar power setup:

Converting DC to AC: The primary function of a solar inverter is to convert the DC electricity produced by solar panels into AC electricity, making it usable for home appliances.

Monitoring Solar Panel Performance: Most solar inverters come with built-in monitoring capabilities, allowing you to track the amount of electricity being converted and identify any issues with the solar panels. This feature helps ensure optimal performance and identify potential problems early.

Connecting to the Grid: Inverters connect your solar system to the local utility grid, enabling you to sell excess electricity back to the grid for a credit or financial return. This connection also allows you to draw electricity from the grid when your solar panels aren't producing enough power, ensuring a reliable power supply.

Optimizing Solar Panel Efficiency: Some inverters, such as power optimizers, help maximize the efficiency of each solar panel. Factors like shading, orientation, and debris can cause individual panels to produce different amounts of electricity. Power optimizers adjust the output of each panel to ensure a consistent flow of electricity from the entire array.

Protecting Your Electrical System: Solar inverters also play a protective role by preventing electrical overloads and short circuits. They have built-in safety features that shut down the system in case of overvoltage or other electrical issues, protecting your home and solar investment.

Types of Solar Panel Inverters

There are three main types of solar panel inverters commonly used in residential systems:

String Inverters: This is the most traditional type of solar inverter, similar to a centralized air conditioning system. All solar panels are connected in series to a single inverter. String inverters are most effective in situations where all panels receive equal sunlight without shading. However, if one panel is shaded or malfunctioning, it can reduce the output of the entire system.

Microinverters: Microinverters are installed on each individual solar panel, allowing for more precise energy conversion and monitoring. This setup is ideal for installations where panels face different directions or are prone to shading.

Power Optimizers: Power optimizers combine the benefits of string inverters and microinverters. Each panel is equipped with an optimizer, which adjusts the output to match other panels before sending the DC electricity to a centralized inverter for conversion to AC.

Conclusion Solar panel inverters are essential for converting the DC electricity generated by solar panels into AC electricity suitable for household use. They also play a vital role in monitoring system performance, optimizing efficiency, connecting to the grid, and protecting your electrical system. Choosing the right type of inverter—string inverter, microinverter, or power optimizer—depends on your specific needs, including your budget, site conditions, and energy goals.
