Dialing up: The concept of dialing down can be reversed for energy savings during the warm months. "Dialing up" is an effective method of reducing the cost of cooling a house with room or central air-conditioning. The same principles apply: The less the temperature differential the air-condit...
Renewable energyWind-based renewable energyEcological footprintEnvironmental sustainabilityRenewable energy sources are becoming increasingly popular since they are less expensive and more effective than conventional energy sources. New green energy technologies, such as wind energy, are mostly used in emerging...
Wind energy harnesses the power of the wind to move wind turbines and generate electricity for its consumers, standing out for its low environmental impact and its capacity to produce energy in remote regions. Hydroelectric power is another clean energy source that is emerging as an efficient and...
transferring some of its own energy of motion to the blade. This is how a wind turbine captures energy from the wind. The same thing happens with a sail boat. When moving air pushes on the barrier of the sail, it causes the boat to move. The wind has transferred its own energy of ...
A positive attitude toward wind energy was apparently entirely eclipsed by the unacceptability of living near WTs. Even though they were proponents of wind energy, they would not accept living near WTs. This result is an example of the NIMBY effect, which has become the topic of a number of...
If you need wind turbine machinery repair, are addressing fire, oil, or mold damage, or require decontamination of your tower’s interior or exterior, we are here to help. Our wind energy services include: Fire, oil, and mold remediation Restoration of all electrical and electronic components ...
There is no shortage of interesting technical ideas, but the process of turning these innovations into scalable businesses is capital intensive and fraught with risk. Significant investment may be necessary before it can be determined that a seemingly promising technology is even...
A reversible fuel cell combines two methods of energy production, uniting one of the previous fuel cell types with a solar or a wind generator. Like all other fuel, it produces energy and water vapor, but the water is then stored for later. During times of high wind or solar activity, ...
Lucia Rahilly:When we’re thinking about the renewable-energy debate, one thing that comes up a lot is variability. The sun doesn’t always shine. The wind doesn’t always blow. What might greater reliance on renewables mean for our power systems?
Battery Energy Storage Systems offer a flexible, cost-effective solution to the key challenges of fast charging: They reduce peak demand and electricity costs They make fast charging possible even where the grid is weak They enable green energy use and improve system reliability The message is ...
