which tells us that you can't get any more energy out of something than you put into it. If you have a steam turbine that's 100 percent efficient, it converts all the energy in the incoming steam into mechanical energy in the turbine (in other words, kinetic energy in the wheel that...
As a result, losses owing to steam leakage through the gaps in the blade apparatus were decreased, and the turbine became simpler and more efficient. Classification. Steam turbines are usually divided into three basic groups, depending on the character of the thermal process: once-through ...
First, it provides insight in what could be a more efficient allocation of renewable energy production facilities (Rodman and Meentemeyer, 2006). Second, because the effects of wind turbines and solar farms are local, the effect on house prices is indicative that the burden of renewable energy...
"We trust GE… will help us turn current energy transition challenges into the opportunity to drive carbon emissions reduction in the energy sector through the deployment of new flexible, much more efficient… gas-fired plants to substitute for older, less efficient units" ...
In practice, however, because new turbines are more efficient and operate more of the time, a 13MW offshore turbine can actually make enough power for about 12,000 homes. [2]In theory, you'd need 1000 2MW turbines to make as much power as a really sizable (2000 MW or 2GW) coal-...
New gas power plants under construction must be designed for future conversion to burn hydrogen blends up to 100% during their operational lifespan. This requires cost-efficient provisions for later retrofit to hydrogen. By future-proofing natural gas fired power plants, they will be well-equipped...
Geothermal systems are becoming an increasingly important source of clean and, above all, baseload-capable energy. But the wells, which can be several thousand meters deep, are risky, and things can sometimes go wrong. Fraunhofer ...
Finding an efficient way to address complex dynamics and transients, and various sources of uncertainties of the real problems by physical models is sometimes challenging. However, owe to advances in analytical models and stochastic modelling techniques, improved and reliable physical models are the ...
Wind turbines are efficient sources of cheap energy but also a source of concern as their huge spinning blades (叶片) frequently kill birds and bats. A new type of wind generator developed in Spain offers a creative solution to that problem. ...
Despite the support for the research, development, and production of this tidal power generator, there are significant concerns with how far the technology can be efficient as a replacement for fossil-fuel reliant power. "There are definitely pluses to tidal energy, but also signif...
