Smart Sensing Brings Risk Prevention to Electrical Panels
In my previous post in my series, I covered the importance of continuous monitoring of electrical equipment to prevent fires and equipment failures – not just to minimize the damage they cause once they’ve occurred. In this post, I’ll be discussing how those monitoring capabilities are getting built “natively” into today’s circuit breakers and electrical panels ...

Do Solar Panels Work in the Winter?
Unless you are from sunny California or one of its neighboring southern states, you have probably wondered if solar panels work in the winter. Good news- solar panels work in the winter since they are still powered by light. They will continue to produce energy if the sun is out even if there 6 inches of snow on the ground. Solar panels are active in most kinds of weather, concluding that energy ...

A Michigan Smart Energy Code
There’s been a lot of controversy about the Green New Deal. While we like some of the “big” ideas in the plan, there are many other smaller, less news-worthy ways that can readily enhance energy sustainability. One way is for individual states to make sure that their building code makes it easy to incorporate new energy innovations. Why? There’s no question that ...

Efficiency analysis of coal-based thermal power generation in India during post-reform era
Coal-based thermal power stations are the leaders in electricity generation in India. This study employs the stochastic frontier production function methodology for panel data to measure the technical efficiency (TE) of coal-based thermal power plants in India during 1994-1995 to 2001-2002. Efficiency varies widely across plants and regions, while the TE is time-invariant. The average TE is ...

Why is my electric bill so high with solar panels?
In theory, solar panels are a great idea. You get them installed, they start to produce electricity and you become energy independent. Goodbye electric bills. Ta-ta surprise energy charges. Adios grueling customer service calls. Well, not quite. While solar panels will absolutely reduce your monthly electricity bill, there's a common misconception that once a solar system is up and running, ...
