The Pastore Power House is the primary elecrical provider for the facilities operated by the State of Rhode Island in the city of Providence. When in island mode, the Power House is 100% self-sufficient. The Power House provides reliable energy and a stable electrical grid in addition to heat recovery steam generation (HRSG). The facility utilizes one Centaur 40 gas turbine generator set with ...
Project Demonstrates High Potential for CHP in Food Processing Industry . Frito-Lay North America, Inc., a division of PepsiCo, installed a combined heat and power (CHP) system at its food processing plant in Killingly, Connecticut, in 2009. The installation was supported by a state grant under Connecticut's Energy Independence Act, which encouraged businesses and government agencies to install ...
What size solar system would be ideal for my home? And more importantly, the solar inverter size? We want to assure you that you are not alone in this dilemma. Every second person struggles to find the perfect solar inverter for their home After all, the inverter is the heart of your solar system; it converts the DC electricity produced by panels into usable AC for home and business. So, it ...
Located in Boca Chica, a municipality of Santo Domingo, this project was initiated by the government of the Dominican Republic to address the increased need for on-demand peaking and emergency energy. This 190 MWe open cycle thermoelectric power plant consists of ten Power Generation Modules, PGM 130, powered by the Titan 130, and two Titan 250 gas turbine generator sets operating on natural gas, ...
Aqua Power, an independent power producer, needed to quickly replace expensive diesel power for Dangote Cement, the largest cement production plant in Tanzania. The cement plant was commissioned in 2015 and was forced to run on emergency diesel generators due to limited grid power (18 MW) and poor infrastructure (33KV, ...
Maktinta completed a comprehensive energy retrofit for student housing in Cotati, CA, a facility serving UC Sonoma students. The project aimed to significantly reduce the building's CO2 footprint by integrating both solar thermal and solar PV systems. The advanced solar thermal installation efficiently provides domestic hot water to the building, while the 50 kWp solar PV system actively reduces ...
This 2,560-square-foot off-grid commercial solar installation in California is a prime example of renewable energy solutions for factories and businesses looking for self-sufficient solar energy systems. Constructed from eight 40-foot container boxes, the facility is designed for versatility and sustainability, featuring a 720-square-foot medical lab, a full kitchen, showers, office space, a ...
Santa Cruz, California, enhancing sustainability and reducing operational costs: Solar Thermal System: This system comprises 18 flat-plate solar thermal panels paired with a 1,200-gallon storage tank, supplying domestic hot water to meet the needs of hotel guests and ...
Everything You Need to Design, Install, and Maintain a Reliable Off‑Grid Energy Solution In an era defined by energy independence and resilience, off‑grid power systems have become more accessible—and essential—than ever before. Whether you’re building a remote cabin, powering an agricultural outpost, or simply ...
In an era defined by climate urgency and mounting energy demands, lithium‑ion batteries have emerged as a linchpin technology—bridging the gap between intermittent renewables and reliable power access. From remote villages to sprawling urban centers, these versatile storage systems underpin electric vehicles, stabilize electrical grids, and ...
The inverter’s MPPT stage optimizes PV output before using it to power loads, charge batteries, or export to the grid. Why it matters: Without MPPT, a PV array may operate far from its optimal voltage, wasting potential energy. ...
Optimize your off-grid or backup power setup with practical sizing guidance As solar installations become more accessible and homeowners seek energy independence, one question often arises: “How many solar panels will reliably recharge my 48 V lithium battery bank?” Whether you’re powering an off-grid cabin, ...
Battery Discharge Mode: When solar output drops below load demand (evening or cloudy days), the system automatically draws from the battery. Grid Outage Mode: The backup panel disconnects from the grid and draws exclusively from battery power. ...
The main advantage of using VFDs in overhead cranes is that they allow for more precise control of speed and load handling, leading to significant improvements in energy efficiency.Frequency control works by converting the alternating current (AC) from the power supply into direct current (DC) and then back into AC at a frequency tailored to the motor’s needs. ...
From construction sites to mining operations, these pumps are indispensable for ensuring efficiency and productivity. However, certain applications, especially those in remote or off-grid locations, require more specialized solutions that can function without access to an electrical power grid. This is where ...
Understanding Electrified RTG Cranes Electrified RTG cranes replace diesel generators with electric power sources, either through grid connections or battery systems. The two primary approaches to RTG crane electrification include: E-RTG (Electric RTG): These cranes draw power directly from the grid via cable ...
The rise in electricity costs and the push toward renewable energy have sparked an increasing interest in solar power in Pakistan. However, the decision to switch to solar isn’t just about embracing a greener lifestyle—it’s also a significant financial investment. Choosing the right solar company can make all the difference in terms of cost savings, energy efficiency, and ...
