A major hospital that treats critically ill patients cannot afford power failures. Facing intermittent power problems - and needing to replace old boilers -the 536-bed University of Illinois Hospital installed a 24 MWe cogeneration system for its campus in Chicago. Powered by three (3) Taurus 70 natural gas turbine generator sets, the system fulfills 100 percent of campus power needs in winter ...
Beginning in 2021, a large colocation data center (colo) in Ireland had their local electrical utility severely limit new grid connection permits. The site had a power utility connection agreement in place for only part of their necessary campus demand. The utility advised of the potential for a new connection, but not until ...
The Loe Bar in Cornwall is a shingle and flint bank that separates the sea from Loe Pool, presenting an unusual set of challenges in both flood risk management and environmental protection. In the following article, Rob Rhyder from NIVUS will explain how a bespoke monitoring solution was developed for the Environment Agency (EA) to meet the specific requirements of this unique location. ...
Yet burning fossil fuels remains the leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions, pushing average global temperatures upward and intensifying extreme weather. Renewable sources—solar, wind, and hydropower—offer clean generation but suffer from variability: clouds, calm winds, or dry seasons can curtail output. ...
Precise Runtime Calculations and Practical Insights with RICHYE Batteries Planning an off-grid cabin, RV excursion, marine voyage, or a reliable backup system begins with a fundamental question: how long can your battery bank run under real conditions? Paralleling four 12V 100Ah lithium batteries creates a 12V 400Ah bank, but runtime depends on more than just multiplying numbers. This article ...
In an age where reliable electricity isn’t just a convenience but a necessity, power outages can be more than a minor nuisance—they can disrupt work, jeopardize food safety, and even pose safety risks. For homeowners, businesses, and remote properties alike, solar battery backup offers a compelling solution: an eco-friendly, self-sufficient system that keeps critical loads running ...

Project Overview The installation utilized AccuSolar’s advanced floating solar platforms, which feature large, stable float sections and integrated aluminum walkways for enhanced safety and ...
The Town of Caledon, self-proclaimed “Greenest Town in Ontario,” demonstrates its commitment to sustainability through successful energy management initiatives that have reduced consumption and costs while preserving its heritage and fostering community progress ...
As winter is approaching and already knocking at our door, the debate over solar panel working during winter has already begun. Well! Before digging into any confusion about the efficiency and working of solar panels in colder seasons, it’s important to understand that solar panels do not produce electricity by capturing heat from the sun. In fact, they only require sunlight to ...
Quantum dots are tiny particles or nanocrystals of semiconductor material with diameters in the range of 2-10 nanometers (10-50 atoms). Their optical and electronic properties differ from those of larger particles. A quantum dot is a semiconductor nanostructure that confines the motion of conduction band electrons, valence band holes, or excitons in all three spatial directions. Many types of ...
When installed on rooftops or ground mounts, these panels harness the sun’s energy to generate power for your home or business. But how long can you expect solar panels to last in Florida’s sunny yet sometimes challenging environment? ...
The question of whether solar panels increase a home’s value is increasingly relevant for homeowners today. Many wonder if installing solar panels can genuinely enhance the resale value of their property and how much savings they can expect from residential solar systems. Let’s explore these questions in detail. ...
This type of meter is particularly suitable for hybrid energy systems, such as those with traditional grid power and renewable energy sources (such as solar, wind, etc.), as well as diesel power generation.The following are some characteristics of dual source energy meters:Multi channel metering: The dual source energy meter has two independent metering channels, ...
PG&E is at it again. Californians are stuck with the highest energy costs in the United States - by far. Rates have risen on average +20% in just the last few months! ...

Net metering is an effective resource usage and expenditure billing arrangement that allows users to generate their own energy and receive compensation for it in their finances. Specifically, net metering is provided by the power company and allows energy consumers who generate extra power using renewable energy sources such as solar panels to feed that excess back into the grid. In a net ...
