Don’t Forget the UPS! Why Electrical Contractors Should Include Backup Power in Projects
The power grid isn’t as reliable as it used to be. Extreme weather events such as the 2021 Texas deep freeze and a string of hurricanes and nor’easters along the eastern seaboard have caused major power outages, sometimes lasting multiple days. In California, utilities have to shut off power when winds could knock out transmission lines to avoid wildfires. Adding to the challenge, ...

Which is more efficient solar or wind energy?
Before we start our reasoning, we'd like to remind you that both are renewables, and therefore both are great energy options to turn to to improve our planet and to break our addiction to oil and gas. Today we will try to answer a question that we often ask ourselves when we are interested in renewable energies : between solar and wind energy, which is the most efficient? First, let's take a ...

Flexible Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
The essence of combined heat and power technology, over recent decades, is to provide continuous supplies of electricity and heat. This is done at the highest levels of fuel efficiency – typically reaching around 90% – meaning that this has lower carbon emissions than grid-supplied electricity. Historically thermal power plants supplying the grid rarely had heat recovery. Compared to ...

Distribution Sector Reforms – Time is no Longer a Luxury
The Covid-19 pandemic brought the power distribution sector to a tipping point—reform or perish. On the demand side, the shifting of demand load patterns across consumer categories impacted the revenues of distribution companies (Discoms) because of reduced commercial and industrial demand. On the supply side, the increasing quantum of renewable energy from solar and wind tested the ...

Should you Clean Dirty Solar Panels to Increase Energy Output?
Dirty solar panels are a common dilemma for residential and large-scale solar installations of photovoltaic panels (solar panels). Typically, dirt from air pollution, agriculture, construction, and unpaved roads accumulates on the panels. The dirtier the solar panels are —the lower the electricity they will produce. But the question remains, are the benefits of regularly cleaning dirty ...

New national lab reports: Rapid growth expected for grid-scale U.S. storage capacity
Energy storage has rapidly evolved from a niche application just a few years ago into an increasingly cost competitive and fast-growing technology that complements wind and solar. And two new national lab reports find storage growth is poised to explode. Grid-scale U.S. energy storage capacity could increase five-fold by 2050 according to the latest report from NREL’s Storage Futures Study ...
