“The use of waste heat for power production would allow additional electricity generation without any added consumption of fossil fuels,” said Bruce E. Logan,…
The onshore location offers wind conditions comparable to offshore sites. The two ultra-modern wind turbines are equipped with direct-drive generators and…
Landfill gas sourced from landfill sites and sewage treatment plants can also be burned in combined heat and power plants and used for energy purposes in place…
Each year, the more than 2 million tractor-trailer trucks that cruise America's highways consume about 36 billion gallons of diesel fuel, representing more…
Historically, a major drawback to the use and cost-effectiveness of alternative energy systems has been that they are too variable – if the wind doesn’t blow…
The new method can be used in harvesting energy from mechanical vibrations of the environment and converting it into electricity. Energy harvesters are needed,…
We are all familiar with the hassles that accompany air travel. We shuffle through long lines, remove our shoes, and carry liquids in regulation-sized tubes….
Technology developed by Siemens for this has now passed its field test, which was conducted on a chain of sensors spread out along a length of five kilometers…
After successful testing, grid operator TenneT and Siemens have now initiated the trial run of the BorWin2 direct current link. After several weeks of trial…
With its network of 11 partners, covering the entire North Sea Region (N, SWE, DK, GER, NL, BE, UK), the international consortium and contributed to a better…
In the project “SpeedColl“ accelerated ageing test procedures for thermal solar collectors and their components are developed. This joint project is being…
An ambitious research project which will be funded by the European Commission, BEST PATHS, will focus on the development of high-capacity transmission networks…
Until now, scientists had just an average view of energy conversion efficiency in nano-devices. For the first time, a more complete picture has been described…
A*STAR researchers are helping to advance the development of hydrogen-powered cars by producing innovative materials that could make on-board hydrogen…
University of Utah engineers developed the first room-temperature fuel cell that uses enzymes to help jet fuel produce electricity without needing to ignite…
