Wave energy is the ablity to capture the kinetic movement of waves and tide and convert it into electric capacity through mechanical turbine generator. This energy conversion process was first […]
The Department of Energy recently published the details of its initiative to accelerate a beneficial integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the electricity grid. (Thank you, Don Steinke for sharing […]
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional […]
Can hydroelectric dams also efficiently produce electrolytic hydrogen? I was recently asked to comment on this technology, so I thought I would provide more information. Green electrolytic hydrogen and renewable […]
Clark Public Utilities District (CPUD) recently announced that it will be installing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) over the next couple of years. AMI is an integrated, fixed-network system that enables […]
Distributed Energy Resource (DER) refers to smaller generation units that are located on the consumer’s side of the meter. Examples of distributed energy resources that can be installed include roof […]
There have been recent news stories about a supposed slump in the transition to zero-emission transportation—that growth in electric vehicle (EV) sales has leveled off and manufacturers are scaling back plans […]
When thinking of generating solar energy on buildings, most people think of rooftop solar panels—the rectangular, glass modules placed neatly on top of people’s homes. But solar technologies include much […]
Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around […]
