Over 90% of all electrical energy used in transportation and in heating and cooling originates from thermal processes. Even small efficiency improvements in the control and conversion of thermal ...

Worldwide many thermal industries are working without tapping the valuable waste heat into a useful form. Electricity is one of the most extensively used commodities in the world. The existing and ...

OTEC technology is now close to practical application with potential projects like Global OTEC's commercial-scale generator planned for 2025. The technology exploits the temperature difference between ...

Researchers in Brazil found that retrofitting commercial PV panels into PVT systems can boost total efficiency to around 46–50%, but added thermal resistance limits heat extraction and slightly ...

A British clean-energy company has completed a critical offshore installation in the Canary Islands for a floating platform ...

A project to deploy a 1.5-MW commercial-scale ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) platform in the African island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe by 2025 has gained a key design certification. The ...

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, has intensified the demand for flexibility in modern energy systems.

While the spotlight shines on air-source heat pumps and solar photovoltaics (PV), when it comes to delivering a reliable, renewable alternative for water heating here is a quiet overachiever that ...

EPRI, in collaboration with Southern Company and Storworks, has recently completed testing of a pilot concrete thermal energy storage (CTES) system at Alabama Power’s Ernest C. Gaston Electric ...
