41thermoelectric power generator — Introduction any of a class of solid state devices (solid state device) that either convert heat directly into electricity or transform electrical energy into thermal power for heating or cooling. Such devices are based on thermoelectric… …
42Outline of energy — See also: Index of energy articles In physics, energy (from the Greek ἐνέργεια – energeia, activity, operation , from ἐνεργός – energos, active, working [1]) is a scalar physical quantity that describes the amount of work that can be performed by …
43Thermal energy storage — District heating accumulation tower from Theiss near Krems an der Donau in Lower Austria with a thermal capacity of 2 GWh Thermal energy storage comprises a number of technologies that store thermal energy in energy storage reservoirs for later… …
44Electrical generator — In electricity generation, an electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, generally using electromagnetic induction. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor …
45Renewable energy commercialization — The wind, Sun, and biomass are three renewable energy sources …
46Deployment of solar power to energy grids — depends largely upon local conditions and requirements. Many industrialized nations are installing significant solar power capacity in their grids as a reliable economic supplement or alternative to other power sources. Long distance transmission …
47Concentrated solar power — The PS10 Solar Power Plant concentrates sunlight from a field of heliostats onto a central solar power tower. Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems use mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, onto a… …
48Community solar farm — A community solar farm or solar garden is a solar power installation that accepts capital from and provides credit for the output and tax benefits to individual and other investors. The power output of the farm is credited to the investors in… …
49The Solar Project — The Solar Projects Solar One, Solar Two and Solar Tres are power plants based on solar thermal energy in the Mojave Desert and Spain. Solar One Solar One was a pilot solar thermal project built in the Mojave Desert just east of Barstow, CA.It was …
50Nevada Solar One — is a concentrated solar power plant, with a nominal capacity of 64 MW and maximum capacity of 75 MW spread over an area of 400 Acres. The projected CO2 emissions avoided is equivalent to taking approximately 20,000 cars off the road annually. The …
