Energy Technology

The Essential Guide to Electrical Energy and Renewable Sources Electrical energy powers the modern world. It results from the flow of electric charge. Electrons typically move through a conductor like a wire. Electrical energy is a secondary energy source. We generate it by converting primary sources. These sources include fossil fuels, nuclear power, wind, and…

Understanding Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for modern electric grids. They use large groups of batteries to store electrical energy. This technology offers the fastest response time on the grid. BESS moves from standby to full power in under one second. This quick action handles grid issues instantly….

Solar Power: The Ultimate Guide to Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Concentrated solar power (CSP) collects solar heat. It uses mirrors to focus sunlight onto a receiver. We also call this concentrating solar thermal. This intense heat creates electric solar power. CSP helps with many uses, like cooking or desalination. How CSP Generates Electricity The concentrated…

The Power Revolution: Understanding Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) A stable, reliable electric grid is essential for modern life, and increasingly, that stability relies on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Also known as battery storage power stations or battery grid storage (BEGS), a BESS uses a large collection of batteries connected to the grid to…
