Learn MoreIslands located far away from the mainland and remote communities depend on isolated microgrids based on diesel fuel, which results in significant environmental and cost issues. This is currently being addressed by integrating renewable energy sources (RESs). Thus, this paper discusses the generation planning problem in …
Learn MoreMicrogrids commonly range in size from 100 kilowatts (kW) to multiple megawatts (MW), typically enough to serve a group of residential or office buildings, or a manufacturing facility. In New York City, for example, Enel X installed a microgrid at a housing complex of 625 units in the Brownsville area, which combined a 400 kW photovoltaic solar power …
Learn MoreIn addition, you can dive deeper into solar energy and learn about how the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Energy Technologies Office is driving innovative research and development in these areas. Solar Energy 101 Solar radiation is light – also known as
Learn MoreCSP generation, sometimes known as solar thermal power generation, is much like conventional thermal power generation that converts thermal energy (steam) into electricity. However, Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels differ from solar thermal systems in that they do not use the sun''s heat to generate thermal power, instead they use …
Learn MoreIn a nutshell, solar panels generate electricity when photons (those particles of sunlight we discussed before) strike solar cells. The process is called the photovolatic effect. First discovered in 1839 by Edmond Becquerel, the photovoltaic effect is characteristic of certain materials (known as semiconductors) that allows them to …
