Wind Power

This part 1 of our comprehensive 'Scientific Series' covers all aspects of 'Energy Storage' which is required in the process of harnessing energy generated from Wind Power and Solar Power. [ad] ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM Electricity is more versatile in use because it is a highly ordered form of energy that can be converted efficiently into other forms. For example, it can be converted into mechanical form with efficiency near 100 percent or into heat with 100 percent efficiency. The heat energy, on the other hand, cannot be converted into ...

Concentrated Solar Power Systems use concentrated solar radiation as a high temperature energy source to produce electrical power and drive chemical reactions. Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. The concentrated light is then used as a heat source for a conventional power plant or is concentrated onto photovoltaic surfaces. The first recorded use of such a technique was in 212 BC when Archimedes is said to ... Read More
