Renewable energy systems refer to a group of technologies and practices that allow for the generation of energy from sources that are replenished naturally. These sources include solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass. Renewable energy systems aim to provide clean, sustainable, and affordable energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating the impacts of climate […]

Energy Engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the production, distribution, and use of energy from various sources such as fossil fuels, nuclear power, and renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal. It involves the design, construction, and maintenance of energy systems, as well as the development of new technologies to

Detail report on Energy: Solar Panels, Energy Storage Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, convert sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. They consist of a layer of semiconductor material, usually silicon, that absorbs photons from the sun and releases electrons, creating a flow of electricity. Solar panels can be

The tower of a horizontal axis wind turbine provides the support upon which the turbine electromechanical components are held in the correct position to capture the most energy from the wind. For both onshore and offshore wind turbines, the tower must raise the rotor so that its blades are both clear of the ground and clear of any obstacles.

Horizontal axis wind turbines are commonly used for generating electricity offshore. (Haliade-150, with a capacity of 6 MW and diameter of 150 m) during installation. Fig. shows a schematic of a horizontal axis wind turbine. In simple terms, the wind exerts forces on the blades (lift and drag) and turns the rotor. A low-speed shaft

Fluid bearings are noncontact bearings that use a thin layer of rapidly moving pressurized liquid or gas fluid between the moving bearing faces, typically sealed around or under the rotating shaft. The moving parts do not come into contact, so there is no sliding friction; the load force is supported solely by the pressure of the moving
1. Hybrid Vehicles Hybrid vehicles are called hybrids because they use both a small internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor to obtain maximum power and fuel economy with minimum emissions. How they do this varies from one model to another, with varying success. What all hybrids have in common is the ability to generate electric

Introduction A thermal power plant may be a power plant during which heat is converted to electrical power. In most of the places within the world, the turbine is steam-driven. Water is heated, turns into steam, and spins a turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed during a condenser and recycled to where it had been heated; this is often referred to as a
