…air conditioning energy performance are through higher COPs, improved home insulation, and smart controls to optimize cooling. Efficiency gains are particularly helpful to smooth out increasingly volatile grids (best note…
…are also reduced by 30-50%. (2). Smart maintenance of equipment can be achieved by greater monitoring. For instance, the Ivar Aasen sends data back to shore, in real time, on…
…Finally it illustrates the need for smart grid and power electronics technologies. Our cleaned-up interpretation of the raw data, some analytics, averages, and charts are available in the data-file. The…
…to the grid through flywheels, supercapacitors, synchronous condensers, batteries, smart energy. Our grid models reflect growing demand for infrastructure in all of these categories. (11) Reactive power compensation. Apparent power…
…a Thunder Said Energy research note. By definition, the goal is to help a busy person, get smart on a specific question, in a way that helps them and saves…
…we created a data-file assessing the costs and benefits of different options. The most cost-effective way to lower home heating bills is smart thermostats. They can cut energy use c18%….
…renewables with CHPs, PCMs and smart energy systems. If you read one research note into a non-obvious opportunity, we recommend this deep-dive below into additive manufacturing, which will re-shape every…
…hour-by-hour data from 2020. EV charging and smart energy systems screen as the best new opportunities. Gas-fired backups also remain crucial to ensure grid stability. The outlook for grid-scale batteries…
…software-side. This includes smart features allowing operators to control the way batteries are balanced. The technology also tracks whether batteries are still covered within warranty, on systems envisaged to have…
…the energy transition. But how can industrial processes truly be ‘powered by solar’? Buffering the volatility creates opportunities for gas and nuclear back-ups, inter-connectors, supercapacitors, smart energy and power electronics?…
