Sentences with phrase «generated electricity flowing»

Concern with, and sometimes resistance to, increasing amounts of distributed solar often comes down to how solar - generated electricity flowing IN to the distribution system will affect the lines that have traditionally fed power OUT to consumers.

Not exact matches

Since electricity generated from solar and wind flows into the grid, Google simply has to invest in enough turbines and solar panels to cover its total energy consumption to make good on its goal.

You can also demonstrate flow, pouring, measuring and the turning of water wheels (which later at GCSE then can lead onto generating electricity).

A prototype metal - free flow battery developed by engineer Michael Aziz and colleagues at Harvard University relies on the electrochemistry of naturally abundant, small organic molecules to store electricity generated from renewable, intermittent energy sources.

Renewable sources — such as rooftop solar panels, which sometimes generate more power than a household uses — required a decentralized system in which electricity flows in both directions, from many small generators into the grid, and from the grid to consumers.

Researchers at Harvard, for example, are perfecting an organic flow battery that can store a full day's production of electricity from solar or wind farms, a development that could play a key role in integrating variable electrical generating sources into the grid.

However, infrared energy carries heat, so using it to generate electricity can conflict with a smart window's function of controlling the flow of heat in or out of a building.

For thousands of years, people have used the energy of flowing or falling water for their purposes, first to power mechanical engines such as watermills, then to generate electricity by exploiting height differences in the landscape or sea tides.

When it is sunny outside, the process reverses, and electricity from rooftop photovoltaic cells, which can generate up to 2.6 kilowatts of power at high noon, flows outward.

Other new technologies — such as micro grids that generate and store power for individual neighborhoods and automatic switches that can find open lines when some lines go down — can also help keep the electricity flowing.

When energy is needed, the water is released to flow through turbines, generating electricity.

During the day, when demand for electricity is higher, power will be generated by both the wind turbines and water flowing from the upper reservoir to the lower.

Clean power, already flowing, should be a godsend to a nation that still generates most of its electricity by burning coal.

To salvage some of that energy, the team added a regenerative braking system: when the driver's foot is removed from the accelerator, the electrical connections are reconfigured so that instead of electricity going from the batteries to turn the motor, the motor generates electricity that flows back through the inverter to recharge the batteries.

Electrons flow from the anode to the cathode to generate electricity.

Even if a device with superconducting wires were shielded from magnets, any electricity flowing through the system would generate an unwanted magnetic field.

In the superconducting state, electricity flows with absolutely no resistance, which means no energy is lost and no heat is generated.

As the bacteria eat, they release electrons that flow from an electrode buried in the sediment to one closer to the surface, generating electricity.

The Integrated Cooling Unit offsets the heat generated by the constant flow of electricity to and from the battery pack with an integrated cooling system mounted directly on the battery pack's outer box.

It is one of the few hydro - power stations in Australia to include pumped hydro in which water is pumped from the lower Jounama Pondage to the upper Talbingo Reservoir when electricity is plentiful and cheap, so that it can flow back down through the turbines to generate more electricity at times of higher demand.

The wheel operated a pulley system connected to a dynamo, which generated electricity that flowed to 12 batteries in Brush's basement.

Usually used at time of peak demand or shortage Using river flow Uses the natural flow of water of a river to turn the turbine to generate electricity.

I was able to find a small number of water wheels and turbines that make use only of the stream flow velocity to generate electricity.

The temperature of the heat transfer fluid flowing through the pipe, usually thermal oil, is increased from 293ºC to 393ºC, and the heat energy is then used to generate electricity in a conventional steam generator.
