A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a device that is primarily used for energy generation. It can also be used as a heat pump. As energy generators, TEGs convert waste heat into electricity. As heat pumps, they transfer heat to a device from one side to the other. Therefore, TEGs are like heat engin...

Syngas is a fuel gas fusion that consists of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. It is an adaptable intermediate used for manufacture of methanol, ammonia, and SNG. The compositions of materials within syngas vary depending leading to the chemical composition of the feedstock. Syngas is formed from several...

Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) systems store energy in the magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a superconducting coil which has been cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconducting critical temperature. The rising concerns regarding climate c...

Lead-acid batteries are rechargeable batteries that contain lead electrodes with diluted sulfuric acid, which acts as an electrolyte. Lead-acid batteries used for stationary applications are known as SLA batteries. Each cell in a typical lead-acid battery generates around 2 volts of power. Though SL...

A combination of diesel engine and an electric generator used to generate electricity is termed as a diesel generator. The diesel generator has an integrated internal diesel combustion engine that ignites diesel fuel and the energy produced is converted into mechanical energy to generate electricity...

An internal combustion engine uses propane gas or natural gas to produce electrical energy that is converted from mechanical energy with the help of generator assembly. Such a generator is called as a gas generator. Generators are used to generate electrical energy from mechanical energy. The source...

Generator Batteries are charged for long periods and deliver high cranking power (starting current). Most of the Generator Batteries are manufactured as sealed and maintenance-free. There is a growing consumer expectation for genset batteries that offer higher power density, longer service lif...

The lighting industry includes general lighting, automotive lighting, and backlighting. General lighting is based on fixed light source installations, which deliver a practical or aesthetic lighting effect. CFLs, LFLs, HID lights, and LEDs are some of the major general lighting products. One t...

LNG is a sustainable alternative fuel for ships and long-haulage trucks. It is also an attractive energy source for industries in areas that are not connected to the natural gas grid. Such applications of LNG are known as small-scale LNG in order to distinguish them from the more conventional use wh...

A silicon anode battery is a type of lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery where the anode is replaced by silicon nanotubes or silicon coating. The idea of using a silicon anode in a battery is still under a lot of testing. This has multiple advantages over ordinary lithium or graphite anodes. The silicon en...

Power modules consist of multiple discrete power semiconductor devices. Power module packages offer higher power density and are more reliable than discrete power semiconductors. Original equipment manufacturers will continue to demand modular power solutions, which can be integrated easily into dif...

HVDC Transmission uses direct current for the bulk transmission of electrical power, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) systems. For long-distance transmission, HVDC systems may be less expensive and suffer lower electrical losses. For underwater power cables, HVDC avoids the ...

A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack), such as by protecting the battery from operating outside its Safe Operating Area, monitoring its state, calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment,...

Based on Battery type, the train battery market can be segment into lead acid battery, nickel cadmium battery and lithium ion battery. Lithium-Ion is expected to be the largest battery type of the train battery market in 2017. The Train Battery market was valued at xx Million US$ in 2018 and i...

Nuclear waste usually refers to materials or residues left after the burning of nuclear fuel in reactors. These residues mainly comprise radioactive materials that can cause acute radiation sickness. The rapidly growing population and the subsequently rising electricity demand, increasing dependence...
