Storage Systems for Renewable Energies Renewable Energies Context An important limitation that renewable energies have is that they depend on natural flows, in other words, their production is not continuous, which is why in many cases they do not fit at the time they are needed. The problem is that for energy to be used, […]
How heat can be used to store renewable energy How can we store energy from intermittent renewable energy sources? The effect that fossil fuels are having on the climate emergency is driving an international push to use low-carbon sources of energy. At the moment, the best options for producing low-carbon energy on a large scale are wind […]
Rain may soon be an effective source of renewable energy A generator can briefly light up 100 LED bulbs with a single drop. There have been numerous attempt to generate electricity using rain, but this may be one of the more effective solutions yet. Researchers have developed a generator that uses a field-effect transistor-style structure to instantly produce […]
Anti-Solar Cells A Photovoltaic Cell That Works at Night What if solar cells worked at night? That’s no joke, according to Jeremy Munday, professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis. In fact, a specially designed photovoltaic cell could generate up to 50 watts of power per square meter under ideal […]
