The carbon footprint of a product or service is the quantity of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions that it releases into the atmosphere over its entire life cycle. Carbon footprints are usually calculated using a method known as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and are measured in gCO2eq/kWh. These CO2 emissions can either be direct-arising …
The need for utility companies to migrate to smart grids was kickstarted by the growth of renewable energy sources that needed grid connectivity in remote places. To maintain market agility, utilities had to adapt to increase their focus on value-added services to monitor, control, and manage customer energy needs. Sierra Wireless has published a report …
Concentrated solar power (CSP), is a solar-powered system in which high-temperature fluids are used with steam turbines to produce electricity. Early small-scale applications of CSP mainly involved its use for the pumping of water, however, since the mid-1980s several large-scale power systems with a power output of up to 80 MW have been built. CSP …
