Sampling is a technique in which samples are drawn at random (without any favor or bias). For this, suitable measures or procedures may be laid down and adopted according to the nature and configuration of parts under inspection for ensuring complete randomness in sample selection. The term sample implies a subset chosen from the population. […]

Microgrids Provide Reliable Power During Emergencies and Help Decarbonize the Grid

Credit to Author: Aaron Larson| Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2023 17:58:17 +0000

Microgrids are localized power grids that can be disconnected from the traditional grid to operate autonomously. Because they are able to operate while the main grid is down, microgrids can strengthen resilience and help prevent grid disturbances. They also function as a reliable resource for faster system response and recovery. Microgrids enable the integration of […]

Solar Energy Caught in Crosshairs of New Legislation

Credit to Author: Contributed Content| Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2023 15:29:05 +0000

The solar power industry seems to be caught in the crosshairs of competing legislative agendas. The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created incentives to increase solar capacity via tax credits, but the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) limits the effectiveness of those credits by restricting the importation of any goods that were mined, produced, […]

DOE Breaks Ground on Next-Generation Concentrating Solar Power Pilot

Credit to Author: Sonal Patel| Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2023 01:25:58 +0000

The Department of Energy (DOE) has broken ground on the Generation 3 Particle Pilot Plant (G3P3), a novel concentrating solar power (CSP) facility at Sandia National Laboratory that will use sand-like ceramic particles instead of molten salt to produce and store high-temperature energy. When completed in 2024, the “multi-megawatt” solar thermal pilot project will utilize an existing […]
