Introduction The wind energy sector has seen tremendous growth and innovation over the past few decades. From modest beginnings in the 1990s, where wind turbines produced a mere 0.5 MW of power, today’s turbines are capable of generating over 10 MW. Despite these advancements, the voltage output of wind turbines remained at 33 kV for many years. However, a significant shift occurred in 2017 ...

Clean, sustainable, and renewable energy is a hot topic. Our world runs on energy and our production and use of energy shouldn’t put us or future generations in harm’s way. Society has responded to increasing power demands with technology such as nuclear fission. Fission splits uranium into smaller elements and releases large amounts of energy used to heat water in nuclear reactors ...

To put it simply, it’s the heat beneath our feet. Did you know that at its core, the earth is roughly as hot as the surface of the sun? About 4,000 miles down, the earth’s molten core is over 6,000°C (or 10,800°F). That heat isn’t disappearing anytime soon – thanks to the continuous decay of naturally occurring radioactive elements which generate roughly 30 ...

For decades, everything we’ve known about geothermal potential has been modelled on a map that shows available resources in some parts of the world, but not others. We need to change that mindset and make people aware that we’re standing on vast resources of geothermal heat, wherever we are in the world. When it comes to geothermal, there are hurdles in people’s minds. They ...

Operators of anaerobic digestion (AD) plants know how important it is to optimise energy use across all stages of the process. That is why many recapture as much heat as possible for reuse elsewhere, including from the hot exhaust gases generated by the combined heat and power (CHP) engines which turn the biogas from the AD plant into useful heat and electricity. Heat exchangers used for exhaust ...

Since the early twentieth century, geothermal energy has been used to produce electricity. In the 1980’s and 90’s, rapid expansion in the demand for geothermal energy put pressure on suppliers to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. Now geothermal energy production is becoming a common practice around the globe. One of the largest energy companies in Turkey is blazing the trail ...

Heat exchangers are not only one of the most common pieces of equipment found on industrial sites, they are also one of the most important. Despite the name, heat exchangers are used for both heating and cooling and are actually used more often for cooling, especially on industrial sites such as refineries or processing plants. These pieces of equipment are not “one size fits all.” In ...
