Presenters from the Oct. 13, 2020 webcast “Improve industrial facility energy management: a process-based approach” addressed questions not covered during the live event.
Energy harvester improves wearable electronics potential
An energy harvester has been developed that could make manufacturing embedded wearable electronics a viable reality.
Generating renewable hydrogen fuel from the sea
Membranes originally developed for purifying water in the reverse osmosis (RO) treatment process, commonly used in electrolyzers, are used to remove salt from water to help turn sea water into hydrogen fuel.
Propane storage capacity increased through rail-supplied terminals
Rail terminals save money by minimizing distances and time
LDC Focus: Spotlight on DTE Energy
DTE Gas is taking a unique, holistic approach to achieving its net zero goal by including suppliers and customers on the journey
Designing a microgrid system: Li-ion versus gas generator
Battle of the backup: Evaluating a 1 MW solar PV/natural gas microgrid for firm on-peak power and resiliency
Understanding the growing importance of hydrogen
A look at hydrogen, from generation to blending with natural gas
Atomic dynamics help turn heat into electricity
An atomic mechanism that makes some thermoelectric materials efficient near high-temperature phase transition could help unlock better options for technologies reliant on transforming heat into electricity.
Mirror-like photovoltaics get more electricity out of heat
Heat-harnessing solar cells that reflect 99% of the energy they can’t convert to electricity could help bring down the price of storing renewable energy as heat and improve overall energy efficiency.
Wet electrostatic precipitators are proven for emission control and gas cleaning
Two case studies illustrate the point
