Small Modular Reactors and Microreactors: A Review of Safety, Economics, Regulation, and Environmental Impacts in Energy Transition
SMRs aim to replace traditional carbon-based fuels, aiming to reduce the negative environmental impacts that these fuels cause. This paper evaluates their safety, economics, regulatory frameworks, and environmental impacts based on recent articles and developments.
Connecting distributed energy resources to central control
For more than a century, electricity has flowed in one direction: from large central power plants, down transmission lines and into homes and businesses. That model is breaking down.
How UHPC Accelerated Research on Degradation Trends in LFP Cells: A Case Study with Eniko Zsoldos, PhD and Dalhousie University
Using ultra-high precision coulometry measurements and various other methods, Eniko and the team demonstrated that the commonly assumed robustness of LFP may not hold under certain operational windows.
Energy Storage Technology: A Vital Component of a Modern Power Grid
With enough energy storage on the grid, we will no longer have to size infrastructure to the highest peak. We can reduce system inefficiencies, improve utilization of assets, and lower the cost to the ratepayers.
Battery Powered Generator vs Solar Powered Generator: What is the Difference?
Learn the key differences between battery and solar powered generators, their pros and cons, and which option best fits your home or off-grid backup power needs.
Renewable Grid Integration
Ensuring grid stability with high levels of IBRs is a growing technical challenge. Traditional grids derived strength and inertia from big spinning generators, but when those are replaced by solar inverters and wind turbines, the system behaves differently.
Recent Progress in the US EV Industry: Greener and Safer EV Battery Technologies
