Rotational Kinetic Energy as Power System Service: Assessing The Role of Wind Farms

submitted by: RASEIBoulder
Summary: The electric power system is currently composed of generators with large spinning masses whose speeds are tightly coupled together. These masses offer a store of rotational kinetic energy that naturally gives inertia to the average speed of the system. This inertia offers a first line of defense that is tapped during sudden power imbalances. Installing a large fleet of wind farms will result in hours of the year when many traditional generators are turned off. The result may be a...

Galileo parla chiaro

submitted by: pesco
Il cortometraggio vuole mettere in rilievo il valore letterario, oltre che scientifico, dell’eredità di pensiero di Galileo Galilei. L’accento è posto sull’innovazione formale di una lingua vicina all’uso comune, più accessibile rispetto al latino dei dotti del passato, ma anche rispetto ai tecnicismi ed ai termini gergali dell’informazione di oggi. Il nostro lavoro vuole, altresì, presentare un modello di adolescente critico, curioso e felice dei suoi studi, consapevole...

Investigating Structure Variation of Electrode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries

submitted by: RASEIBoulder
Summary: Improving energy density, power density, cycle life and safety and decreasing cost of current Li-ion batteries are highly desirable for the applications of advanced portable electronic devices, electrical tools, electrical vehicles, storage batteries for renewable energy, and stationary batteries for smart grids. Understanding lithium storage mechanism and structure-property relationship across length scales are essential for rational design of new materials. Here we report our...
