Fireland

Fireland wrote: We use thermoelectric devices in fireland technology. The thermoelectric device generates a voltage when there is a different temperature between each side. We use fire and sunshine to heat one side. When a voltage is applied to a thermoelectric device, it creates the temperature difference. We use this effect to cool another side. This difference in temperature will make electric. Our project creates energy from fire, sunshine, and cold. One of the main function of our project is getting energy without damaging the environment. As we get energy from the difference between temperatures we do not damage the nature...

Ancillary services for PV power plants

Conventional power plants are often used to provide ancillary services such as frequency regulation in electricity grids. It had traditionally been thought that large scale solar PV would not be able to perfom stability services in the grid. First Solar have demonstrated that conventional power plants such as coal power plants can be replaced by PV power plants in the provision of frequency regulation. This replacement helps in the reduction of CO₂ emissions by lowering dependence on traditional fossil-fueld power sources.
