Oak Ridge TN (SPX) Dec 23, 2024 - Throughout the United States, more than 100 million buildings tap into electrical energy to keep heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration units functioning. HVAC systems cause most of the peak load demand on the electric grid; one way to alleviate the grid burden is to develop new storage options for heating and cooling.

As a partner in the Department of Energy's Stor4Build Consortium, Oak Ridge National Laboratory is co-leading research with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory... Читать дальше...

How everyday activities inside your home can generate energy

Energy-daily.com 

College Station TX (SPX) Dec 23, 2024 - Passive interfaces, such as light switches or doorknobs, refer to hardware that can store energy, but the energy can only be used for the purpose it was intended. However, research is imagining new ways for that energy to be harvested and adapted - turning your doorknob could power your alarm system or opening your freezer could turn on your kitchen light.

By integrating smart capabilities such as sensing and energy harvesting, Dr. Jeeeun Kim is transforming... Читать дальше...
