2. Solar updraft tower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower

   The solar updraft tower ( SUT) is a design concept for a renewable-energy power plant for generating electricity from low temperature solar heat. Sunshine heats the air beneath a very wide greenhouse-like roofed collector structure surrounding the central base of a very tall chimney tower. The resulting convection causes a hot air updraft in ...

3. Hybrid power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

   Hybrid power system. Hybrid systems, as the name implies, combine two or more modes of electricity generation together, usually using renewable technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbines. Hybrid systems provide a high level of energy security through the mix of generation methods, and often will incorporate a storage system ...

4. Vortex Bladeless - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_Bladeless

   Technology. Vortex Bladeless is a vortex-induced vibration resonant wind generator, in contrast to horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) and vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) that work by rotation. Vortex's innovation comes from its unusual shape and way of harnessing energy by oscillation; fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforced polymer mast ...

5. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

   A stand-alone power system ( SAPS or SPS ), also known as remote area power supply ( RAPS ), is an off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. Typical SAPS include one or more methods of electricity generation, energy storage, and regulation. Electricity is typically generated by ...

6. Distributed generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_generation

   Distributed generation from wind hybrid power systems combines wind power with other DER systems. One such example is the integration of wind turbines into solar hybrid power systems, as wind tends to complement solar because the peak operating times for each system occur at different times of the day and year.

7. Grid-tie inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid-tie_inverter

   Power engineering. A grid-tie inverter converts direct current (DC) into an alternating current (AC) suitable for injecting into an electrical power grid, at the same voltage and frequency of that power grid. Grid-tie inverters are used between local electrical power generators: solar panel, wind turbine, hydro-electric, and the grid.
