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. Cost of electricity by source - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

   The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...

7. Microgeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgeneration

   For wind and solar energy, the actual production is only a fraction of nameplate capacity. [30] Fuel based systems are fully dispatchable; Solar panels are simple and reliable, they can provide a little electricity at a reasonable cost. generally more flexible supply within the limits of local transmission as long as the grid is effectively ...
