Energy storage technologies (ESTs) mitigate the problem by storing excess energy generated and then making it accessible on demand. While there are various EST studies, the literature remains isolated and dated. The comparison of the characteristics of ESTs and their potential applications is also short. This paper fills this gap. Using selected criteria, it identifies key ESTs and provides an updated review of the literature on ESTs and their application potential to the renewable energy sector. The critical review shows a high potential application for Li-ion batteries and most fit to mitigate the fluctuation of RESs in utility grid integration sector.

(ECN/CNRS), 44321 Nantes, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-189-526-7901 Received: 17 October 2018; Accepted: 19 November 2018; Published: 3 December 2018 Abstract: Mass-produced, off-the-shelf automotive air compressors cannot be directly used for boosting a fuel cell vehicle (FCV) application in the same way that they are used in internal combustion engines, since the requirements are different. These include a high pressure ratio, a low mass flow rate, a high efficiency requirement, and a compact size. From the established fuel cell types, the most promising for application in passenger cars or light commercial vehicle applications is the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), operating at around 80 ◦C. In this case, an electric-assisted turbocharger (E-turbocharger) and electric supercharger (single or two-stage) are more suitable than screw and scroll compressors. In order to determine which type of these boosting options is the most suitable for FCV application and assess their individual merits, a co-simulation of FCV powertrains between GT-SUITE and MATLAB/SIMULINK is realised to compare vehicle performance on the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) driving cycle.

Needless to say, the plane’s fligHt endurance and carrying capacity would fall dramatically. • This estimate assumes the A-29’s PT-6 turboprop has a thermal efficiency of about 35%--less than half the R1T’s likely capacity to convert fuel into actual propulsive energy.

NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government. As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and applied research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303.

  • Calculating Spray Application Information
    Calculating Spray Application Information Knowing how your sprayer is calibrated is critical if you want to determine spray application information for a specific pesticide in a sp ecific field. T his factsheet will deal with the math required to determine specific spray application information. In addition to sprayer output (L/ha or gal/acre) it is critical to know the area of the field you wish to spray, the amount of product required per unit area (kg/ha or L/ha) and the water capacity of your sprayer. By knowing these variables the amount of product that needs to be added to a tank full of water and the number of tank loads that will be applied to that field can be determined. This can be critical, as it allows the applicator to mix only the amount of product needed, saving dollars and the environment. Many producers like to work in imperial units. This can create challenges as all pesticide labels are written in metric units. T his exam includes a conversion sheet which will help producers work with the units they are most comfortable with. That being said, if you are working in metric or imperial units the principles for determining spray application information is the same. Caution: When converting from imperial to metric or vice-versa, be very careful when rounding numbers as errors can cause changes to application rates and lead to either loss of pest control or potential crop damage. When a sprayer is calculated we know the sprayer output (Volume/Area; ie. 200 L/ha) and the spray tank capacity (Volume; ie.
