Renewable energies are an essential pillar that contribute to making the power supply greener. As a result, greenhouse gas emissions are continuously decreasing in proportion to the increasing share of renewable energies in electricity consumption, and global climate change is being slowed down.
At any moment in time, the consumption of electricity must be perfectly matched with the generation of electricity. This balance is necessary in all electricity grids to maintain a stable and safe supply. Energy storage can stabilize fluctuations in demand and supply by allowing excess electricity to be saved in large quantities over different time periods, from fast storage in seconds to longer storage over days.
Electric vehicle charging stations plug an electric vehicle (EV) to a source of electricity to recharge the EV batteries. Some charging stations have advanced features such as smart metering, cellular capability, and network connectivity. Charging stations - also called electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) - are provided in municipal parking locations by electric utility companies or at retail shopping centers by private companies.
The smart and secure use of existing or new electrical infrastructures make sense from an ecologic and an economic perspective. Even if individual systems and facilities differ among applications, efficient and demand-based use of energy has become an absolute must. Today, the integration in upcoming Smart Grids as well as the preservation of resources and the environment are as imperative as the technical reliability of appliances, equipment, or systems.
A power supply provides electric power to an electrical load. The main purpose of a power supply is to convert electric current (AC or DC) from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. The source power may come from the electric power grid, such as an electrical outlet, energy storage devices such as batteries or fuel cells, generators or alternators, solar power inverters, or other power supply.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) takes its power from two or more sources simultaneously. It is usually powered directly from the AC mains, while simultaneously charging a storage battery. Should there be a dropout or failure of the mains, the battery instantly takes over so that the load never experiences an interruption. Other UPS schemes may use an internal combustion engine or turbine to supply power during a utility power outage and the amount of battery time is then dependent upon how long it takes the generator to come online and the criticality of the equipment served. Such a scheme is found in hospitals, data centers, call centers, cell sites and telephone central offices.
Oil and natural gas are major industries in the energy market and play an influential role in the global economy as the world's primary fuel sources. The processes and systems involved in producing and distributing oil and gas are highly complex, capital-intensive, and require state-of-the-art technology.
The upstream sector is also known as the E&P (Exploration and Production) sector. It consists of processes and operations that involve searching for potential underground or underwater crude oil and natural gas fields, drilling of exploratory wells, and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil and/or raw natural gas to the surface.
The midstream sector is usually combined in literature with the downstream sector. This segment in the supply chain involves the transportation, storage and marketing of various oil and gas products. Transportation options can vary from small connector pipelines to massive cargo ships making trans-ocean crossings, depending on the commodity and distance covered.
When it comes to the downstream sector, it encompasses the refining, processing, distillation, and purification before turning it into usable, sellable, and consumable products e.g., fuels, raw chemicals and finished products etc. All of these services transform crude oil into usable products such as gasoline, fuel oils, and petroleum-based products.
