The construction of the photovoltaic power industry since 2000 has required an enormous amount of energy, mostly from fossil fuels.
New and improved technology for measuring power quality in smart grids could save 839,000 tonnes of carbon and bring £250m annually in economic benefit. The technology has been developed by scientists working at the Centre for Carbon Measurement at the National Physical Laboratory.
A large proportion of the energy we produce disappears unused into thin air via waste heat. Tiny thermoelectric generators can tap some of this waste energy, using nothing more than a temperature gradient to produce electricity. Les Hunt reports.
New technology from dimensional non-contact measurement specialist, Scantron Industrial Products has enabled a new level of accuracy in diameter measurement to be attained in the production environment.
Engineers at NACCO Materials Handling Group (NMHG) are using the Delphin ProfiMessage data acquisition system as an integral part of their work testing and refining lift truck technology.
