admin-cleanenergybusinesscouncil I. What is Carbon Intensity? Carbon intensity refers to the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced per unit of energy generated or consumed. It is a measure of how much greenhouse gas emissions are released into the atmosphere for each unit of energy produced. Carbon intensity is an important metric for assessing the environmental … Read more
I. What is coolant? Coolant is a substance used to remove heat from a system, such as a nuclear reactor, in order to maintain its temperature within safe operating limits. In the context of nuclear reactors, coolant plays a crucial role in transferring heat generated by the fission process away from the reactor core to … Read more
I. What is an Intermediate Band Solar Cell? An intermediate band solar cell (IBSC) is a type of solar cell that has been designed to increase the efficiency of converting sunlight into electricity. Traditional solar cells, also known as single-junction solar cells, have a limited efficiency due to the way they convert sunlight into electricity. … Read more
I. What is Battery Leasing Model? The Battery Leasing Model is a business model in which consumers lease batteries for their electronic devices instead of purchasing them outright. This model is becoming increasingly popular as a way to reduce the upfront costs of purchasing expensive batteries and to provide consumers with more flexibility and convenience. … Read more
I. What is Biomass-to-Liquid (BtL) technology? Biomass-to-Liquid (BtL) technology is a process that converts biomass, such as agricultural residues, wood chips, or algae, into liquid fuels that can be used as a substitute for traditional fossil fuels. This technology involves a series of chemical reactions that transform the biomass into a liquid fuel that is … Read more
I. What is Cavitation? Cavitation is a phenomenon that occurs in fluid dynamics when the pressure of a liquid drops below its vapor pressure, causing the formation of vapor bubbles. These bubbles then collapse or implode, creating a shock wave that can cause damage to nearby surfaces. In the context of hydroelectric power systems, cavitation … Read more
I. What is an Offtake Agreement? An offtake agreement is a contract between a producer of goods or services and a buyer, typically a utility or large corporation, that guarantees the producer a market for their products. In the context of renewable energy, offtake agreements are commonly used to secure a buyer for the electricity … Read more
I. What is Frequency Regulation? Frequency regulation is the process of maintaining the balance between electricity supply and demand on the grid by adjusting the output of power plants in real-time. This is crucial for ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical grid. Frequency regulation helps to keep the grid operating within a narrow … Read more
I. What is a Fast Spectrum Reactor? Fast Spectrum Reactors are a type of nuclear reactor that use fast neutrons to sustain the nuclear fission chain reaction. Unlike thermal reactors, which use slow neutrons, fast spectrum reactors operate at higher speeds, allowing for more efficient use of nuclear fuel and the ability to breed new … Read more
I. What is Radiation Exposure? Radiation exposure refers to the process of being exposed to ionizing radiation, which is a form of energy that can cause damage to living tissues. Ionizing radiation can come from various sources, including medical procedures, nuclear power plants, and natural sources such as radon gas. When a person is exposed … Read more
