The Role of Energy Storage with Renewable Energy Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, have variable and uncertain (sometimes referred to as “intermittent”) output, which are unlike the dispatchable sources used for the majority of electricity generation in the United States. The variability of these sources has led to concerns regarding the reliability... Learn More

Air Cooled Absorption for Power Applications Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems are widely used in the U.S. in industrial and institutional applications, but are relatively uncommon in commercial-building applications. Air-cooled lithium bromide (LiBr)-water absorption chillers offer a lot of potential; however, technical barriers to air-cooled operation exist, such as the increased tendency for LiBr... Learn More

Fire Suppression System: Operation and Maintenance The objective of ITM for fixed fire protection systems is to assure that the systems will function on demand. RCM analysis identifies any defects responsible for system malfunction and how they can be detected and corrected before a fire. A byproduct of RCM analysis is a list of ITM... Learn More
