Utility power plant generators are usually designed for a power factor (PF) of .8 to .9. If demand-side PF is lower than the designed PF, the generator current will rise above the equipment's rated ...

Duct burners use supplementary firing to increase the heat energy of a gas turbine’s exhaust, making it possible to increase the output of a downstream heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Early ...

Imagine that you have a voltage source in series with some source resistance feeding power to a variable load. The relationship between load voltage, load current, and cell current can be drawn as ...

Across the U.S., new AI-driven data centers are causing a significant increase in power demand. Carbon Direct projects that data center capacity in the U.S. will grow from roughly 25 GW in 2024 to 120 ...

Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

It is interesting to look at figures from the Energy Information Administration about where energy gets consumed in our economy. These figures reveal that industrial uses account for 31% of all energy ...

In 2018, data center power consumption as a whole reached a total of 205 TWh, almost 1% of the global electricity supply, 1 solidifying their fundamental role in the worldwide network infrastructure ...
