IBERDROLA at the forefront of wind energy in Spain, with an installed capacity of over 5,500 megawatts The company has started to build the El Candal wind farm, which will have an installed capacity of 38 megawatts and is due to be commissioned in the coming year IBERDROLA’s wind power projects in the Principality [...]
When New Yorkers head to the southern tip of Manhattan and turn their gaze toward the southwest, they look directly at the Statue of Liberty, the emblem of the metropolis. And by the end of 2011, if they look right behind it to New Jersey, they will see the first Leitwind wind turibne in the [...]
RWE Innogy Aersa, the Spanish subsidiary of RWE Innogy, has acquired a 47.5% stake in the Spanish wind farm operator Explotaciones Eólicas de Aldehuelas, thus increasing its overall share in the company to 95%. Explotaciones Eólicas de Aldehuelas owns and operates a wind farm with an installed capacity of 47.2 megawatts in the Spanish region [...]
Nordex USA, Inc. has recently announced a new order from developer WKN USA, LLC, a BayWa Group Company, for its 30 MW Mozart Wind Farm. The 12 Nordex N100/2500 wind turbines on 80 meter towers will be located about 60 miles northwest of Abilene, Texas, in an area that led the country in wind energy [...]
Nordex has now passed a major milestone towards the series production of the N117/2400 onshore turbine: On 16 December 2011, it installed the first version of this model at the “Stadum” citizens’ wind farm in Schleswig-Holstein. With a rotor diameter of 117 metres and a rotor sweep of 10,715 square metres, the N117/2400 is the [...]
Definition Of Exciton: An exciton is a bound state of an electron and hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force. It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle that exists in insulators, semiconductors and some liquids. The exciton is regarded as an elementary excitation of condensed matter that can transport energy without [...]
Multiple exciton generation (MEG), or carrier multiplication, involves the generation of multiple electron-hole pairs from the absorption of a single photon. MEG may considerably increase the power conversion efficiency of nanocrystal based solar cells, though harvesting the energy may be difficult because of the short lifetimes of the multiexcitons. More Info: Multiple Exciton Generation in [...]
