RENEWABLE SOURCES-ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Today, LED lighting takes precedence over classic energy-saving light bulbs, as well as incandescent light bulbs, but there are still a number of doubts that have arisen from their objective differences compared to old light bulbs. About LED lighting The abbreviation LED stands for "light emitting diode", which is a semiconductor element that transmits current in only one direction and illuminates with electricity. LEDs convert most of the energy into light and therefore consume significantly less energy for lighting. With classic incandescent bulbs, energy is converted into heat, and the incandescent bulb emits light and therefore they consume as much as 80% more energy than LED lighting. LED technology was very quickly recognized as a real revolution in the field of lighting and that is why it has become the standard today. (LED Light Bulbs 60W Equivalent)   It is also used in the car industry. Due to a number of advantages over previous forms of lighting, LED lightin...

Smart plugs are the first easy step into home automation.  (Residential Wiring and Smart Home Technology) Smart home technology is becoming more and more popular day by day, and a large number of brands are slowly launching devices that can help you save time, power consumption, and even improve security inside the home. One of the hit products in this fast-growing sector is the so-called smart plug.   What is a smart plug?   It is a small plug that you plug into a standard socket and then simply plug your device into.  Figure 1- Smart plug You don't have to have anything but a router and a smartphone to install them - devices that can be found in more or less every household. With a smart plug, you take control of devices in the house by sending commands remotely. A cheaper smart plug costs about twenty dollars, and all devices also work with most home assistants like those from Amazon or Apple. The smart plug therefore plugs into a standard socket and c...

How much electricity the solar power plant produces depends not only on the geographical location, the quality of the selected equipment, the quality of installation, but also on the correct orientation (azimuth) of the solar panels and their slope, as well as potential shading.   (Photovoltaic Solar Energy: From Fundamentals to Applications) The production of electricity in solar power plants requires as much solar radiation on the surface of solar panels. Throughout the year, depending on the season, different solar radiations alternate on the surfaces. The more south-facing the solar panels are, the higher the production will be.   ( A new dimension for solar energy- click here) To some extent, the slope of the panel affects the increase in production from the summer to winter months, while the orientation to the east or west can affect the production during the day, thus increasing the production in the morning or evening. However, for fixed angle installed modules, th...

  Real  electricity  production of  solar power plants is the best indicator for determining its profitability and potential construction of other solar power plants. In this post, an analysis of the technical and economic profitability of built micro and mini solar power plants is given. ( A new dimension for solar energy- click here) TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF SOLAR POWER PLANTS IN THE MUNICIPALITY TESANJ   In the area of the Municipality of Tesanj has long been in use four solar power plants are connected to the associated electrical distribution network, which generated electricity sold at subsidized price.  (Photovoltaic Solar Energy: From Fundamentals to Applications) Estimated production of electricity per 1 kWp of installed capacity in the area of the Municipality of Tesanj program PVGIS is 1,120 kWh ( fig.1), the optimal angle setting panel is 32 degrees with the orientation of the north-south axis (azimuth 0)....
