A transformer monitoring solution is used for monitoring the health of transformers. A monitoring solution helps the end-users to detect and identify any failure in the transformers before it occurs and reduces the cost involved in repair. Utility, Energy and Power, and Oil and Gas industries are the major end-users of these systems.

Ultrasonic cleaning equipment is a device that uses ultrasound and appropriate solvents to clean complex and delicate items. Ultrasonic cleaning technology uses cavitation and momentum transfer in a liquid medium with frequencies above the human audible limit. It is an -efficient, flexible, durable method of cleaning compared to conventional cleaning methods. This type of equipment has the capability to remove complex contaminants without causing any damage to the surface of the object. The equipment is used across various industries including Healthcare, Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, and Electrical and Electronics.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Solar Tracker market for the period 2013-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the installation of solar trackers. A detailed study of the geographical segmentation is presented in the report, and the revenue, installed capacity, and growth patterns of solar trackers are also provided. The report also discusses the major products (singleaxis and dual-axis trackers) and technology (PV, CSP, and CPV) based on revenue. In addition, it presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the three major vendors in the Global Solar Tracker market. However, the report does not provide the market shares of the vendors; it merely lists the key vendors in the market. In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the market. It also outlines the challenges faced by vendors and the market at large, as well as the key trends that are emerging in the market.

A lead acid battery is an electronic storage device that contains lead electrodes along with diluted sulfuric acid that acts as an electrolyte. Each cell in a lead acid battery generates power of around two volts. Though lead acid batteries have very low energy-to-weight and energy-to-volume ratios, they have the ability to supply high surge current. Surge current is the maximum current consumed by an electrical device when it is switched on. This feature of lead acid batteries combined with their cost-effectiveness is driving the demand in the Global Lead Acid Battery market.

Homewares include utility or supporting products used by individuals to perform their daily household activities such as cooking, cleaning, lighting, and furnishing. They are also used to maintain the décor of a home. Homewares include home hardware products such as cutlery, glassware, crockery, kitchen utensils, and rubbish bins, home textile and soft furnishing products such as bedding, cushions, mattresses, parasols, and door mats, window dressing products such as curtains, curtain poles, hooks, and rails, and lighting products such as light bulbs, lamp shades, and lamp stands.

The Global Microturbine market is driven by several factors. One of the major drivers in this market is the rising global energy demand. The increasing demand for energy across the globe has a positive influence on the demand for microturbines, which is expected to continue during the remaining years of the forecast period. Another major driver is the increasing demand for electricity from off-grid areas.

Wind energy has mushroomed into a mature and booming global green business while generation costs have fallen dramatically. Modern wind turbine technologies have been improved significantly in their power rating, efficiency and reliability. Global wind energy capacity is up to 196.6 GW at the end of 2010. This Chapter covers 1. mathematical models for wind turbines such as wind turbine (WT) with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and WT with direct-drive permanent magnet generator (DDPMG); 2. small signal stability analysis and nonlinear control using power electronic back-to-back converters, which are very similar to those of UPFC and VSC HVDC; 3. dynamic equivalent modeling of wind farms; 4. and wind farm interconnection with power grid via VSC HVDC link.

This report summarizes the experience and early results from a fuel cell bus demonstration funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the National Fuel Cell Bus Program (NFCBP). A team led by the Northeast Advanced Vehicle Consortium and UTC Power developed a next-generation fuel cell electric bus for demonstration. A total of four buses are being operated in service by Connecticut Transit in Hartford. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has been tasked by FTA to evaluate the buses in service. This report documents the early development and implementation of the buses and summarizes the performance results through May 2012.
