Engineers built a solar-powered desalination system that produces large quantities of clean water despite variations in sunlight throughout the day. Because it requires no extra batteries, it offers a ...

For years, solar power at home was mostly limited to people who owned their rooftops and could afford the steep upfront costs. But now, a new generation of small, affordable systems — often called ...

WASHINGTON, DC, August 14, 2008 (ENS) - Trying to resolve technical difficulties that still prevent greater integration of solar energy into the nation's power grid, the U.S. Department of Energy has ...

Electrical power systems (EPS) are a critical component of small satellite missions, ensuring the reliable generation, conversion, storage and distribution of energy in a compact, mass‐ and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Coastal cities, farms, and industries need both fresh water and electricity to function. These essential resources typically require separate, energy-intensive systems to produce ...

BROOMFIELD, Colo., August 11, 2025 – MMA Space has developed a low-cost solar array capable of generating tens of kilowatts that can be manufactured in a fraction of the time of conventional solar ...

MIT engineers have built a new desalination system that runs with the rhythms of the sun. The solar-powered system removes ...

Various power-generating system methods 2 can be applied to space-based electrical power subsystems (EPS) to power spacecraft (Fig. 1). CubeSat designers need to contend with thermal design, payloads, ...

Electrical power system (EPS) designs for NASA’s spacecraft have a powerful and essential subsystem that surrounds the electrical power generation, storage, and distribution. It encompasses a large ...

Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to ...
