This brochure was created for my Intermediate Graphic Design class as San Jose State University. Students had to focus on a specific part of renewable energy and explain it in a brochure. I chose to focus on the many types of turbines used with renewable energy. While the Energy Foundation is a real foundation, they did not sponsor this class assignment.

An important part of livin’ the pirate lifestyle be about being ready, ready for anything and everything. One of the most important parts of the home power system is the inverter. Renewable energy systems, solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries are DC. To run standard AC devices you must convert the electricity from DC to AC using an Inverter. Inverts come in different power sizes and different wave qualities. You select yours depending on the load requirements you have. Simple devices can run on low quality simple square wave or mid-quality stepped square wave electricity. Most things, like computers need cleaner electricity. Today you can get a pure sine-wave inverter without breaking the bank. Something to keep in mind is you will be limited by your battery bank. Keeping the math simple, to increase the voltage from your batteries 12 volts to standard outlet 120 volts you multiply the device amp draw by …
Transformer Stations for Renewable Energy | Made in Germany
The German government has announced an ambitious plan to bring 10000 wind turbines along the North and Baltic Sea coasts online by 2030, in order to help meet Germany’s energy needs. But the construction of those turbines is a major task, and the work is taking longer than expected.Two giant converter platforms to facilitate power transport are now being built in a shipyard in Wismar. It’s the only place where there is enough room to install the high-tech, 18-meter platforms. Made in Germany reporter Claudia Laszczak visited a shipyard in Wismar where two new converter platforms are under construction. That means big contracts and big business for ship-builders, techonlogy providers and grid operators. But many wind park builders aren’t getting enough money to fund their investments – which means the transition to renewable energy could come to a standstill.

The Homeowner’s Guide to Renewable Energy: Achieving Energy Independence Through Solar, Wind, Biomass, and Hydropower
The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy: Achieving Energy Independence Through Solar, Wind, Biomass, and Hydropower
Energy bills have skyrocketed in the United States, and traditional energy sources can be as damaging to the environment as they are to your pocketbook. The Homeowner's Guide to Renewable Energy will show you how to slash your home energy costs while dramatically reducing your carbon footprint.
Completely revised and updated, this new edition describes the most practical and affordable methods for making significant improvements in home energy efficiency and tapping into clean, affordable, renewable energy resources. If implemented, these measures will save the average homeowner tens of thousands of dollars over the coming decades.
Focusing on the latest technological advances in residential renewable energy, this guide examines each alternative energy option available including:
- Solar hot water and solar hot air systems
- Passive and active solar retrofits for heating and cooling
- Electricity from solar, wind, and microhydro
- Hydrogen, fuel cells, methane digesters, and biodiesel
This well-illustrated and accessible guide is an essential resource for those wanting to enter the renewable energy field. Packed with practical tips and guidelines, it gives readers sufficient knowledge to hire and communicate effectively with contractors and is a must-read for anyone interested in saving money and achieving energy independence.
Dan Chiras is the author of twenty-nine books on residential renewable energy and green building and the director of The Evergreen Institute's Center for Renewable Energy and Green Building, where he teaches workshops on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and green building.
Renewable Energy: Single-Axis Tracker
NMSU Professor Thomas Jenkins shows an example of a larger, more sophisticated, solar array system with a single-axis motorized tracker and discusses the potential applications. This system is equipped with a computer that knows the movement of the sun relative to location and time of year. It controls the motor so that the solar panels are adjusted every few minutes to receive the maximum amount of direct sunlight throughout the day.
