A Different Energy stands as a testament to the enduring wisdom and strength of Caribbean women. It sounds a call for a more diverse, inclusive and equitable development of one of the world's most male-dominated domains: the oil and gas industry.Over the last decade, as global energy has become hyper-focused on the Southern Caribbean, the role and opinions of local women have too often been overlooked. In this compelling, first-of-its-kind book, award-winning lawyer-turned-writer Celeste Mohammed remedies that omission.In powerful, eye-opening portraits of eight Trini, Surinamese and Guyanese women who are employed in the Caribbean oil and gas industry, Mohammed uses a range of styles to keep the gender conversation refreshingly candid, often humorous, and always thought-provoking.With a voice both earnest and confiding, intellectual and intimate, this book's commentary and analysis extract from the women's stories lessons for any woman seeking to defy odds, shatter stereotypes, and forge paths in a business culture which underestimates her.

Tackling energy inverter ponders includes utilizing the abilities of cutting edge energy inverter innovations to change and upgrade energy use. Energy inverters assume a critical part in the cutting edge energy scene, working with the change of electrical energy between various structures and making it conceivable to coordinate environmentally friendly power sources into existing power frameworks flawlessly.One of the vital marvels of energy inverters lies in their capacity to change over direct current (DC) into rotating current (AC) as well as the other way around. This change is fundamental for different applications, particularly in sustainable power frameworks where sunlight based chargers and wind turbines produce DC power. Energy inverters empower the reconciliation of this sustainable power into the ordinary AC network, guaranteeing a smooth and productive progression of power.Sustainable power frameworks, for example, sun oriented photovoltaic (PV) establishments, frequently experience changes in energy creation because of atmospheric conditions. Energy inverters address this test by giving matrix solidness through advancements like Most extreme Power Point Following (MPPT). MPPT advances the energy reaping from sunlight powered chargers by changing the electrical working point to extricate the most extreme power accessible, much under shifting daylight conditions. Moreover, energy inverters add to matrix flexibility by supporting functionalities like islanding. In case of a matrix blackout, certain high level inverters can detach from the network and keep on driving nearby loads, framing a microgrid. This ability is especially significant for upgrading the unwavering quality and versatility of energy frameworks, guaranteeing persistent power supply in basic circumstances.The marvels of energy inverters additionally reach out to the domain of energy stockpiling. Related to batteries, inverters empower the productive stockpiling and recovery of power, adding to the developing significance of energy stockpiling arrangements. This is especially important in dealing with the discontinuous idea of environmentally friendly power sources, permitting overabundance energy created during busy times to be put away for use during times of low energy creation. Shrewd network combination is one more exceptional part of saddling energy inverter ponders. High level inverters furnished with correspondence abilities can effectively take part in framework the executives. They can give continuous information, answer network signals, and even add to lattice solidness through functionalities like responsive power control. This association improves the general productivity and dependability of the power lattice.

L'energia, intesa nella sua totalità e complessità ossia sottoforma di struttura sociopolitica ed economica, è talmente pervasiva nella vita di tutti da essere il banco di prova della maturità di un ragionamento olistico.Purtroppo, i tentativi di semplificazione, attuati da più parti, portano ad un vero e proprio tradimento della natura dell'energia.Questo libro, di per sé scomodo e spiazzante, avrà la finalità di rimettere al loro posto l'ideologia e la strumentalizzazione, riportando l'energia nel suo contesto naturale.

In the last few decades, energy usage and demand has been increased by many folds due to rising population growth and the industrial revolution. According to the recent United Nations report, the current world population 7.7 billion, and it may reach to 8.6 billion in the year 2030 and 9.8 billion in the year 2050. So, there is an ever-increasing energy need in the coming years, due to population growth and the industrial revolution. However, due to the increasing living standards of the population in developing countries, the energy requirement will get doubled in the next few decades. At present, nearly 80% of the global energy demand is met from fossil fuels, which are the non-renewable energy source and it leaves behind carbon footprints after usage, causing environmental pollution and climate change. On the other hand, the usage of fossil fuels emits carbon -based greenhouse gases upon usage. In the past few years, CO2 emission from fossil fuels has increased drastically, causing environmental pollution and climate change. There is an urgent need for developing materials and technologies to combat the dangerous emissions of CO2 from industrial sectors such as power generation plants, cement production, petrochemical production, aluminium, steel and plastic manufacturing industries.Hence the upcoming energy shortage and the rising concern over climate change, there is an urgent need to find clean energy alternatives. Owing to the serious concern over climate change due to the increasing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel usage, environmentally friendly renewable energies are the prime choice for satisfying our future energy needs. Renewable energies on the other hand are inexhaustible and are decentralized (can be produced anywhere locally). Renewable energy is the growing energy source around the world, accounting for 40% of the increase in primary energy by 2030. Renewable energies such as solar, tidal and wind energy provide intermittent supplies of electricity, while options for large-scale storage of electricity and transportations are limited. With the rise in energy demand, energy conversion and clean energy storage technologies has become the essential approaches for the global community.
