Substation Monitoring Systems: Monitoring and Controlling Substations in Real Time Using I
A substation is a key component of the power transmission and distribution infrastructure, serving as an intermediary between the high-voltage transmission network and the low-voltage distribution lines that supply electricity to residential and commercial customers. With the rise in distributed energy resources and the increasing complexity of gri
The Promising Future of Hydrogen Vehicles
Hydrogen fuel cells work by combining hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, water, and heat without combustion. Pure hydrogen gas is stored in high-pressure tanks and fed into the fuel cell. Within the fuel cell, a catalyst causes the hydrogen atoms to split into protons and electrons. The protons pass through a thin, solid polymer membrane t
Understanding the Properties and Uses of Lithium Hydroxide
Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is an inorganic compound composed of lithium and hydroxide ions. It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and soluble in ethanol. Chemically, it consists of lithium cations (Li+) and hydroxide anions (OH-). The chemical formula is LiOH and the molecular weight is 23.95 g/mol. In its solid
