2. Trombe wall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombe_wall

   Trombe wall. A Trombe wall is a massive equator-facing wall that is painted a dark color in order to absorb thermal energy from incident sunlight and covered with a glass on the outside with an insulating air-gap between the wall and the glaze. A Trombe wall is a passive solar building design strategy that adopts the concept of indirect-gain ...

3. Pallet racking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallet_racking

   Pallet rack is a material handling storage aid system designed to store materials on pallets (or “skids”). Although there are many varieties of pallet racking, all types allow for the storage of palletized materials in horizontal rows with multiple levels. Forklift trucks are usually required to place the loaded pallets onto the racks for ...

4. Compressed-air energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed-air_energy_storage

   Compressed-air energy storage. A pressurized air tank used to start a diesel generator set in Paris Metro. Compressed-air energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. [1]

5. Seasonal thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Seasonal_thermal_energy_storage

   Seasonal thermal energy storage ( STES ), also known as inter-seasonal thermal energy storage, [1] is the storage of heat or cold for periods of up to several months. The thermal energy can be collected whenever it is available and be used whenever needed, such as in the opposing season. For example, heat from solar collectors or waste heat ...

6. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage...

   The lake on the mountain is built upon a flat surface, requiring a dam around the entire perimeter. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity ( PSH ), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage ( PHES ), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing. The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential ...

7. Automated storage and retrieval system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_storage_and...

   An automated storage and retrieval system ( ASRS or AS/RS) consists of a variety of computer-controlled systems for automatically placing and retrieving loads from defined storage locations. [1] Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) are typically used in applications where: There is a very high volume of loads being moved into and out ...
