The Dalles hydroelectric plant is the powerhouse of The Dalles Lock and Dam, a federal dam on the Columbia River in Oregon completed in 1957 with a 2,080-megawatt capacity.
The Geysers
The Geysers is a vapor-dominated geothermal steam field in the Mayacamas Mountains of Northern California, the largest geothermal power complex in the world, producing electricity commercially since 1960.
The Geysers (geothermal field)
The Geysers is a vapor-dominated geothermal field in the Mayacamas Mountains north of San Francisco and the largest complex of geothermal power plants in the world.
The Nuclear Power Group, Ltd.
The Nuclear Power Group (TNPG) was a British consortium formed in 1960 that designed and built first-generation nuclear power stations in the United Kingdom and Italy.
Theodore Rockwell
Theodore Rockwell, known as Ted Rockwell, was an American nuclear engineer who served as technical director of Admiral Rickover's Naval Reactors program, co-founded MPR Associates, and edited the Reactor Shielding Design Manual.
Thermal break
A thermal break is a low-conductivity material inserted between interior and exterior metal parts of a building component, such as a window frame, to block heat conduction.
Thermal bridge
A thermal bridge is a localized area of a building envelope with higher thermal conductivity, typically a balcony slab or steel beam penetrating the insulation layer.
Thermal delamination
Thermal delamination is a recycling process that uses heat to break the adhesive bonds in photovoltaic modules so glass, silicon cells, and metals can be recovered.
Thermal depolymerization
Thermal depolymerization is a thermochemical process that uses heat, often with pressurized water or catalysts, to convert biomass, plastics, and organic waste into hydrocarbon oils.
Thermal energy storage
Thermal energy storage (TES), also called a thermal battery, stores heat or cold in a medium and releases it on demand for heating, cooling, or power generation.
Thermal mass
Thermal mass is a material's ability to absorb, store, and release heat, used in building design through concrete, brick, stone, and water to moderate indoor temperature swings.
Thermal Power Plant No. 4
Thermal Power Plant No. 4 (ДЦС-4) is a coal-fired combined heat and power plant in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and the country's largest power plant, operating since 1983.
Thermal Power Plants Holding
Thermal Power Plants Holding (TPPH) is Iran's state holding company under the Ministry of Energy, headquartered in Tehran, managing thermal plants that supply about 93% of the country's electricity.
Thermal power station
A thermal power station, also called a steam power plant, converts heat from fuel, nuclear reactions, or geothermal sources into electricity, typically via steam driving a turbine and generator.
Thermal Power Stations
Thermal Power Stations are the natural gas-fired plants that generate most of Uzbekistan's electricity, supplying roughly two thirds to nine tenths of national output and now slated for combined-cycle modernization.
Thermal response test
A thermal response test (TRT) is an in situ field test that applies a controlled heat load to a borehole heat exchanger to measure ground thermal conductivity.
Thermal stimulation (geothermal)
Thermal stimulation is a geothermal reservoir enhancement technique that injects cold water so thermal contraction opens rock fractures, boosting well injectivity or productivity up to 40-fold.
Thermal-hydraulic analysis
Thermal-hydraulic analysis is the engineering discipline modeling fluid flow, heat transfer, and their interaction with structures in nuclear reactors, mainly through computer codes like TRACE and RELAP5.
Thermally regenerative electrochemical cycle
The thermally regenerative electrochemical cycle (TREC) is an electrochemical energy-conversion scheme that converts low-grade heat below 100 °C into electricity by charging and discharging a battery-like cell at two temperatures.
Therminol VP-1
Therminol VP-1, also sold as Dowtherm A, is a synthetic heat transfer fluid of diphenyl oxide and biphenyl made by Eastman Chemical, standard in parabolic trough solar plants.
Thermocatalytic decomposition of methane
Thermocatalytic decomposition of methane, also called catalytic methane decomposition or pyrolysis, is a process that splits methane into hydrogen and solid carbon over a catalyst, without forming carbon oxides.
Thermocline storage
Thermocline storage is a single-tank method of thermal energy storage in which hot and cold fluid occupy one insulated vessel, separated by a temperature gradient rather than a barrier.
Thermocline thermal storage
Thermocline thermal storage is a single-tank thermal energy storage design in which hot and cold fluid share one tank, cutting costs in concentrated solar power plants.
Thermoelectric generator
A thermoelectric generator (TEG), also called a thermo-generator, is a solid-state device converting heat directly into electricity via the Seebeck effect, with no moving parts, used in spacecraft RTGs and waste-heat recovery.
Thermoelectric textile
A thermoelectric textile is a fabric with thermoelectric materials that converts body heat into electricity via the Seebeck effect, or in reverse provides heating and cooling.
Thermogalvanic cooling cells
Thermogalvanic cooling cells are electrochemical devices that pump heat through the entropy change of a reversible redox reaction, the electrochemical analog of the Peltier effect.
Thermophotovoltaic heat-battery cells
Thermophotovoltaic heat-battery cells are photovoltaic devices that convert infrared radiation from a hot storage medium into electricity, discharging thermal batteries that store grid power as heat above 1000 °C.
Thermophotovoltaics
Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is the conversion of thermal radiation into electricity using photovoltaic cells, with a hot emitter above 800 °C replacing the sun as the light source.
