Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. is a not-for-profit wholesale electric cooperative, incorporated in Colorado in 1952, that supplies power to member utilities in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

Trican Well Service

Trican Well Service is a Calgary, Alberta based oilfield services company and Canada's largest pressure pumping provider, offering hydraulic fracturing, cementing, and coiled tubing services.

Tricastin (Orano plant)

Tricastin is Orano's nuclear fuel-cycle site on the Drôme–Vaucluse border near Pierrelatte, France, home to the Philippe Coste conversion and Georges Besse II enrichment plants.

Tricastin nuclear power plant

The Tricastin nuclear power plant is a French nuclear power station at Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux in the Drôme, operated by EDF with four 915 MWe reactors that entered service in 1980 and 1981.

Trident Intrastate Pipeline

The Trident Intrastate Pipeline is a natural gas pipeline under construction by Kinder Morgan to carry gas about 219 miles from Katy to Port Arthur, Texas.

Tridonic

Tridonic is an Austrian manufacturer of lighting components, including LED drivers, modules, emergency lighting, and controls, headquartered in Dornbirn and serving as the Zumtobel Group's components segment.

TRIGA

TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) is a class of nuclear research reactors made by General Atomics, first critical in 1958 and prized for inherent safety.

Trigeneration

Trigeneration, also known as combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP), is the simultaneous production of electricity, useful heat, and cooling from one fuel input, typically using an absorption chiller.

Trillo nuclear power plant

The Trillo nuclear power plant (Central Nuclear de Trillo) is a Spanish nuclear station on the Tagus River in Guadalajara province, the last to open in Spain, in 1988.

Trimble County power station

Trimble County power station, also called Trimble County Generating Station, is a 2,594 MW power plant near Bedford, Kentucky, on the Ohio River, operated by Louisville Gas & Electric.

Trion (oil field)

Trion (Trión) is an ultra-deepwater oil field in the Gulf of Mexico, discovered by PEMEX in 2012 and developed by Woodside Energy, with first oil targeted for 2028.

Triple glazing

Triple glazing is an insulated window unit with three glass panes separated by two sealed cavities, typically argon filled, reducing heat loss and cutting heating energy in cold climates.

Triple-cation perovskite

A triple-cation perovskite is a metal-halide perovskite for solar cells whose A-site mixes cesium, methylammonium, and formamidinium; introduced in 2016, it became a baseline for high-efficiency devices.

Triple-junction perovskite solar cell

A triple-junction perovskite solar cell stacks three light-absorbing subcells, at least one a metal halide perovskite, to convert more of the Sun's energy than a single junction.

Triplet harvesting in organic solar cells

Triplet harvesting in organic solar cells is the set of strategies for converting spin-triplet excitons into usable charge or energy, most prominently singlet fission, which could let a single-junction cell exceed the Shockley–Queisser limit.

Triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion for photovoltaics

Triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion for photovoltaics (TTA-UC) is a photochemical technique that converts two sub-bandgap photons into one higher-energy photon a solar cell can absorb, first demonstrated in 2012.

Tripoli-Mellitah Gas Pipeline

The Tripoli-Mellitah Gas Pipeline is a 158 km natural gas pipeline in Libya running from Tripoli to the Mellitah complex, operated by Sirte Oil Company.

Tripura Natural Gas Company Limited

Tripura Natural Gas Company Limited is an Indian city gas distribution company, established in 1990 and headquartered in Agartala, that supplies piped and compressed natural gas in Tripura.

TRISO fuel

TRISO fuel (tristructural isotropic fuel) is a nuclear fuel of poppy-seed-sized uranium particles in ceramic coatings that retain fission products and cannot melt in a reactor.

TRISO particle

A TRISO particle (tristructural isotropic coated particle) is a microscopic nuclear fuel element, under 1 mm across, whose carbon and silicon carbide coatings contain fission products.

Tritium breeding ratio

The tritium breeding ratio is the tritium produced in a fusion reactor's lithium blanket per tritium burned in the plasma; it must exceed 1 for self-sufficient fuel.

Tritium fuel cycle

The tritium fuel cycle is the closed loop of processes by which a deuterium-tritium fusion plant recovers unburned fuel from the exhaust and breeds replacement tritium from lithium.
