Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells

Dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DSPECs) use a molecular dye on a semiconductor electrode to absorb visible light and drive water splitting, producing hydrogen fuel, and can also convert CO2.

Dye-sensitized solar cell

A dye-sensitized solar cell, also called a Grätzel cell, is a photovoltaic device where dye on titanium dioxide absorbs light; invented at EPFL in 1991, it excels indoors.

Dynamic Containment (National Grid ESO)

Dynamic Containment is a fast frequency response service launched by National Grid ESO in Great Britain on 30 September 2020 to arrest large post-fault frequency changes.

Dynamic line rating

Dynamic line rating (DLR) is a power-systems technique that sets an overhead transmission line's capacity from real-time weather, typically raising usable capacity 10 to 30% over static ratings.

Dynamic load management

Dynamic load management, also called dynamic load balancing, controls electric vehicle charging power in real time from live site measurements, keeping total demand within electrical limits while using available capacity fully.

Dynamic power cable

A dynamic power cable is a submarine power cable connecting a floating offshore structure, usually a floating wind turbine, to the seabed while moving with waves and currents.

Dynamic voltage restorer

A dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a series-connected custom power device that injects corrective voltage to protect sensitive loads from sags, swells, and other disturbances, but not outages.

Dynamic wake meandering

Dynamic wake meandering (DWM) is a mid-fidelity engineering wake model developed at the Technical University of Denmark that treats a turbine wake deficit as a passive tracer carried by large-scale turbulence.
