Mobility analogyThe mobility analogy, also called admittance analogy or Firestone analogy, is a method of representing a mechanical system by an analogous electrical system. The advantage of doing this is that there is a large body of theory and analysis techniques concerning complex electrical systems, especially in the field of filters. By converting to an electrical representation, these tools in the electrical domain can be directly applied to a mechanical system without modification.
Thermal energy storageThermal energy storage (TES) is achieved with widely different technologies. Depending on the specific technology, it allows excess thermal energy to be stored and used hours, days, months later, at scales ranging from the individual process, building, multiuser-building, district, town, or region. Usage examples are the balancing of energy demand between daytime and nighttime, storing summer heat for winter heating, or winter cold for summer air conditioning (Seasonal thermal energy storage).
VoltLe volt (symbole : V) est une unité de force électromotrice et de différence de potentiel (ou tension), dérivée du SI. Ce nom a été donné en hommage à Alessandro Volta, inventeur italien de la pile voltaïque en 1800. Le volt correspond à la différence de potentiel électrique entre deux points d'un circuit composé d'une résistance d'un ohm, lorsque ce même circuit est parcouru par un courant constant de . La puissance dissipée entre ces deux points est alors égale à .
