How it works
Schematic · not to scale
Move energy across time
Electricity is available at one time.
Store some energy for later use.
Discharge it when electricity is needed.
A larger load uses the stored energy faster.
The arrows show energy transfer, not creation. Losses, capacity and operating limits affect real runtime.
The lesson, in the real world
Storing energy changes when it can be used.
- 1
Electricity demand and available generation can change at different times. A battery can store energy for later use.
Our explanation - 2
Power electronics and controls manage electrical transfer between the storage system and other connected equipment.
Our explanation - 3
A design must distinguish power, the rate of transfer, from energy, the amount stored or delivered over time.
Our explanation - 4
Storage has losses and operating limits. Compare when energy is needed, how quickly it must be delivered and how much is available.

Who does this work
Roles documented at Eguana Technologies
What each kind of work involves, the job titles to look for, and where to find postings in Calgary.
Power-electronics design
Control how electrical energy moves between components. Power-electronics work combines circuit design with testing, thermal limits and the behaviour of the complete system.
Classroom connection
Power describes the rate of energy transfer; stored energy describes how much is available.Job titles to search
Power electronics engineer · Electrical engineer · Electronics technologistWork area · A dated employer posting explicitly establishes Calgary power-electronics engineering work.Instrument development and testing
Help build and check the equipment that produces measurements. Instrument work joins hardware, software and experiments rather than treating a reading as automatically correct.
Classroom connection
Measurement uncertainty is part of using a tool responsibly.Job titles to search
Test engineer · Electronics technologistWork area · The posting describes validation and production testing; this work-area label is editorial.Software and data systems
Build the tools that move, process and display information. Reliable software needs testing against missing, delayed and unexpected data as well as ideal examples.

Ask the class
Use it in class
Ask the class
Could two batteries store the same amount of energy but support different appliances?
Use fictional devices rated at 1 kW and 3 kW and an idealized 6 kWh store. Compare ideal run times, then ask what changes when losses and power limits are included.
Mindset it shows
Ideal answers are six hours and two hours, only if the device is within the system’s power limit. Real run time depends on usable capacity, operating conditions and losses; these are not Eguana specifications.
