The larynx doesn't grow to its new size overnight, though. If you've ever heard a teenage boy's voice sound squeaky, you've heard a larynx trying to get adjusted to its new size!

When kids hit puberty, their bodies and minds go through tons of changes. One change that every kid can count on is lots of body parts growing and changing shape. Almost every part gets in on the growing action, including the larynx (say: LAIR-inks).

This larger larynx also gives boys deeper voices. Actually, girls' voices get a little bit deeper as their larynxes get larger, too. But because boys' larynxes grow so much more, it makes their voices deeper than girls' voices.

You're at the high school baseball game with your friends, and you see your big brother's friend Justin in the dugout drinking from a water bottle. With every sip he takes, a big bump moves up and down on the front of his neck.

Our battery energy storage systems enhance power system flexibility, response, and reliability by enabling electricity from the grid and intermittent renewables, including wind, solar and hydro, to be stored and released when power is needed most.

Another name for the larynx is the voice box, and it's in the throat. The larynx is what gives you your voice, whether you're talking, laughing, whispering, singing, or shouting. You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming. When you feel vibrations under your fingers, you've found it!

Battery energy storage systems are a valuable addition to sites that need resiliency from weather events and natural disasters, critical operations, or any operation that demands uninterrupted power. This includes hospitals, district energy systems, petrochemical processes, and uninterruptible manufacturing and batch processes.

Our BESS solutions are operated by our team of experienced power asset managers who use intelligent battery software to optimize wind and solar production. They also use utility rate structures, usage history, and weather patterns to determine when the stored energy is discharged. Our BESS system captures surplus energy from the grid or renewable source during times of high production/low demand and discharges it during times of low production/high demand, lowering energy cost and ensuring an uninterrupted supply of electricity in emergencies.

We deliver our battery storage energy solutions through physical behind-the-meter on-site facilities as well as Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPA). Both involve long-term contracts in which we deliver reliable green energy to power your operations at a fixed price. Our team will review your specific business and decarbonization goals to determine the best strategy for your energy supply.

When the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what's called an Adam's apple. Everyone's larynx grows during puberty, but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does. That's why boys have Adam's apples. Most girls don't have Adam's apples, but some do. It's no big deal either way.

We can help you reach your clean energy goals – it’s that simple. Our renewable developments bring clean energy to communities, businesses, and industries. As a company, we’ve been responsible for reducing our annual emissions by 29 million tonnes from 2005 levels. This is the equivalent of planting 80 million trees or taking 660,000 cars off the road. As one of Canada’s largest publicly traded power generators, we’re here to partner with you to deliver customized, sustainable energy solutions you can rely on.

But why is it called an Adam's apple? If you think it's called that after the story of the Garden of Eden where Adam ate a piece of the forbidden fruit that got stuck in his throat, you're right. An Adam's apple sometimes looks like a small, rounded apple just under the skin in the front of the throat.

We are early adopters of technologies that will enable renewables and usher in a clean energy future. We created one of Canada’s first utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), charged by one of our wind energy facilities. We understand battery storage technology and energy management, and can help you get the reliability, resiliency, and optimization you need to achieve your net-zero goals.

TransAlta is committed to net-zero electricity and is heavily invested in the emerging electricity technology space to enable us to provide business energy solutions that can be tailored to your operational needs. This results in optimized, cost-effective electricity and storage when it is most needed.
