supplies of oil and natural gas are expected to run out in the near future. This has cause a growth in nuclear power. Through out this report one will also learn the disadvantages and advantages to coal burning power plant and how they operate. Coal has played a major role in electricity production ever since the first power plants were built in the world in the 1880’s. The earliest power plant used hand feed wood or coal to heat boiler and produce steam. This steam was used in reciprocation steam engines

SCADA software‚ working on DOS and UNIX operating systems used in the 1980s‚ was an alarm-based program‚ which has a fairly simple visual interface. The SCADA system usually consists of the following subsystems: (1) A Man-Machine Interface (MMI) is the apparatus which presents process data to a human operator‚ and through this‚ the human operator‚ monitors and controls the process.

Question 3 NO‚ because other nascent Chinese battery companies use only low cost strategy and they have no R&D department‚ the market is fragmented between them and there is no dominant company. Using both low cost and high quality (because of R&D department‚ vertical integration and using of manpower instead of robotic arms) allows BYD to be reliable and to dominate the market in China.
