The electricity consumption in 2010 was 150 billion kWh. Over the past ten years‚ electricity demand has been growing at about 3.2% per year. The current installed capacity is 32‚000 MW‚ with the majority of energy sources from natural gas

The idea of a train being able to utilize its very infrastructure to generate electricity is very fascinating. Generating power by harnessing the wind energy created by fast moving trains is not an idea that may occur to the average researcher. However‚ two industrial designers- China’s Qian Jiang and Italy’s Alessandro Leonetti Luparini have managed to develop a device that produces power by utilizing this unique form of wind energy. The design won a silver award at the Lite-On awards last year

The load on power station is varying‚ being maximum at 6 PM (Fig.1). The daily load curves are important in generation as they provide following information: (i) The daily load curves shows the variations of load on the power station during different hours of the day (ii) The area under the daily load curve gives the number of units generated in

The design is to make a little effort on winding the mainspring which will result in a long time of electric current generation. This study will serve as a theoretical model for future studies to innovate a device that will generate electricity without an AC/DC input. Future researchers will benefit from this study‚ and it willprovide them the data needed to compare their study during their respective time and usability. CHAPTER

The marketplace for electric power has become highly dynamic and competitive in nature in the backdrop of deregulation of power generation‚ declining fuel reserve margins‚ environmental regulations‚ climatic temperature extremes and the introduction of Availability Based Tariff (ABT). In such an environment‚ having the flexibility to augment gas turbine power output during periods when there is high tariff rates is of paramount importance to the profitability of the utilities.
