PASCUAL‚ Alexis David P. 011811 Nuclear power as the most suitable source of energy for the Philippines Soaring electricity bills‚ repeated blackouts; two of the major causes of headache we experience a lot nowadays. The giant power firm‚ MERALCO‚ has increased generation charges by a painful amount within the last 5 years‚ and of course‚ people are crying out loud because of this. In the middle of a power crisis‚ amidst soaring generation charges‚ the increasing cost of fuel importation

Hence‚ it is proposed in this report that Vestas adopt a corporate diversification strategy‚ whereby an expansion into the SWT industry will act as a strategic move to circumvent the problem of slowing growth and increasing competition in the LWT segment‚ as well as retain global market leadership in the overall wind turbine industry

All the twenty nine weather stations are distributed quite evenly in the entire kingdom. A spatial interpolation technique is used to predict the wind speed between the weather stations‚ where direct measured data is not available. In this analysis‚ the method used to convert the point data into raster format is the inverse distance weighted‚ IDW. It determines cell values using a linearly weighted combination of a set of sample points. The weight is a function of inverse distance. The surface being

of solar energy. (Background) Solar cells came about in 1883 designed by Charles Fritts. Solar did not come to America until later in the 1950s but was only used by NASA or for space applications. Introduced to the public in 1970 and was used to power navigation warning lights and horns on many offshore gas and oilrigs‚ lighthouses‚ railroad crossings. Domestic solar applications were viewed‚ as practical applications in remote locations where grid connected utilities could not exist affordably

Wind Energy: Energy from Moving Air Abstract This paper contains the description of the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity‚ also describe the prospect and history of wind energy. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes‚ businesses‚ schools

covers the early discovered but not commonly used Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). The report will focus on the key features of the VAWT‚ which are somewhat more beneficial compared to other traditional Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines. The creation of a 3D animated video will be used to show the operations of a VAWT in action. It will simulate how and what is used in a setup of a typical VAWT. The 3D video will also demonstrate how the power output is calculated and For comparison sake the HAWT will

These sources can never be exhausted and called non-conventional sources of energy. Renewable sources consist of solar energy‚ bio-mass‚ wind speed‚ etc (Why Renewable Energy). The idea of this research paper is to cover the latest in the field of renewable energy sources. This subject illustrates the diverse form of renewable sources of energy and their functions. In today’s economic

The Salem Harbor power plant is a serious threat to the public health and it may only get worse. There is a severe concern about toxic air emissions from the prior waste disposal practices. That is why Bush’s energy plan doesn’t quite work? In the Salem Evening News it says that‚ "The Bush plan only pays lip service to the threat of global warming‚ the greatest environmental danger of our time." (Kert Davies) The Bush plan may of solved the threat of global warming‚ but in reality Pollution
