What power station need fuel the most?
If you mean which needs the most fuel, I should think coal stations, which need many tons of coal and still supply about half our total electricity.
How many wind turbines do you need to replace a coal power station in the UK?
Both wind turbines and coal power stations come in different sizes, so there is no quick formula to convert one to the other.
Why do hydro electric power stations need to be located at dam walls?
because there are turbins that relie on the water to spin the turbins when the geats are open
Why coal-fired power stations have been replaced by gas-fired ones?
Money and politics. Mostly its a joke - to make a real difference they need to be converted to geo-thermal.
Does the UK need new power stations?
It will do soon, as old stations are retired
What do you know about power stations what are they and why are they needed?
Power stations produce electricity, and we need them because electricity is essential to our modern way of life
Why are so many power stations located on the coast?
Power stations need to use water for cooling. Lakes, rivers and coastal areas are a ready source of water.
Why is it important to address Our over use of electricity?
Even British Columbia, with all of our extensive existing - [we all need to address micro-Hydro] - Hydro-electric resources, is a Net Importer of Coal Fired Oregon power. Shanghai City needs seventeen dirty-coal fired Power Plants 24 hours.
What kind of power do you need to use the Frigidaire FEB24S2A Electric Wall Ove?
Item FEB24S2A Electric Wall Oven uses electric power.
Where do trains refuel?
Electric trains (and electrically powered locomotives) do not need to refuel. Or you could say they are constantly fuelling themselves from the electric supply.Diesel trains and diesel locomotives are refuelled either at depots at the start or end of the working day, or at fuelling points at stations as necessary.Steam locomotives (which these days are only used on tourist nostalgia services) are fuelled with coal, and re-supplied with water, at depots and stations. This has to be done a lot more frequently than with diesels.
Most of the electricity used in the world is generated by?
The majority of electricity is generated from fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas. Fossil fuels need to be replaced by other sources as the resources we rely on are becoming more scarce. Increasingly, renewable energy sources are being used such as wind, solar, hydro-electric, tidal but these represent a small percentage of the total generation. Nuclear power has had its share of problems but in the twenty first century, it is making a comeback. Better controlled and safer than early nuclear power stations, new stations are being constructed.
Does the UK need more power stations?
Yes, the argument is over what type to build
