What are facts about pumped storage reservoirs?
When there is not much demand for electricity, such as during the night, the extra electricity is used to pump water back up to a storage reservoir. Then, later in the day, when electricity demand is high, the water from the storage water is also released as an extra, producing more electricity when it is needed. A British example of when this might be needed is when Downtown Abbey finishes and 2/3 of the viewers then go to make tea. Because Downtown Abbey has such a large audience, it is thought that a somewhat 5 million people then go to make a cup of tea [or coffee or hot chocolate or whatever] after the show has finished, thus creating a power surge. This would be an adequate excuse to use the pumped storage method of gaining energy quickly.
What is the difference between small hydro power and large hydro power?
Large hydro power would be a dam in a river, storing water and generating electricity for agricultural, industrial and domestic use. Small hydro power systems could be as small as a turbine in a stream providing electricity to a single farm.
Does graphite conduct electricity?
It in-fact does conduct electricity, molten graphite is a key element in which terrorists use for I.E.D'S it causes a large heat blast when heated with electricity and mixed with different compounds.
What is peak lopping?
In general Electricity supply companies charge consumers for the amount of power that they consume in addition to the amount of energy they consume. By power it is meant the rate at which they consume the energy. If for example you have two consumers who both use the same amount of electricity in a month but one uses it over two days and one over the whole month, the one that uses it over the two days will be penalised in their billing because the supply company will need to install more expensive, higher capacity equipment to supply them. The financial benefit of peak lopping is reflected in the billing by the supply company. there is a charge per unit energy in cents/kWh and a demand charge which is based on the maximum demand that is recorded for the billing period, this is in $/kVA (power) the much more expensive one is the demand charge so it is better to draw energy for longer periods of time at cents/kWh than to draw it quickly and pay a premium rate for the demand in $/kVA. Peak-lopping refers to a situation whereby the consumer choses to cut the peak demand that they require in order to avoid paying the penalties associated. There are various means of implementing peak-lopping measures. in some buildings the Building Management System will simply switch off items such as Geysers and certain Air Conditioning units when the building starts drawing too much power. Other means of peak-lopping generally involve storing the energy in some way during times of low demand for use later when it is needed during times of higher demand. An example of such a solution would be to use electricity during the night to make ice in an insulated ice storage tank and use the ice during the day to cool the Air conditioning units. This would reduce the amount of power they require during the day when there is a high demand for electricity.
Why should you control maximum demand?
Commercial electrical customers are billed a demand charge as part of their electrical bill. The idea is that if the customer's peak instantaneous KW usage (demand) is high, the utility has to provide large enough generating and transmission capacity, which costs money. Controlling maximum demand lowers the electric bill, saving the customer money. The act of doing so is called peak shaving, and is usually accomplished by turning off non critical loads or providing onsite co-generation to reduce utility consumption to prevent a new peak from occuring.
What kind of elastic demand does electricity belong?
It depends on whether electricity is necessity or luxury. In the US where electricity is a necessity, the demand is likely to be inelastic In Africa where electricity is luxury, the demand is likely to be elastic
Does Japan have the nuclear bomb?
Japan has a large nuclear civil electricity industry, but no nuclear weapons
How is electricity transferred from grid to all other stations?
The "Grid" is the network of wires, tranformers, and switches that supply electricity to very large areas. By switching current, it can be taken from areas with high production and low demand, and supplied to areas with low production and high demand. Both production and demand change by time of day in different areas.
Is electricity generated on demand?
no that's imposible
By 1970 Japan had?
electricity
What is a Pumped Storage Reservoir and why do you need them?
When there is not much demand for electricity, such as during the night, the extra electricity is used to pump water back up to a storage reservoir. Then, later in the day, when electricity demand is high, the water from the storage water is also released as an extra, producing more electricity when it is needed. We need them because demand for electricity fluctuates (goes up and down) and pumped storage reservoirs allow us to meet the demand.
How can demand for electricity production change?
i dont knw
What country has the highest demand for lumber?
Japan
Why is nuclear energy an prominent energy source in japan?
Japan has no fossil fuels but needs a lot of electricity as an industrial economy, therefore it was decided many years ago to build a large number of nuclear plants.
