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.
When electricity is transported long distances via large overhead transmission lines the voltage can be transformed up to volts. A. 250000 B. 500000 C. 10000 D. 100000?
When electricity is transported long distances via large overhead transmission lines, the voltage can be transformed up to 500,000 volts (B). This high voltage reduces energy loss during transmission, allowing for efficient delivery of electricity over long distances.
What is a low load factor in electricity?
A low load factor in electricity refers to a situation where the actual electricity consumption is significantly lower than the maximum possible demand over a specific period. It indicates that the power system is not being utilized efficiently, as much of the capacity remains underused. This can lead to higher costs for utilities and consumers, as fixed costs are spread over a smaller amount of generated electricity. Low load factors are often seen in industries with intermittent or variable energy use.
Does Japan have the nuclear bomb?
Japan has a large nuclear civil electricity industry, but no nuclear weapons
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
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.
By 1970 Japan had?
electricity
Is the demand for electricity elastic or inelastic?
The demand for electricity is generally considered to be inelastic, meaning that changes in price do not significantly affect the quantity demanded.
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.
Is electricity generated on demand?
no that's imposible
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.
What country has the highest demand for lumber?
Japan
