Unlike power supplies in other remote villages in the country, Faseau's installation relied entirely on voluntary labor, being funded by overseas aid donors and the community itself. While the technical features of the 7 kW micro-hydroelectric power plant project are not sophisticated, they are robust and were chosen to meet project requirements such as economy, ease of transport, installation and operation. Because the range of skills available in the village is diverse and there was no process during construction that could not be handled by local people after an initial demonstration, concerns about the sustainability of the electricity network are easily allayed.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128151362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unit features a 20 kHz frequency switched mode based power supply (SMPS) for electrostatic precipitation in a coal-fired power station and an output voltage of 50 kV at 1 A continuous rating.

Built jointly by Argentina and Paraguay to harness the hydraulic resources of the Parana River, the project has been plagued by a series of delays and corruption scandals. Beyond the corruption, however, the key problem with Yacyreta is the fact that operating at 60% of full capacity translates into poorer production figures than those originally anticipated. Should the plant have been operating at its full capacity, it would be able to supply about 25% of all electricity consumed by the country. In the meantime, the Argentinian government plans to launch new power stations in 2007 until Yacyreta's untapped potential becomes available by 2009.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122300741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lovelock believes that the UK should take advantage of nuclear power for its energy needs and proposes the adoption of Finland's nuclear waste management program. He, however, does not favor building new nuclear power plants but instead suggests extending the lives of the current crop of nuclear facilities. Lovelock expresses his frustration over the so-called modern environmentalists and explains his views on renewable technologies. While he does not believe in wind and solar, he favors tidal generation and carbon capture. Lovelock also expressed concern over the climate crisis, saying that the Earth's systems are responding to the changes humans have made to the planet by shifting itself to a new physiological state.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134470703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study hopes to determine exactly how people and businesses use energy in cities by reviewing past academic work, gathering existing datasets and conducting original surveys. Researchers hope to take advantage of the improved processing power of the latest supercomputer to analyse the mountains of data, and ultimately wish to work out exactly how many people live in different types of accommodation and how much energy they consume.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131317040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The largest single potential source of tidal energy in the UK lies in the Severn Estuary, where the tides are the highest in Europe. Developers believe a barrage built across the estuary could provide as much as 7% of the power needs of England and Wales. There are concerns, however, that the barrage could have a negative impact on the existing habitat and wildlife. Alternatives to the barrage have been put forward including the installation of tidal lagoons which would have a significantly less environmental impact than a full-bodied barrage.","PeriodicalId":182274,"journal":{"name":"Power Engineer","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127859087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
