students of electricity begin their study with what is known as direct current (DC)‚ which is electricity flowing in a constant direction‚ and/or possessing a voltage with constant polarity. DC is the kind of electricity made by a battery (with definite positive and negative terminals)‚ or the kind of charge generated by rubbing certain types of materials against each other. As useful and as easy to understand as DC is‚ it is not the only “kind” of electricity in use. Certain sources of electricity (most

cleanly convert sunlight into electricity and offer a practical solution to the problem of power generation in remote areas. The solar tracker designed and constructed in this project offers a reliable and affordable method of aligning a solar module with the sun in order to maximize its energy output. Automatic Sun Tracking System is a hybrid hardware/software prototype‚ which automatically provides best alignment of solar panel with the sun‚ to get maximum output (electricity) ideate the design.

the volumes of exchange are not huge. All ultimate consumers of electricity are largely served by their respective State Electricity Boards or their successor entities‚ Power Departments‚ private licensees etc. and their relationship is primarily that of captive customers versus monopoly suppliers. In India‚ the generators of electricity like Central Generating Stations (CGSs)‚ Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and State Electricity Boards (SEBs) have all their capacities tied up. Each SEB has an

Power Corporation (KEPCO)‚ completed in 1988‚ conveys relatively cheap electric power by undersea 100 km dc cables from Haenam to Cheju C/S in Jeju Island. This 12 pulse bipolar system normally conveys 150 MW‚ which corresponded to 40% of the total load demand of Jeju Island. The HVDC system basically adopts inverter operation at Jeju in which current control is used as the main control and average gamma control is used as the secondary control. At Haenam‚ where rectifier operation is adopted‚ voltage

More than a third of the nation’s grid electricity is lost to power theft and inefficiencies‚ and that doesn’t include the half of the population that has no grid electricity at all. For those who do‚ daily blackouts are a common occurrence‚ and major system-wide failures‚ like last year’s blackout that left 600 million people in the dark‚ point to long-term

but varies significantly over shorter time scales and as a result it is necessary to have flexible back up generation sources on standby to cover any sudden drops or increases in its output which adds significant cost to the running of a stable electricity grid (Kessides and Wade 2011) (Hirth and Ziegenhagen 2015). This is because of instantaneous electrical generation and the consumption must remain balanced at all times to ensure grid stability‚ this variability creates substantial challenges when

consumption use is for heating and cooling. 70% of energy consumption are estimated to contribute to HVAC systems in building sector. Running cost of all building appliances and systems depends upon the following factors as size of unit‚ time‚ load and electricity rate an example of the running cost If the data sheet has Power Input figure in kW (not the heating or cooling capacity of the unit) you simply multiply this number by your local energy cost in kWh (kilowatt hours) to give you a running cost
