Below a basic list of corporate titles you might find in various companies: Note that there are a wide variety of ways these positions are implemented and used in the corporate world. Sometimes corporate titles are given out of prestige rather than what their function within the company really is. Sometimes when a CEO leaves [...]
Power Generation Plants:
A facility designed to produce electric energy from another form of energy, such as fossil fuel, nuclear, hydroelectric, geothermal, solar thermal, and wind.
Ever since humans started burning wood or other organic matter to keep warm and to cook food, we’ve been using biomass energy, or bioenergy. Today we can also use biomass to fuel vehicles, generate electricity, and develop biobased products.
At the moment renewable energy is a big word all around the world. Around the world various sources are being researched like biomass and geothermal to name but two.
Which light bulb to choose? Rather choose to go Green.
You want the right amount of light, and you want it to last a long time, especially if it’s for a hard-to-reach place. But you don’t want it to add to your electric bill. You can get everything you want if you use a little energy [...]
Zero energy home design
A Zero Energy Home (ZEH) combines state-of-the-art, energy-efficient construction and appliances with commercially available renewable energy systems, such as solar water heating and solar electricity. The combination results in a home that produces its own energy—as much or more than it needs. Even though the home might be connected to a utility [...]
Kitchen energy cost savings
There are many ways to go green in your kitchen. here are some ideas how:
Transmission Lines
Transmission lines carry electric energy from one point to another in an electric power system. They can carry alternating current or direct current or a system can be a combination of both. Also, electric current can be carried by either overhead or underground lines. The main characteristics that distinguish transmission lines from distribution lines [...]
A typical power generation, transmission and distribution system has these components: Power Generation Plants, Substations, Transmission Line and Distribution systems.
Underground distribution substations are also located near to the end-users. Distribution substation transformers change the subtransmission voltage to lower levels for use by end-users. Typical distribution voltages vary from 19,920 volts to 2400 volts.
