Coal-electricity price linkageStackelberg game modelProfit impactsCoal priceTo mitigate the serious conflicts between market-driven coal prices and state-administered electricity prices in China, two kinds of mechanism of coal-electricity price linkage (CEPL) policies were proposed by the Chinese ...
Among renewable ways to generate electricity, solar energy is one of the most promising sources, especially in sunny countries like South Africa.Solar panelsusephotovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity. These panels can be placed on rooftops or set up in large fields, ...
Much like solar-powered homes, solar cars harness energy from the sun, and then convert it into electricity. That electricity then fuels the car's powertrain, which is similar to the combination of an electric motor and battery-based energy storage that drives modern hybrid cars. Solar cars ca...
Step-down transformer: Once the electricity reaches its destination, another transformer converts the electricity back to a lower voltage safe for homes to use. Homes: Electricity flows into homes through underground cables. Appliances: Electricity flows all round your home to outlets on the wall. ...
As we've already discussed, a generator converts mechanical energy into electricity. A motor works on the same principles, but in the opposite direction -- it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. To do this, a motor needs a special kind of magnet known as an electromagnet. In...
And the quickest way to reduce coal emissions is to reduce our electricity consumption. (more on climate change) And if you really want to lessen your carbon footprint, you'll also want to look into eating less meat and driving less. I hope you find this website useful. Happy savings!
Solar thermal power plants are active systems, and while there are a few types, there are a few basic similarities: Mirrors reflect and concentrate sunlight, and receivers collect that solar energy and convert it into heat energy. A generator can then be used to produce electricity from this ...

The next step was to use the model to convert the weight of the trash averted into a greenhouse gas equivalent. We then determined that ECOlunchbox's annual greenhouse gas aversion is 9,417 metric tons of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent)! To understand what it means in layman’s terms, ...
As such, nations can use renewable sources such as solar and wind since they need negligible amounts of water to convert raw energy into usable electricity. 4. Minimizing Energy Wastage Along Wires From power plants, electricity flows to communities via high-voltage transmission lines. Since it ...
