  • Trends in Electricity Prices During the Transition Away from Coal by William B
    May 2021 | Vol. 10 / No. 10 PRICES AND SPENDING Trends in electricity prices during the transition away from coal By William B. McClain The electric power sector of the United States has undergone several major shifts since the deregulation of wholesale electricity markets began in the 1990s. One interesting shift is the transition away from coal-powered plants toward a greater mix of natural gas and renewable sources. This transition has been spurred by three major factors: rising costs of prepared coal for use in power generation, a significant expansion of economical domestic natural gas production coupled with a corresponding decline in prices, and rapid advances in technology for renewable power generation.1 The transition from coal, which included the early retirement of coal plants, has affected major price-determining factors within the electric power sector such as operation and maintenance costs, 1 U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS capital investment, and fuel costs. Through these effects, the decline of coal as the primary fuel source in American electricity production has affected both wholesale and retail electricity prices. Identifying specific price effects from the transition away from coal is challenging; however the producer price indexes (PPIs) for electric power can be used to compare general trends in price development across generator types and regions, and can be used to learn valuable insights into the early effects of fuel switching in the electric power sector from coal to natural gas and renewable sources. The PPI program measures the average change in prices for industries based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

  • Hydroelectric Power -- What Is It? It=S a Form of Energy … a Renewable Resource
    INTRODUCTION Hydroelectric Power -- what is it? It=s a form of energy … a renewable resource. Hydropower provides about 96 percent of the renewable energy in the United States. Other renewable resources include geothermal, wave power, tidal power, wind power, and solar power. Hydroelectric powerplants do not use up resources to create electricity nor do they pollute the air, land, or water, as other powerplants may. Hydroelectric power has played an important part in the development of this Nation's electric power industry. Both small and large hydroelectric power developments were instrumental in the early expansion of the electric power industry. Hydroelectric power comes from flowing water … winter and spring runoff from mountain streams and clear lakes. Water, when it is falling by the force of gravity, can be used to turn turbines and generators that produce electricity. Hydroelectric power is important to our Nation. Growing populations and modern technologies require vast amounts of electricity for creating, building, and expanding. In the 1920's, hydroelectric plants supplied as much as 40 percent of the electric energy produced. Although the amount of energy produced by this means has steadily increased, the amount produced by other types of powerplants has increased at a faster rate and hydroelectric power presently supplies about 10 percent of the electrical generating capacity of the United States. Hydropower is an essential contributor in the national power grid because of its ability to respond quickly to rapidly varying loads or system disturbances, which base load plants with steam systems powered by combustion or nuclear processes cannot accommodate. Reclamation=s 58 powerplants throughout the Western United States produce an average of 42 billion kWh (kilowatt-hours) per year, enough to meet the residential needs of more than 14 million people.

  • Letter from Navarre Minister Aldasoro
    NAVARRE: RENEWABLE ENERGIES Pamplona, 21 April 2009 Navarre is a small region of Spain with a population of 620,000 in an area the tenth of the state of Pennsylvania. It is well-known throughout the world for its development in renewable energies. The prestigious magazine, Nature, published an article about Navarre in June of 2007 entitled: “Energy-Go-Round: How did a little Spanish province become one of the world’s wind-energy giants?” After 20 years of development, 65% of the electrical energy we consume in Navarre originates from renewable energies. At this moment there are 993 MW of wind and almost 100 MW of photovoltaic power, among others, installed in Navarre. An article was published recently which has placed a doubt in renewable energy’s ability to create employment; it states that it destroys employment, and therefore, is a factor in the social impoverishment of a country. As I will demonstrate, this statement is completely untrue. In Navarre, the development of renewable energies, and above all wind energy, has created wealth, employment and technological development, and I can assert that this can be achieved in any other region or country. Our region’s GDP is among the three highest in Spain, participation by the industrial sector is 12 points higher than the entire country’s, and for many years Navarre has had unemployment rates inferior to Spain’s. Before the beginning of the current world crisis our region enjoyed full employment. Now, after the strong economic and employment crisis that affects Spain in particular, Navarre maintains itself as the Spanish region with the least unemployment.

  • By 2030, Wind Power in Spain Will Supply More Than 30% of Electricity with an Installed Capacity of 40 GW
    PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE Spanish wind power industry´s proposal for an energy transition By 2030, wind power in Spain will supply more than 30% of electricity with an installed capacity of 40 GW Madrid, 16th of November 2017.- The Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE) has developed the analysis "The necessary elements for an energy transition. Proposals for the electricity sector". This document has recently been sent to the Spanish Committee of Experts for Energy Transition. With it, AEE aims at making specific and realistic proposals on the contribution of wind power for 2020, 2030 and 2050. Energy transition brings with it the need for long term planning and many challenges for its achievement. AEE has taken as reference the European Commission´s scenario proposed by the PRIMES model in the horizon of 2030. This model states a very moderate growth in the electricity demand. In its own scenario, AEE has established more ambitious electrification and decarbonisation objectives in order to meet the Paris Agreement goal of achieving at least an 80-95% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Electrification must be the way to reduce emissions, thanks to competitive renewable technologies such as wind power. The electricity sector must move towards scenarios where new electricity demand is covered without jeopardizing emission reduction objectives. As a result of the analysis, the Spanish wind industry, represented by AEE, believes that wind power installed capacity will reach 28,000 MW by 2020 (taking into account the 2016 and 2017 tenders and the Canary Islands wind power quota). This means that wind power would increase by 1,700 MW per year on average between the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2020.

    POWER PLANT ENGINEERING 7th SEMESTER B.TECH DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING VSSUT BURLA MODULE-I SOURCES OF ENERGY There are mainly two types of sources of energy 1. Conventional Sources of Energy (Non-Renewable Sources of Energy) 2. Non-conventional Sources of Energy (Renewable Sources of Energy). 1. CONVENTIONAL SOURCES OF ENERGY These resources are finite and exhaustible. Once consumed, these sources cannot be replaced by others. Examples include coal, timber, petroleum, lignite, natural gas, fossil fuels, nuclear fuels etc. The examples are (i) fossil fuel ( ii ) nuclear energy ( iii ) hydro energy Have you not seen the filling of fuel in automobiles? What are the fuels that are being used in automobiles? What type of sources of energy are they? Are they non-conventional? Fossil fuel is an invaluable source of energy produced due to chemical changes taking place in the absence of oxygen, in plants and animals that have been buried deep in the earth’s crust for many million years. Fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas are formed in this manner. These are conventional sources of energy. For example, energy from, Petroleum, natural gas, coal, nuclear energy, etc THERMAL POWER Thermal generation accounts for about 70% of power generation in India. Thermal energy generation is based on coal, furnace oil and natural gas. Steam cycle, rankin cycle or sterling cycle can be used for energy production. Now clean coal technologies (with 10% ash content) have been used in thermal power plants on commercial scale. NATIONAL THERMAL POWER CORPORATION (NTPC) It was incorporated in November 1975 as a public sector undertaking with the main objectives of planning, promoting and organising integrated development of thermal power.
