What Is Transformer

Image
The reason for transforming the voltage to a much higher level is that higher distribution voltages implies lower currents for the same power and therefore lower I 2 R losses along the networked grid of cables. These higher AC transmission voltages and currents can then be reduced to a much lower, safer and usable voltage level where it can be used to supply electrical equipment in our homes and workplaces, and all this is possible thanks to the basic  Voltage Transformer . The  Voltage Transformer  can be thought of as an electrical component rather than an electronic component. A transformer basically is very simple static (or stationary) electro-magnetic passive electrical device that works on the principle of Faraday’s law of induction by converting electrical energy from one value to another. The transformer does this by linking together two or more electrical circuits using a common oscillating magnetic circuit which is produced by the transfo...

We All Need Resources

Image
We All Need Resources: You can renew your lease when it runs out at the end of the year. You can renew your driver's license and license plate on your birthday. You can also renew a library book when your allotted time with it has expired. All sorts of things get renewed in our everyday lives when they 'run out' or expire. These are easy to renew because you don't have to create a new one, you just renew the ability to use whatever it is you are using. You can apply this same principle to natural resources. We use all kinds of natural resources: minerals, wood, coal, natural gas, wind, water, plants, animals and many more. Some of these are renewable and some are non-renewable. The difference is that some renew at faster rates than others, making them more sustainable than those that do not renew very fast

Usage in India

Image
Usage in India: The importance of increasing the use of non-conventional or  renewable power was recognized in India in the early 1970’s. There are four major areas of renewable energy being tapped for power generation. These are solar energy, wind energy, Biomass and small hydro. 1. Solar Energy:  Solar energy in India is utilized thorough Photo-voltaic route and Thermal route. Solar Photo-voltaic (SPV) technology enables the conversion of solar radiation into electricity without involving any moving part like turbine, etc. A BHEL made SPV battery charging system was successfully used in the Indian Antarctic stations at Dakshin Gangotri and Maitri. The Biswanath Rail station in the Bangalore Chennai section is being served by solar energy based electricity. 2. Biomass:  Power generating systems based on biomass combustion as well as biomass gasification were launched in different centers in India. 3. Wind Energy:  Wind Energy is being used f...

Wave Power

Image
Wave Power: Wave energy is produced when electricity generators are placed on the surface of the ocean. The energy provided is most often used in desalination plants, power plants and water pumps. Energy output is determined by wave height, wave speed, wavelength, and water density. To date there are only a handful of experimental wave generator plants in operation around the world. The articles on this page explore the world of wave energy and its possible applications.

Hydro electricity tracking

Image
Hydro electricity tracking: A generating station which utilities the potential energy of water at a high level for the generation of electrical energy is known as a hydro-electric power station. Hydro-electric power stations are generally located in hilly areas where dams can be built conveniently and large water reservoirs can be obtained.  In a hydro-electric power station, water head is created by constructing a dam across a river or lake.  From the dam, water is led to a water turbine. The water turbine captures the energy in the falling water and changes the hydraulic energy into mechanical energy at the turbine shaft.  The turbine drives the alternator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.  Hydro-electric power stations are becoming very popular because the reserves of fuels and oil are depleting day by day  They have the added importance for flood control, storage of water for irrigation purposes.
