How to lower Electric Bill

Electricity use is dependent mainly on obvious factors like the size of houses and the temperature outside. How to lower Electric Bill!!     10 tips to Lower Your Electric Bill 1.Identify and fix  any leaks. 2.Use a programmable thermostat. 3.Eliminate dust. 4.Replace your filters. 5.Cook with something smaller. 6.Plant trees. 7.Install a ceiling fan. 8.Buy energy-efficient appliances. 9.Add solar panels to your home. 10.Consider your light bulbs. how to reduce electricity bill!! 1.Identify and fix  any leaks. There could be a malfunction in an appliance(electronics and other devices that continuously draw power even when they appear to be off), or power could be flowing to ground through a bad connection,can happen if the wire is somehow connected to ground or to the return path.Observable symptoms may include your counter showing a meaningful current even when all appliances are off. 2.Use a programmable thermostat.   A programmable thermostat is one

The future of electric vehicle battery

There has been renewed interest in this Battery Storage technology due to its potential application in non-polluting electric vehicles. Battery systems are quiet and non-polluting, and can be installed near load centers and existing suburban substations. Several U.S., European, and Japanese utilities have demonstrated the application of lead–acid batteries for load-following applications. The other player in battery development is the automotive industry for electric vehicle application. In 1991, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), several utilities, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) formed the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) to develop better batteries for electric vehicle (EV) applications.   Battery Types   1.primary batteries (non-rechargeable) 2.secondary batteries (rechargeable)  Batteries in electric vehicle EVs are the secondary rechargeable type Lead–Acid Batteries Lead–acid starting batteries are the

U.S list of electricity generation by source

The U.S. fleet of electric power generators is undergoing transformational change  electricity generation from coal-fired resources little decreased , while electricity generation from natural gas‒fired and non-hydro renewable resources increased. But not all technologies or regions are experiencing changes equally.Nuclear and hydroelectric generation outputs are relatively flat, Fossil fuels are the largest sources of energy for electricity generation 1.Natural gas was the largest source—about 35%—of U.S. electricity generation in 2018. Natural gas is used in steam turbines and gas turbines to generate electricity. 2.Coal was the second-largest energy source for U.S. electricity generation in 2018—about 27%. Nearly all coal-fired power plants use steam turbines. A few coal-fired power plants convert coal to a gas for use in a gas turbine to generate electricity. 3.Petroleum was the source of less than 1% of U.S. electricity generation in 2018. Residual fuel oil

Energy Information Administration

  The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is a government agency formed in 1977. The EIA is responsible for objectively collecting energy data, conducting analysis and making forecasts. The EIA's reports contain information regarding energy-related topics such as future energy inventories, demand, and prices. Its data, analysis, and reports are available online to both the public and the private sector.The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is a principal agency of the U.S. Federal Statistical System responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment. EIA programs cover data on coal, petroleum, natural gas, electric, renewable and nuclear energy. EIA is part of the U.S. Department of Energy.   The Energy Information Administration publishes energy-related information and analysis on

The Use of Natural Gas for Electrical Energy Generation

The speci fi c situation regarding the use of natural gas for electricity generation is the following: Over the period 2007 to 2035, natural-gas- fi red electricity generation is expected to increase by 2.1 % per year. Generation of natural gas worldwide is expected to increase from 3.9 trillion kWh in 2007 to 6.8 trillion kWh in 2035; this represents an increase of 74.4 %, but the total amount of electricity generated from natural gas continues to be less than one-half the total for coal, even in 2035. According to the IEO ( 2011 ) report, the natural gas share of global electricity generation is expected to grow from 22 % in 2008 to 24 % in 2035. Natural gas is the second fastest-growing source of power generation after renewables in the outlook for OECD Europe, increasing at an average rate of 1.3 % per year from 2007 to 2035, which is 0.8 % lower than the expected increase at world level. Although growth still is strong, considering that total electricity demand increases by only

The Use of Oil for Electrical Energy Generation

  Three technologies are used to convert oil into electricity: -Conventional steam - Oil is burned to heat water to create steam to generate electricity. -Combustion turbine - Oil is burned under pressure to produce hot exhaust gases which spin a turbine to generate electricity. -Combined-cycle technology - Oil is first combusted in a combustion turbine, using the heated exhaust gases to generate electricity. After these exhaust gases are recovered, they heat water in a boiler, creating steam to drive a second turbine. With oil prices remaining high, Most nations are expected to respond to higher oil prices by reducing or eliminating their use for electricity generation, opting instead for more economical sources of electricity generation, including coal and in some cases nuclear energy. For this reason, electricity generation from liquid fuels is expected to decrease. Oil is the largest source of energy in the United States, providing close to 40 percent of all of

Electrical Energy Generation in Europe

Electricity networks in Europe: NORDEL (Iceland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland), IPS/UPS (the entire former Soviet bloc, including Lithuania), and UCTE (all other European continental countries).  The purpose of the European power generation system is to satisfy electricity demand with an adequate quality of service at the best cost. In Europe, electricity is generated using different types of energy sources. These sources are, among others, oil, natural gas, coal, hydro, wind, solar systems, biomass, geothermal, and nuclear energy. Several power plants used for generation of electricity in the region are reaching its operational life and, for this reason, should be replaced with new and more ef fi cient power plants with low CO 2 emissions. It is important to highlight that electricity production is responsible for 32 % of total global fossil fuel use, but in several EU countries this fi gure is lower and continued to decline in r
