NEXT >> Power lines For more than 100 years, most of the electricity used in the United States has been generated in large power plants, each one typically providing enough power to serve nearly a million people. There are two main reasons for this: However, because of recent changes in technology and increasing concerns about protecting the environment, we may be moving into an era when much, if not most, of the new electrical power is generated at or near our homes. What are the new technologies? There are four relatively recent developments that are already making a major change in the production of power. Once again, there is rapidly growing interest in generating some electrical power on-site with renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbine generators. Because of state subsidies and higher electricity prices, these systems can pay back their high initial cost in five to ten years. Moreover, as the sales of these systems increase, the price has been dropping, and the efficiency of the systems is improving. For most homeowners with a roof that is suitable to hold solar panels, the most economical arrangement is to purchase a system with a maximum output of 2 to 2.5 kilowatts. This will produce more electricity than many homes need during bright sunny days, so that the extra electricity can flow back onto the power grid, making the electric power meter actually runs backward. Then at night and on cloudy days, the homeowner draws power as usual from the grid. With today's electricity price structure, this system is worth serious consideration.
Extractions: Chemistry 1010, Xavier University of Louisiana Study Guide for Skills Module on Graduate Schools Website: http://www.xula.edu] [To related "Grad School Handouts"] [ To bottom of this page This module was extracted from General Chemistry Handbook Volume I by JW Carmichael, et. al. (Stipes Publishing, Champaign, IL, 1997). Students in Chemistry 1010 earn points for completing and turning the short "take-home quiz" below in exactly the same manner they would earn points for passing a chemistry content exam. Additional information about this and other special features of Xavier's General Chemistry course can be obtained from the course syllabus at this website. A broader perspective of the numerous other activities designed to help students succeed in entry-level science courses at Xavier is available from the "Standards with Sympathy in the Sciences" page or the references available on XU's Premed website. Reading Assignment: "Grad School Handouts" available from your instructor or from the Premed portion of XU's website. Guide for Your Lecturer: None. This module will not be covered in lecture.
