Grid Reports Samples For Students

Introduction: A brief history on the evolution of grid technologies.

The Smart Grid is the backbone of all major innovations, policies and regulations included in the power grid since its creation in the 1880’s. The power grid is an electric network of power sub-stations, transmission lines, transformers, and other equipment and facilities used by power suppliers to deliver electricity from the power generation plant to homes and commercial entities.
When power grids started being built for electricity distribution, the demand for devices to measure consumption rose. The need for these devices was to help electricity suppliers in distribution, pricing and monitoring of their services. However, the path ...

Abstract

Implementation of information systems involves a lot of processes that should be taken into consideration. Implementation of large scale information systems requires that care be taken so that the benefits that were initially sought are achieved. Grid computing is now making it possible to share resources which are not used. It has made it possible to have computer nodes which are idle in some location away and use their processing power. This is the power of grid computing. This paper will look at the implementation issues that arise with the implementation of grid computing by Synergy Finance Solutions. It will ...

Solving Social Problems: Solar Energy in Rural India

The developing world grapples with the lack of access to electricity. Third world countries have poor electrical infrastructure which is still in the nascent stages of development. As a result, majority of people, especially those living in rural areas, have no access to electricity. The reach of the electrical grid in countries is limited to towns, and the poor who have access to electrical power supply suffer frequent and prolonged power blackouts. As a result, people in such countries result to unclean and unhealthy means of lighting, such as kerosene and diesel generators. The kerosene lamps cause respiratory problems ...

Abstract

Large scale implementation of information systems undergoes a lot of process and risk management. With organization-wide information systems that are bound to automate large-scale business processes, complexity is increased as there is a need to have good integration of the divergent processes in the organization. With automation in the business processes in many companies, there is the saving of operations costs and the possibilities of attaining collaboration in a creative and innovative way. The recent developments in large-scale information systems have made the working of the various departments synergized so that the human resource department can work on the information from the ...

According to the data collected in 2013, the world energy consumption was segregated into various power sources such as 31.1% from oil reserves, 28.9% from coals, 21.4% from natural gases, 10.2% from biomass and wastes, 4.8% from nuclear sources, 2.4% from hydro energy and remaining 1.2% from other renewable sources. The most common form of energy used in industrial and household purpose was oil, coal and natural gas (Lawton, 2014). These resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas are natural reserves which are depleting due to extensive extraction over time.

Summary
The Autonomous Net-Zero Water Project is a water treatment project that aims to provide a sustainable water supply system. It works by gathering all waste water from a particular facility, then subjecting the water to a series of water treatment processes. After which, the water is directed back to the facility for consumption. This perpetual process of water recycling provides continuous water supply; making it possible for its users to refrain or extremely minimize tapping water from outside sources. Water recycling is not a new thing. However, the greatest challenge in making the water-recycling system sustainable ...
