Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion Energy Source The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Spatial scales

Atmospheric air motion can be categorized depending in terms of spatial scale. Four spatial scales identified include planetary scale, synoptic scale, mesoscale, and microscale. There are various types of spatial scales ...

Abstract

This paper analyzes the importance of generator synchronization to the power grid, the required conditions to perform this procedure and the consequences of imprecise synchronization. For a generator to be synchronized to a grid, the voltage magnitude, frequency, phase sequence and phase angle must match. Manual synchronization depends on an operator to modify generator voltage and frequency, confirm phase sequences of generator and grid, and monitor phase angle difference to timely initiate breaker closure. Automatic synchronizers perform all these function through a computerized system that consists of complex algorithms and control systems, and are categorized in phase lock type ...

Thaddeus Cahill, a young lawyer and part-time inventor of mechanisms for piano and printing machines, lived in Washington D.C. When young, Cahill experimented with transferring music that was performed on traditional acoustic instruments over long distances via telephone lines. However, the sound was too weak for large rooms. Electrical amplification has not yet been invented, as well as radio tubes. A radical idea to solve this problem came to Cahill in 1893: he wanted to get musical sounds directly from the electricity itself, or, more precisely, with the help of a special system of electronic oscillators. So, telharmonium was ...
