Transmission technologies can decrease the environmental impact of deregulated electric power

Article Abstract:

According to Electric Power Research Institute, deregulation has affected the buying, selling and generating of electricity in the United States. The electric power distribution grid that was built 50-years, is inadequate for the volume of energy needed, hence increasing power outages and its impact on the environment. The new power transmission technologies being developed would address power outages and reduce the adverse effect on the environment.

The future of coal power technology looks hotter

Article Abstract:

United Technologies, through funding from the Department of Energy, is improving the efficiency in coal-fired power plants. Researchers at the rsr used the system to generate temperatures of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The process is called high-performance power. A heat exchanger warms intake air. The process produces no condensation. So, waste heat can be recycled to run a second generator. Due to the high temperatures, the refractory walls of the furnace must be made of harder metals to prevent slumping. Additional benefits of the process include reduced carbon dioxide output, and any solid fuel could be used to fire the system.
