Renewables and Efficiency

DC electric power distribution systems have higher efficiency. better current carrying capacity and faster response when compared to conventional AC systems. They also provide a more natural interface with many types of renewable energy sources. Furthermore. there are fewer issues with reactive power flow. power quality and frequency regulation. resulting …

Iran is producing some 654MW of electricity out of clean energy which is projected to rise to 1GW by the yearend.

Extracting energy from the wind causes climatic impacts that are small compared to current projections of 21st century warming. but large compared to the effect of reducing US electricity emissions to zero with solar.
