Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is one power technology of those attractive new energy storage technologies. It aggregated those vehicles with battery (Hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles, and plug- in hybrid electric vehicles) into the grid as a distributed resource of energy load, storage and generation device. It is not only adding the ability to deliver power from vehicle to the grid, but also can apply the power flow (Lund & Kempton, 2008). V2G technology provides potential solutions…
During WWI, land battles were fought in trenches with guns. Twenty years after WWI, ground war and land battles transformed. It transformed from static trench warfare to very mobile battlefields. The reason for this transformation was the introduction of military vehicles. Artillery vehicles, armored cars, and tanks were the most effective military vehicles of their time. Armored cars were lightly armed and wheeled and often used as command vehicles, though they saw their share of combat.…
Renewable Energy vs Non-Renewable Energy Search release for U.S. Dept. of Energy the U.S.A. consumed more than 25,000 TWh of energy in the year of 2011,but from this amount just 11.7% was provide from renewable energy. As reported by Klare (2012), energy sources caused and cause many conflicts around the world. It causes the conflicts between Sudan and South Sudan, when Sudan tried to occupy the oil center of Heglig. It was the reason for a naval clash between China and Philippine, for an island…
are an essential piece of the American political system created by the Framers of the Constitution, despite the fact that the Framers originally considered the judicial branch to be the “least dangerous branch” of government because it lacked the power “of the sword and of the purse” (Hamilton 1778). However, the Supreme Court has proved itself to be a powerful political actor with the capability to make a profound impact on policy when conditions are ripe for it to do so. Nearly all of the…
use of nuclear energy is the very epitome of this. While it provides an alternative to the energy sources we use today, nuclear power comes with great risks that can take a lot to fix. However, I believe that with the proper precautions in place, we should continue the use of nuclear energy because the advantages it brings outweigh its drawbacks greatly. Nuclear power plants generate about 12.3% of the world’s electricity,1 generally using Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239 for the nuclear fission…
cultures harnessed the power wind had to offer, windmills spread from Persia to the surrounding areas of the Middle East. Food Production leaned on windmills extensively. In 5,000 B.C., wind power propelled boats along the Nile River. Wind power technology spread north to the European countries, where windmills helped drain lakes and marches in the Rhine River Delta. In the 1800’s wind power helped farmers in North America pump water for irrigation systems. Windmills also generated power for…
fossil fuels, but they prove to be cleaner and much safer for our environment. Renewable energy sources create energy in many different forms and ways. For example, the way that hydroelectricity is created can be compared to the way a coal-fueled power plant works. This…
Why Nuclear Power is not a Solution Nuclear Power is being considered more as an energy source. Nuclear energy is the energy in the nucleus of an atom. Atoms are the smallest particles that can break a material. Each atom there are two kinds of particles: neutrons and protons. This energy can be obtained in two ways: fusion and nuclear fission. In nuclear fusion, atoms fused together forming only one atom, as a sun produce energy. In nuclear fission, atoms break in smaller atoms, only this way…
Al-Anon Family Group Al-Anon is a support group for family members of those who are struggling with alcoholism and using the twelve-step model (Fisher & Harrison, 2013). It is a program designed for people who want to recover from the effects of someone else’s drinking. The sole purpose of Al-Anon is to help families of alcoholics. Members share their experiences with others and learn how to apply the principles of the twelve-step program to their specific situations. Members of Al-Anon learn…
elements produced enormous sums of energy in the form of both heat and radiation; these hazardous explosions covered entire cities in an iconic mushroom smog cloud. The infamous explosive smog can be seen in Figure 1 to understand the catastrophic power of this energy release. The meticulous challenge for scientists since then has been to research how…
