national electricity market. This portion of the charges is negotiable and the consumer can enter into a contract with the retailer of their choice. The contracted energy prices are multiplied by distribution and transmission loss factors to arrive at the final prices. The loss factors relate to the energy losses that take place during the transmission and distribution of electricity. Transmission losses vary by geographic location and distribution losses vary according to the voltage at which the supply is taken. Loss factors are regulated and apply for one year commencing July each year. The Australian Energy Market Operator publishes loss factors…
when the world will wake up to news about great achievements enabling using alternative sources without any main restrictions. This moment will be very soon, and this sparks my motivations to be an effective and contributing electrical power engineer in this paradigm shift. This rapid increase of renewable sources integration necessarily leads to new power grids. In brief, my research concerns fundamental engineering and economic challenges facing our rapidly evolving electricity smart grid.…
Background The Smart meter technology is not new to the world. Saskpower commenced its Automated Infrastructure Program in 2010. The main purpose of this technology was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of metering customers' electricity usage. Saskpower completed its vendor procurements and selected Sensus for supply of meters and AMI technology and Grid One solutions for the installations. The first field testing began in 2012 in Hanley, SK. After that a lot of meters were installed.…

The discovery of electricity and the invention of the lightbulb in the mid-19th century revolutionized the American society, politics, and culture. During the mid 19th century life was different: candles were the only source of light, transport was steam-powered, food was stored in ice boxes. However, within the next fifty years, electricity would change that. In 1878, Thomas Edison invented the incandescent lightbulb; in 1888, Frank Sprague’s electric trolley system became the first…
Slaves to batteries and power outlets; we have entered the new America. Energy, power, electricity all impose the same idea for us in today's world. We are in an ever ending loop of searching for a source of power that is both efficient and clean. As a child, the thoughts of how electricity powers everything from a toaster to our own brain sparked my interest in electrical engineering. The thoughts of creating light from a potato is unfathomable. I have burnt myself countless of times trying to…
Given that the electromotive force in the secondary winding is directly proportional to the drop in the magnetic field, it follows that there is a larger drop of the magnetic field for the straight core, thus, the electromotive force will be larger. A tank capacitor is the component within the circuit which is responsible for storing a huge quantities of an electrical energy in an electric field. It can be visualised as a type of a „sponge“, slowly „soaking up“ the electricity for a couple of…
notebooks leaves one with the impression that Eureka! moments were frequent in the laboratory.” (McAuliffe) He was always looking for a new idea to chew on and explore, and acknowledged that his employees were able to help him do so. The ways in which Edison handled his environment bred new and decisive innovations in technology. Edison’s impacts on America were large, well known, and widespread. One of his largest feats was the popularization and standardization of Direct Current (DC)…
of annual consumption of electrical energy in the UK has a reducing trend over the years. As per the statistics of 2015, there has been a decrease in demand by 0.5% to 358 TWh comparing to the previous year. At the same time, the rate of supply has slightly increased by 0.5% to 360 TWh from 2014.This reduction in the rate of demand could possibly be as a result of more usage of LED lamps over incandescent lamps, other energy efficiency improvements and last years’ mild winter.[2] 2.2. ANNUAL…
