Not exact matches

Of course, the more time kids spend playing outdoors the less time they'll spend at video - game consoles — which consume an estimated 16 billion kilowatt - hours of electricity annually, about four times the output of Hoover Dam.

It plans to increase its manufacturing capacity at its plant in Katsuragi, Japan, to produce enough cells to make 160 megawatts of electricity by October — and to bring its total annual output to enough cells to produce 1,000 megawatts by 2010 by building another factory in Sakai, Japan.

Although it will not be available on the US models at the time of launch, the Brake Energy Regeneration feature ensures that the output coming from the engine is converted primarily into drive power, with electricity being generated for the on - board network only when the engine's drive power is not in demand; for example, when the car is rolling freely in overrun (engine braking) or during application of the brakes.

At peak generation, this solar facility's electricity output would rival that of five large nuclear power plants.

They are intended to maximise the energy output from the Hywind turbines by mitigating peaks and troughs in production, storing surpluses at times when the grid is at or near full capacity and unable to accept further injections of electricity.

WHEN electricity demand peaked at the height of this week's heatwave in southern Australia, the total power output from the fleet of wind farms across Victoria and South Australia was almost zero.

Even with the sunk costs at Diablo Canyon, these challenges made it clear that cheaper options exist and «that California's new energy policies will significantly reduce the need for Diablo Canyon's electricity output.»

At times when the system is unable to absorb all of the electricity being generated, power stations are asked to reduce their output.

Good point on the cost thing, although the Hyperion site makes it abundantly clear that it's not targeted at commercial / residential uses (even though everyone converts the electricity output to «houses powered», including me)-- they're targeting high energy - use industrial customers, and such customers might find paying $ 30 million for a 20 MW transportable, pre-fab power plant that doesn't need hundreds of miles of power lines or a year to build a bargain.

California's wind resources and generator output tends to peak during the summer at a time when electricity demand in the state is also relatively high.

One solution, already proposed and under consideration, is to store at least a portion of the solar energy output as hot oil, or molten salt, to be used to produce electricity later at night.

It considers the 1/2 hourly demand in the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) in 2010 with all generation to be from a PV power station at a single location where the output profile is known in detail and a pumped hydro energy storage.

While total output from low carbon technologies, such as hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and nuclear power, has continued to grow, their share of global primary energy supply has remained relatively constant; fossil fuels have maintained their dominance and carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) has yet to be applied to electricity production at scale.

The situation was similar in neighboring Spain, where wind power accounted for 21 percent of electricity output, just shy of nuclear power, the leading source at 22 percent.

The limits are unfavorable for renewable energy sources (solar and wind power, which are variable in output), at around half of what was set for thermal power - generated (fossil - fuel) electricity.

To narrow the gap with PV panels, which make up 95 percent of the solar market, the U.S. - based Solar Energy Industries Association says CSP needs to reduce hardware costs and to twin its output with an energy storage element that will allow electricity production at night.

Electricity: Ten panel (16.2 m2) solar photovoltaic array — eight at 30 °, two on the flat later added to achieve A1 BER target — with average annual output of 2104 kWh / a

Quick back of envelope calculation at 50 % efficiency converting electricity to jet - a says you need the continuous output from a 500 megawatt reactor and it produces $ 300,000 per day worth of fuel or about $ 100 million per year.

Solar can't produce electricity at night, but as we've seen in Germany and Australia it doesn't take a lot of solar capacity to start pushing down electricty prices during the day and that is very bad for the economics of nuclear power as it's a high capital cost, low fuel cost source of energy and reducing output during periods of low demand doesn't do much to reduce costs.

The project's 20 - year power purchase agreement (PPA) calls for output to go to National Grid, one of New England's biggest electricity suppliers, at $ 0.244 / kWh.

This is true, but per average kilowatt of output, solar is much better at meeting demand than nuclear as it is load following, producing electricity during the day when demand is higher, while nuclear output is as constant as possible and is not dispatchable.

To address this threat to competitiveness, the Leach panel recommended that some of the revenues collected through the carbon tax — at least $ 2.5 billion, by some estimates — be returned to big emitters by way of a subsidy tied to how much they produce, whether it's barrels of oil or kilowatts of electricity or some other sector - specific output.

Despite massive construction of new capacity, electricity output from renewables, especially from wind and solar, grew at a sluggish rate.
