Sentences with phrase «power over long distances»

«HVDC has the ability to transmit large amounts of power over long distances with lower capital costs and with lower losses than AC.

(High Voltage Direct Current [HVDC] is increasingly used to efficiently transmit large quantities of power over long distances.)

To send power over long distances, you need a high voltage bulb.

HVDC technology can move more power over longer distances with less electrical loss than alternating current (AC) transmission routes; by doing so, HVDC transmission preserves land resources and maximizes clean energy availability.

Not exact matches

Puerto Rico's energy system currently routes electricity over long distances, which creates choke points for power, and the responsibility for these power lines that traverse the sparsely populated parts of the island fall to PREPA.

The development of electric cars stutters forwards thanks to the lack of ways to power them cheaply, efficiently and over long distances.

The secret to the wheel's power to move loads over long distances is that it magnifies the actions of the axle: just a small rotation of the axle results in a much larger motion on the part of the wheel.

But that, too, has its problems — not just of power loss and heat generation over long distances, but also of public acceptability and cost.

The most efficient over long distances is high - voltage DC (HVDC), which employs converter stations analogous to the transfer stations that mediate power flow among the nation's Eastern, Western, and Texas grids today.

Kadambi also conducted tests in which he sent a light signal through 500 meters of optical fiber with regularly spaced filters along its length, to simulate the power falloff incurred over longer distances, before feeding it to his system.

The researchers will also test the method in high - voltage cables for direct current, since direct current is more efficient than alternating current for power transmission over very long distances.

That stump - pulling power makes a huge difference in road manners, too, especially hitched up, and the myriad of towing features make the job easier, whether pulling over long distances or just around the corner.

But the car's power box, which we have developed and which has been used by Porsche in their LMP2 car, soon realized that it was unusual for a racing car to go that sideways over such a long distance, so it automatically cut off the fuel supply to the engine and all the electrics and thus prevented even bigger damage.»

The car's design followed a tradition Maserati had pioneered with the glorious A6 1500 of 1947, a grand tourer that delivered on the promise of advanced style, high - powered luxury and peerless comfort over the longest distance.

By increasing the voltage to a very high level, large quantities of electricity can be transmitted over long distances with little loss of power.

Competition between natural gas and coal appeared first in the Southeast, where coal - fired power was more expensive due to the cost of transporting coal over long distances.

Electric power transmission is the process by which electricity is transported over long distances to consumers.

Insofar as coal or gas have to be imported or transported over long distances, it pushes the price of power up higher than clean alternatives.

In the case of the Northwest Shelf, gas - fired power plants outside Port Hedland could transmit electricity to Sydney over long - distance HVDC power lines instead of piping the natural gas itself to gas - fired power plants in, say, the Hunter Valley.

Yes, there are places in the United States where the sun is likely to shine on an un-obscured basis far more often than in other places, and transmission via HVDC lines (rather than AC) has materially less loss over long distances (and is convenient for solar since a solar cell generates DC power in the first place; as such it requires only one conversion, to AC at the receiving end, if HVDC transmission is used.)

Another big hint was the fact that the blob seemed to be following the wind; butterflies are able to fly long distances, sometimes over 200 miles in a day, thanks to the carrying power of the prevailing winds.

They also happen to produce more power than isolation - type movements by allowing us to move large loads over long distances, quickly.

That's the power of 5 GHz, although it doesn't function as well over long distances like 2.4 GHz.
