Sentences with phrase «transmission lines required»

Not exact matches

This integration will require new power transmission lines, but who pays for them is always a sticking point between provinces.

Environmentalists have long urged Ontario to import more clean power from Quebec's hydro - electric dams, but officials always said that would require huge and expensive upgrades to the transmission lines linking the two provinces.

The commission released a new rule on June 17 that would require that mandates for renewable energy — enacted in 36 states nationwide — be taken into account when determining where and when new transmission lines get installed.

On Sept. 9, 2011, high temperatures tripped a transmission line near Yuma, Ariz., sparking a chain of events that shut down the San Onofre nuclear power plant, caused the release of untreated sewage and required San Diego residents to boil their drinking water.

These birds will be crucial to the future stages of germ - line transmission research that require extensive handling of captive birds.

A particular developmental stage of germ - cells is required for germ - line transmission to work, which is the earliest stage known as «primordial germ cells.»

What exactly is the technology that will allow us to use renewable energy sources that all seem to require a vast amount of space without putting up transmission lines?

In addition, many of these developments require infrastructure changes such as transmission lines and energy storage faclilities (mainly pumped hydroelectric storage) to become practical in the long term.

Solar photovoltaics require massive subsidies for now; solar thermal needs permission to build in Southwestern deserts, and rights of way to build the necessary transmission lines to population centers (very few people live in Death Valley).

In a statement, NYPA explained the ability to increase the voltage when the demand requires «is a cost - effective way to add on more renewable power, especially from in - state renewable generation, anywhere along the transmission line.»

For example, to increase the U.S.'s renewable energy capacity to 17 % would require installing 162,000 megawatts of power — a six-fold increase in our existing capacity.14 This would also require the installation of thousands of miles of new transmission lines from the upper Midwest to the South, costing as much as $ 93 billion and taking decades to complete.15 Given the scope of this task, narrowing policy options to renewable energy alone creates an unnecessary obstacle to a transition to clean energy.

Wind power is so dilute that to collect a significant quantity of wind energy will always require thousands of gigantic towers each with a massive concrete base and a network of interconnecting heavy duty roads and transmission lines.

The call for tenders specifies the total amount of capacity required, the time lines for capacity establishment, the fuel options as defined in the Government's power plant establishment plan, the type of plant (base load, load following, peaking capacity), possible transmission constraints that have to be taken into account, and in certain cases a price cap, i.e. maximum average price that the new plant can be expected to earn throughout its economic life.

That's because a working electricity system fueled mostly by wind turbines requires additional massive costs that a fossil fuel system does not: huge excess capacity (perhaps 300 - 400 %) to deal with conditions of light wind; gigantic batteries to store power for conditions of no wind at all, which can persist for days; extra transmission lines to bring electricity from windier areas to the rest of the country; and finally, an entire array of fossil fuel back - up plants for those occasions when the wind doesn't blow for a week and the batteries are dead.

Transmission: Solar power also requires more expensive transmiTransmission: Solar power also requires more expensive transmissiontransmission lines.

The steel, copper, lithium, cobalt, rare - earth elements, fiberglass, and other raw materials to build all those turbines, batteries, and transmission lines would require massive quantities of earth removal, mining, processing, smelting, and manufacturing — much of it in developing countries under dangerous, inhuman conditions.

Oh, better transmission length than I thought: «For comparison, while single - line, voice - grade copper systems longer than a couple of kilometers require in - line signal repeaters for satisfactory performance; it is not unusual for optical systems to go over 100 kilometers (62 mi), with no active or passive processing.»

If we'd need 10,000 nuclear plants, how many solar plants would be required to achieve the same power and reliability; and how much area, how far apart would they have to be placed to provide reliable supply, how much storage would be required, how much transmission line length and capacity would be required how much total materials and how much transport between all the processing, production, construction and decomissioning steps?

For transmission planning, the most cost effective solution in cases that require considerable grid reinforcements would be to build the transmission network for the final planned amount of wind power in the network — instead of having to upgrade transmission lines in several phases.

For example, getting anywhere close to 20 % of our final energy from wind and solar will require a total redesign of the power system with heavy investments in flexible power plants, long distance transmission lines, demand response and energy storage.

Assertion: «getting anywhere close to 20 % of our final energy from RES will require a total redesign of the power system with heavy investments in flexible power plants, long distance transmission lines, demand response and energy storage» — most Western countries have gas networks easily able to carry the (P2G generated) gas needed for those «flexible power plants».

To deliver the power to a market (in Adelaide) would require a transmission line about 200 km long if it went via Backstairs Passage to minimise the length of undersea cable (14 km).

In solar, production is only 10 % of capacity (peak production only occurs at best 15 % of each day), and is produced far from the place of use, so it requires huge investment in plant and backup generation, plus in dedicated transmission lines (which experience high energy loss in transmission).

As a result, most wind turbines are built in remote areas, requiring expensive longdistance transmission lines.

This requires very expensive high capacity, high voltage, transmission lines.

Of course, that will require the permitting and building of more transmission lines.

As in China, some of the best U.S. wind resources are located in remote areas and require new or upgraded transmission lines to move electricity to population centers.

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.)

Distributed Power Generation One of the benefits of this kind of distributed generation is that the power is produced near where it is used, reducing transmission losses and the infrastructure costs that would be required to build new power lines.

More expansive transmission lines will also be required to connect that capacity to the grid, with full implementation potentially taking up to 15 years.

The new generation sources require new transmission lines as the sources of power are dramatically reconfigured based on «good wind» and similar locational characteristics that have not mattered before.
