Several energy sources:
Combustibles Energy Source,
Solar
Power Energy Source,
Water
Power Energy Source,
Wind
Power Energy Source,
Geothermal Energy Source; are currently being explored for
considerations in determining the most effective energy source or
combination of energy sources to be
adopted as the default energy source for the world in replacement of
the fossil fuel energy sources:
Coal
Energy Source, Gasoline Energy Source, and Natural Gas Energy
Source; and the Nuclear Energy Source. A critical
factor towards the adoption of an Energy Source is the requirement of
ensuring the
corporate existence of the operating energy companies or
power generation companies, because of the need to have the citizen employees
continue to be employed
during and after the adoption of the alternative energy-source.
In
effect, this factor requires that
the
Source Adoption Technologies:
Solar Power Technologies, Combustion Technologies, are employed
in several concept design power generation system for
corporate operations with the object of supporting the existing operations of the power
generation companies; and then determine from a detailed analysis of
each such power generation system the most efficacious system for
suggestion for adoption. Of course, the analysis aims to also factor
in the contribution of the
production of green alcohols in the consideration of
Combustibles Energy Sources for power generation systems. This
factoring is sensible because the other energy sources are available
for the taking while the green alcohols have to be produced adding
to the overall cost of technology.
The adoption analyses are based on
complete designs suitable for deployment, but will not be disclosed
to the public particularly as such designs are likely to qualify as
proprietary and even more so when they should be deemed patentable.
All the same, the infrastructure will be generic enough for
consideration. Further the analyses shall focus on using mostly the
methods of engineering economy and cost engineering to determine the
required initial capital investment. On top of this cost will be added, the
cost of operation as shall be determined in an effort to evaluate
the total cost of ownership of technology to a corporation.
Naturally, the cost of operation is determined in each case through
an analysis of the cost of
venture development based on the given concept power generation
technology drastically
summarized financial reports serves as the basis by which the
technology adoption comparative evaluations are made.
Distributed Power Generation
- Basic Design
For the purposes of the
analysis of the viability of the prospective power generators, a
default design infrastructure is adopted in order to maintain a
|
uniform basis for the valuation
of each technology followed by the comparative evaluation of the
technologies. The basic design is then specialized for each type of
energy source in the specifics of the adoption of that energy
source. In the case of the adoption of the Green alcohols, the
specialization appropriately includes the production processes:
Green Ethanol Production,
Green Butanol Production, Green Propanol Production,
Green
Methanol Production; to enable a more comprehensive analysis
The basic infrastructure of
the power generation systems consists of three
component-technologies:
- The Energy Extractor,
- Electric-Potential
Generator,
- Power Storage Systems, and
- Power Distribution System.
Operationally, the Energy
Extractor extracts the energy from the Energy source, and transmits
it to the Electric Potential Generator which takes the energy in the
source-form and converts it into electric potential - also commonly
referred to as electricity - some of which is distributed through
the Power Distribution Systems to various customers downstream, and
the rest is stored in the Power Storage Systems in compliance with
any production leveling strategy that may have been put in-place.
The Energy Extractor and the Electric Potential Generators are
expected to be and are different for each type of Energy Source
under consideration, however, the other component-technologies may
be the same for all considerations, and in fact are made so to
further limit the variations to be accounted for in the comparative
analyses.
The Power Storage Systems are
of two kinds:
Hydrogen Energy Source production and storage, and High Voltage
Capacitor Storage designs. Although in this component, the capacitor
storage tends to be more standard to use for all adoption
technologies, the consideration of hydrogen as a storage is included
to accommodate proposals of water Energy Source adoption as in
Slow-Moving water Inc
involving the use of
hydrogen as a energy distribution vehicle.
The Power
Distribution System, by and large, is limited to just the internal
design from which the external
power transmission network takes off, but does not include the
external network proper.
By these definitions of
scope, then the analysis of the Power generation systems as
conducted for each Energy Source is focuses on the specialization of
the technologies for the specific Source.

Energy
Adoption Power Systems |
The design of any Distributed
Power Generation System can be integrated in several
ways depending on the selection of equipment. However, for
effective comparative analysis of the different alternative
sources for global adoption, the corresponding power systems
have been grouped under the various forms of energy sources.
Simulations of energy adoption Power systems are the subject of the
