Power Generation and Use

Also indexed as: Electricity

Energy savings can be made throughout the Power Generation and Use chain, for example:

• Generation: One of the key objectives of SETatWork is to provide information on how CO₂ emissions can be reduced by introducing energy efficient and sustainable energy technologies.
• Nuclear Power: Electricity generation through the use of nuclear power is widespread around the world. There are a number of designs of reactor and for each there is a possibility of improving energy efficiencies. These devices produce virtually no greenhouse gases.
• Transmission: Most transmission networks lose about 3-6% of the power being transmitted. However in some parts of the developing world this can be as high as 20%. There are a number of technologies available that can help reduce these losses. better transformers in electricity distribution
• Use: There is a wide range of domestic and commercial appliances that consume large amounts of the world's electricity resources. These range from the humble office fan to the multilevel commercial refrigeration system. All can be improved to run on less electricity through better control, improved internal components or development of a better appreciation of waste.
