What is the start up time for wave power station?
The world's first commercial wave farm, generating electricity from ocean waves is based in Portugal, at the Aguçadora Wave Park, and there is funding available for farms of various designs in Scotland, Oregon (US), Cornwall (UK) and Western Australia. At the moment there are various small pilot studies being carried on throughout the world to generate electricity from ocean waves. Depending on the size, the design and the money available the start up time could be anything from two years up to ten.
Second city in world to get electricity?
Kimberly in South Africa
What were the first 4 cities in the world to get electricity?
I have heard New York City was the first city in the world to use electricity. The second city was San Jose, Costa Rica. Then Paris.
What is the conclusion for a hydro-electric power?
Hydropower is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. No other energy source, renewable or nonrenewable, can match it. Producing electricity from hydropower is cheap because, once a dam has been built and the equipment installed, the energy source-flowing water-is free. Although Hydropower does present a few environmental problems the inherent technical, economic and environmental benefits of hydroelectric power make it an important contributor to the future world energy mix,
How did Thomas edision innovations in electricity most significantly affect people?
It is not exactly correct to describe electricity as an invention. There are a great many inventions that use electricity, but electricity itself is part of the natural world (most obviously in the form of lightning). Therefore it was discovered, rather than invented. The discovery of electricity and the various uses that were invented for it have transformed our world in very profound ways. Almost all of modern technology depends, directly or indirectly, on electricity and its uses. Without it, we would still be living in the middle ages.
How is biomass used in the real world?
Its used to generate electricity!!!!:)
What is used to generate electricity in parts of Central?
It would be the same resources used to generate electricity anywhere else in the world. Many poor countries cannot provide solar, wind, or nuclear electricity. 3rd world and most 2nd world countries are dependant on fossil fuels. Generators are a mobil way to provide electricity and use either diesel or 87-92 octain fuels.
What types of wave power are there?
Using the power of ocean waves to generate electricity. Throughout the world various companies are trialling pilot schemes, with one commercial project successfully running in Portugal. Most consist of different kinds of buoys, floating on the surface, or tethered on the sea bed that capture the ocean's movement and use it to generate electricity which is then transferred to the shore. See the Related Link below.
What is the majority of the world's electricity is supplied by?
The majority of the world's electricity is supplied by fossil fuels, specifically coal, natural gas, and oil. These sources are used in power plants to generate electricity through combustion or steam turbines.
How can be use tidal energy?
Tidal energy, that is, the movement of large amounts of water as the tide ebbs and flows, is being harnessed in various places and experiments around the world. A good position is where a lot of water rushes in and out of a narrow channel, because a turbine there can capture the force and generate electricity. Other trials continue trying to harness the constant power of the waves to generate electricity. All this is, of course, renewable energy.
What is the energy source used to generate most electricity?
Coal is the most used source for electricity in the US. World wide, other countries, I don't know.

Is nuclear fission currently used to produce electricity?
Yes, nuclear fission is currently used to produce electricity in nuclear power plants around the world. This process involves splitting atoms to release energy, which heats water to produce steam, driving turbines that generate electricity.
What is the US's ranking in the world for generating electricity from wind?
As of 2021, the United States ranks second in the world for generating electricity from wind. China is the leading country in terms of wind power capacity.
What fossil fuel is used to generate most of the world's electricity?
Coal is the fossil fuel used to generate most of the world's electricity. It is a significant source of energy due to its abundance and relatively low cost compared to other fossil fuels. However, efforts are being made to shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources to reduce environmental impact.
What are the uses and importance of fossil fuel?
I am only 13 but this is what we learnt: Fossil fuels are converted to generate electricity. Fossil fuels are destroying the world and are constantly running low on them. Some day there will be an end to them that is why we are trying to make other ways to generate electricity like solar power and kinetic (wind) power. Hope this helps?!
Where is nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is harnessed in nuclear power plants, where nuclear reactions generate heat to produce electricity. This form of energy is used to generate about 10% of the world's electricity, with countries such as the United States, France, and China having significant nuclear energy capacity.
