HYBRID POWER
ENGINEERED POWER GENERATION
Hybrid power in partnership with Sunner Solar Corporation.
EXCELLENCE IN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AND MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE
Hybrid power was launched in 2000 by Zoheb Khan as a research and consulting firm. We are now doing any thing to do with power generation in clean energy pollution free which provides specialist services in all aspects of sustainable energy and climate change. Hybrid power is entering a new phase of rapid growth, in line with the global imperative to tackle the human impact on the climate through the use of renewable energy technologies.
Research shows huge number of problems we will be facing in the present and the future. More than 50% oil plants being destroyed in Middle East countries. Due to this, fossil fuel is decreasing and soon will disappear because of these problems we have to look at other ways of providing clean energy at cheaper cost (power from nature).
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Renewable energy can supply a significant proportion of the south Pacific’s energy needs, creating many public benefits for the nation including environmental improvement, increased fuel diversity and national security, and regional economic development benefits.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
Using fossil fuels--coal, oil and natural gas—to make electricity dirties the nation’s air, consumes and pollutes water, hurts plants and animal life, creates toxic wastes, and causes global warming. Using nuclear fuels poses serious safety risks.
Renewable energy resources can provide many immediate environmental benefits by avoiding these impacts and risks and can help conserve fossil resources for future generations. Care must nevertheless be taken to mitigate them.
AIR POLLUTION
Clean air is essential to life and good health. Air pollution aggravates asthma, the number one children’s health problem. Air pollution also causes disease and even premature death among vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and people with lung disease.
NITROGEN OXIDES
Burning fossil fuels either to produce electricity or to power transportation emits nitrogen oxides (nox) into the air. In the presence of sunlight, nitrogen oxides combine with other chemicals to form ground-level ozone (smog). Both nitrogen oxides and ozone can irritate the lungs, cause bronchitis and pneumonia, and decrease resistance to respiratory infections.
CARBON DIOXIDE
Carbon dioxide (co2) is the most important of the green house gases, which contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere.
Burning fossil fuels has resulted in the highest levels of carbon dioxide ever recorded.
Altered weather patterns from changes in climate may result in more extreme weather events. Some areas will suffer more drought and others more flooding putting crop production under great stress in some regions. The character of our forest could change dramatically. Other expected impacts include and increase in heat-related deaths, increased loss of animal and plant species, and the spread pests and diseases into new regions with less resistance to them.
OTHER POLLUTANTS
Burning fossil fuels, especially coal and oil, produces a host of other air pollutants in addition to those discussed above. Among them are:
1. Carbon monoxide (co), which can cause headaches and place additional stress on people with heart disease.
2. Hydrocarbons (HC) which come from unburned fossil fuels and contribute to smog.
3. Large particles such as dust, soot, smoke, and other suspended matter, which are respiratory irritants.
4. Small (so-called “fine”) particles, which have been linked to chronic bronchitis, aggravated asthma, and premature deaths.
Once deposited in nature, toxic wastes can accumulate in the fatty tissue of animals and humans. They can cause severe health problems, such as mental retardation, nervous system damage, and developmental disorders. Due to the accumulation of toxic metals in fish-some of it as a result of air pollution.
Water, land, and thermal pollution. Energy production and use have profound impacts on water and land. There are direct impacts, such as oil spills and coal mining, drilling, and refining, to shipping, use, and disposal.
Fossil fuels produce heat energy when burned, some of which is used to generate electricity. Because the process in inefficient, about two-thirds of the heat is released to the atmosphere or to water used as coolant. Heated water once returned to rivers or lakes can upset the aquatic ecosystem. And water intake, out-flow, and cooling systems can trap and kill fish and fish larvae.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF REDUCING ENVIROMENTAL IMPACTS
The many environmental impacts described above result in real costs to society and to individuals.
The largest external costs from pollution are probably human health costs, in the form of health treatment costs, higher health insurance rates, missed work, and lost life.
DIVERSITY AND ENERGY SECURITY BENEFITS
Renewable offer benefits not only because they can reduce pollution, but because they add an economically stable source of energy to the mix of the south pacific generation technologies.
Natural gas is generally considered the fuel of choice for new power generation, because it is cleaner than coal and sometimes less expensive. But over reliance on natural gas could also create problems. Fossil fuels are susceptible to supply shortage and price spikes.
Since most renewable do not depend on fuel markets, they are not subject to price fluctuations resulting from increased demand, decreased supply, or manipulated of the market. Renewable resources are not subject to control or supply interruptions from outside the region or country.
Fuel diversity is important to the commonwealth’s future. It would not be advisable to place all out eggs in the natural gas basket.
An additional benefit of increased competition from renewable-and thus reduced demand for fossil fuels-could be lower prices for electricity generated from fossil fuels.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS
Renewable energy technologies can not only keep dollars in the south pacific, but also create significant regional benefits through economic development. Renewable technologies create jobs using local resources in a new, “green, ” high-tech industry with enormous export potential. They also expand work indirectly in local support industries, like banks and construction firms.
Some renewable technologies, like biomass, are relatively labor intensive, which is one of the reasons they are slightly more expensive than their fossil fuel counterparts. For example, growing, harvesting, and transporting biomass fuels all require labor, as does maintaining the equipment. This means that much of the revenue for installing, fuelling, and operating renewable power plants remains within the region where the power is used.
Renewables can mean increased revenue for local landowners. Renewables can contribute heavily to local taxes.
In addition to creating jobs, renewables can improve the economic competitiveness of a region by enabling it to avoid additional costly environmental controls on other industries, as well as by stabilizing long term energy prices.
Renewables can also contribute to economic development by providing opportunities to build export industries. In developing countries that do not have electricity grids, pipeline, or other energy infrastructure, renewable energy can be the most cost effective options for electrifying rural villages.
OTHER NONTRADITIONAL BENEFITS
Because some renewable technologies are small and modular, they can be sited in or near buildings where energy is used. These distributed generation technologies offer some benefits that utilities have usually not considered.
Perhaps most importantly, distributed generation technologies can avoid costly expenditures on transmission and distribution. For example, a utility putting distributed generation in a new neighborhood might be
Able to use smaller transformers or reduce the size or number of power lines going to the neighborhood. Distributed generation reduces the wear and tear on existing distribution equipment. And distribution generation reduces power losses through the transmission system, so that less electricity needs to be produced in the first place.
Distributed generation can also provide premium power to customers, improving power quality and system reliability companies with critical electricity needs like hospitals, airports, and computer dependent firms, pay a premium to ensure reliable power, since the cost of outages can be huge. Generation on site, with small renewable, generators, is one way to meet those needs.
Because renewables are typically small, modular, and require shot lead times for installation, they can benefit electricity companies’ planning. Companies using modular technologies can add capacity in small increments as needed, rather than planning large power plants many years in advance, only to find that they may not be needed when they finally go online.
