United Kingdom is
facing a strong problem, which is related to the source of power. People have
an idea that the United Kingdom is one of the most powerful countries in the
world. However, a sufficient dearth of energy is created today and power has to
be imported from other nations. Many people are not aware of the fact. It is
seen that the U. K has imported more than 5 % of the electric power that is
consumed by the people within the country.
Three major nations, chiefly in France,
Ireland and Netherland have contributed to the power supply. Amongst them,
France has contributed the most. The electricity has been purchased at a
steeper price and people have paid more than the amount they used to pay in
their own country. In adverse situations, like the blackout period there must
be an alternate source of power to generate electricity, as this scenario
cannot continue for long. The alternate source of power will also be beneficial
in case there is a drop in the grid voltage or some type of fault in the
transmission line.
On the other hand, we know that energy
can be transformed to its other forms like heat, light, sound, etc. The best
way is to utilize the solar energy. Solar energy can be converted to electric
energy. The concept is used in solar cookers, solar water heaters, solar lamps,
etc. This happens as the instrument has solar cells, which absorbs the solar
energy. Although, it seems to be very beneficial, yet the process is difficult
to follow in countries like U.K, as it is hardly possible to get sunlight round
the year. This method is a good source to provide an alternate source of
energy. But, it is not applicable to countries like United Kingdom.
The development of new technology has
introduced the Diesel Generators. They can solve the problem of power generation alternately.
They are safe in nature and operate on fuel. Fuel is required to carry out
their function. They are capable of meeting all the requirements of a person
and they are beneficial for commercial purposes.
Many places like schools, colleges and
commercial office buildings use these generators as they generate electricity
whenever there is a lack of electricity. It consists of a modified engine,
which is known as the heart of the generator. They vary in their make as well
as model. Their technical specifications are different and they differ from
model to model. You must know the specification before you go to purchase.
