The Energy of Tomorrow

Wind Power: A Solution?

It is generally accepted that we will not be able to use oil and gas to power our homes forever. These energy forms contribute to pollution, and as a result, alternative, clean energy sources will be relied on more in the future. One of the most common alternative sources is wind power, but does this solve our energy problems?

It is well known that wind energy is a clean energy source. Not only is it sustainable, but it is also cheap. Furthermore, wind turbines perform reliably and are adaptable; they are perfect for both the city and the countryside. In countries such as Spain, more than 20% of the electricity used is already generated by wind turbines.

Disadvantages of Wind Power

However, there are... Continue reading "Wind and Solar Power: The Future of Energy?" »

Alternators and Generators

1. Alternators vs. DC Generators

Alternators produce a usable voltage level at lower RPMs than DC generators because alternators have more field poles.

2. Delta Wound Three-Phase Alternator Stator

The windings wired in relation to each other in a delta-wound three-phase alternator stator are in series.

3. Generator Output

Generator output is expressed in the number of amps at rated voltage.

4. AC 43.13 Electrical System Design

The AC 43.13 suggests that the electrical system of an aircraft be designed so that when all systems are operating, no more than 80% of generator capacity can be exceeded.

5. Reverse Current Cutout Relay

The main function of a reverse current cutout relay in a generator system is preventing motoring of... Continue reading "Aircraft Electrical Systems" »

Lesson 11: Informatics and ICT

What is Informatics?

Informatics is the science that studies the techniques and automated processes that act on data and information. The word "informatics" comes from the fusion of the terms "information" and "automatic".

What is ICT?

ICT stands for Information and Communication Technology. It is classified into three groups:

1. Networks: Broadband, Television, Radio, Satellites
2. Terminals: Television, Computers, Mobile Phones, Audio Players
3. Services: Radio, Online Banks, Electronic Commerce, Messenger Services

Distinctive Features of ICT

• Immateriality: Handling a lot of information in a small space.
• Interactivity: Users can communicate practically.
• Instantaneity: Linking processes are faster.
• Innovation: Continuous update of
