An Electricity Generation series of articles has been added to Lifebynumbers!
It’s a 10 page series of brief articles intended to provide insight to those who are not familiar with how electricity generation works or the high level considerations that enable it to function as an integrated grid resource.
The series topics are:
- An introduction to electricity generation for the grid
- A global view of energy
- Fundamentals of supply and demand
- Supply planning, scheduling, dispatch and constraints
- Generation by function
- Advanced concepts of grid supply
- The technology of electricity generation
- Generation by primary energy source
- Connecting generation to the grid
This series complements the solar and wind generation topics from 2019.
The basic supporting science is covered in additional detail in my updated article ‘Some Physics’.
Enjoy
