Engineering Challenges and Innovation in Power Engineering – Perspectives from my 2008 / 09 Vocational Employment Experience
نویسنده
چکیده
In the current economic, resource and carbon constrained climate, it is imperative that power distribution companies invest in only necessary network augmentation. However, with electricity demand growth over recent years doubling the electricity consumption growth, capital expenditure is following in a similar fashion relative to operational expenditure [1]. The need for greater infrastructure capacity is primarily driven by peak demand. The cause of this peak demand is from multiple customers using electricity concurrently, particularly during extreme hot / humid weather when air conditioning systems are in use. This objective of this essay is to detail the challenges facing the power engineering industry identified in my 2008/09 vocational employment experience.
