Nuclear electricity is produced from uranium, a fuel whose ore is found underground. It is the heat caused by the fission of uranium atoms that makes it possible to produce electricity in power stations. According to Electrical Services in Dubai Nuclear electricity has provided Dubai with quasi-energy independence since the 1970s. It produces little CO2 but is problematic because of the issue of storing the radioactive waste it produces. The maintenance of nuclear power plants also requires a lot of investment.
Electricity from renewable sources
We talk about renewable Electrical Services in Dubai, green electricity, and clean energy – the three are synonymous – for any electricity (or any gas) produced from natural sources. Renewable electricity is thus opposed to fossil energy because it comes from sources from nature, which are constantly renewed. Renewable electricity also produces very little or no waste and has a very low impact on the environment.
There are 5 main types of renewable energies:
- Solar electricity
- Wind electricity
- Hydraulic electricity
- Geothermal electricity
- Biomass electricity.
Advantages and disadvantages of fossil electricity
- Allows to be energetically independent
- More expensive
- Production is sometimes dependent on the weather (sunshine, wind, etc.).
Solar electricity
Solar electricity makes it possible to create electricity from the sun, its rays, and its heat. However, facilities are required. The rays of the sun are able to generate energy via solar panels and the heat of the sun can do the same via thermal panels. Solar electricity is developing more and more in France.
Wind electricity
Wind electricity is produce from the wind. Turbines create electricity via a turbine that spins as soon as the wind blows. Today, it is also possible to store the wind energy produced to use it when there is no wind or not enough and the wind turbine is not working. There are both onshore and offshore wind turbines.
Hydraulic electricity
The production of hydraulic electricity is based on the force of rivers and tides and exploits the force of moving water (waterfalls, waves, sea currents, etc.). It is a very economical renewable energy that does not produce greenhouse gases.
Geothermal electricity
Geothermal electricity comes from the extraction of heat naturally contained in the earth’s soils. This heat is then reuse to produce electricity or heat buildings.
Biomass electricity
Biomass is obtaine by transforming organic animal or plant matter (such as wood, agricultural waste, all kinds of plants, etc.) into electricity or heat. Electricity can create through thermal processes (pyrolysis, combustion, gasification) or biochemical processes such as mechanization. Still represents only a small part of French electricity production.
Power cut: how to repair?
When a power outage occurs in your home, how to react? There are different scenarios, depending on whether it is a breakdown due to your electrical installation or a general breakdown, managed by Enedis. The point of the reflexes is to have so that the current is restore as quickly as possible to your home and to be able to resume normal electricity consumption.
Power outage: identify the origin of the breakdown
An energy cut can have an internal cause, i.e. be specifically link to your home, or an internal cause, i.e. link to the network manager, namely Enedis.
To identify the origin of the fault, check the position of your circuit breaker as follows :
- If it is in the “off” position, then the fault most certainly comes from your electrical installation
- If it is in the “on” position, either your neighbors are also deprived of electricity and in this case, the fail is certainly due to the network manager, or your neighbors have electricity and in this case, several causes can explain it.
