A Report On A Hydro Electric Station

As the global population increases exponentially, having passed six billion in 1999, the world population is expected to be 8.9 billion by the year 2050. The worlds energy consumption will increase by an estimated 54 percent by 2025. Energy demand in the industrialized world is projected to grow 1.2 percent per year. Energy is a critical component of sustained economic growth and improved standards of living. One of the major requirements for sustaining human progress is an adequate source of energy. As the world’s technological enhancements and standards of living improve, so too does their appetite for electricity.

The climate in France differs in different parts. The North part of France is rainy and temperate. Central east and the upland areas have continental climate. Southern part of France is cool, with moist winters and hot dry summers. West is rainy and is influenced by Atlantic ocean. They have a moderate winter.

France as it is known today did not adopt its current constitution until 1958. The government of France is a unitary semi-presidential constitutional republic. This governmental system is very similar to that of the United States the only difference being the existence of a Prime Minister and a Cabinet which both compliment the President. Other parliamentary systems such as India, Japan merely elects a President as more of ceremonial head of State. However the French President actually works with some power (Hou, Stephen). The President is the head of the armed forces and actually has control over France’s nuclear deterrents. The president is also in charge of selecting the nine members of France’s constitutional council, which then decide the constitutionality of some laws (The Local). The Prime Minister is more so in charge of determining policy and general direction that the country will take. The official language and most widely

Energy is crucial to almost every major and opportunity the world faces today. From the perception of jobs, security, climate change, food production or increasing incomes, access to sustainable energy for all is essential for strengthening economies, protecting ecosystems and achieving equity.

The energy issues have long been complicated and highly discussed for energy affects many aspects of the modern society and people’s daily lives, e.g. oil prices, energy reserves, monthly electricity bills etc. Since my father is working in the Investment and Marketing department of China Citi Bank, I was encouraged to read energy-related reports and journals from the newspapers when I was growing up. Later on I became interested in the energy market, including energy commodity trading and portfolio management. Furthermore, as a

Currently, it's clear that there is an immense problem with the prospect of society's energy needs for the future. Such a large dependency on limited fossil fuels are already dampening the world's economy, and following this path will simply ensure a destitute future. However, changes could be made in today's time to prevent such an event from occurring, but it will require many separate state entities to work together and no longer undermine each other's attempts at reform. Some alternatives to fossil fuels include solar, hydro, and wind power, but replacing the resources would only be a small step to protecting the future. A more necessary change would be the

France is the largest country in the European Union. It is located in western Europe with Spain on its south west and Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, on its north. The Mediterranean Sea is located on its south west. The climate for the country is varied. On the Mediterranean coast, the summers are hot and winters are mild. For the remainder of the country, the summers are mild and winters are cold (“Europe:France”2017).

Renewable energy is without a doubt the solution to the worlds energy needs. As time progress as does the technology avaiablible to us. With this advancing technology we have seen some major strides made in the area of renewable energy. As you are most likely aware the main renewable energy sources are Wind, Solar, and Hydroelectricity. With the rising awareness of the affects fossil fuels has on our environment the time to act is now. All forms of energy have their advantages and dis-advantages, however this field is constantly advancing with the times and moving forward. The purpose of this paper is to discuss hydroelectricity and how it works while also looking at the benefits as well as areas that need improvement. Additionally discussed is the use of Solar-hydro power plants and its pro’s and con’s. Is hydroelectric power the best answer to the world’s energy needs, and are hybrid power plants a better option?

Energy security is the nonstop accessibility of energy sources at an inexpensive price, To provide solid economic growth and to maintain high levels of economic performance, energy must be readily available, affordable and be able to provide a reliable source of power without vulnerability to long or short term disruptions. Interruption of energy supplies can cause major financial losses and create chaos in economic loss as well as potential damage to the health and wellbeing of the population.

France is a country with a long and proud history. Sitting in the heart of Europe France is a large and influential country, the center of agriculture in Europe while also having a strong and diverse industrial base. Historically The French Republic, as it is officially known, has been seen as standard bearer of western secular liberalism, a stance that at times marks the French people as targets for religious and secular extremists alike.

Culture refers to the way of life of a particular society or group. The five features of culture are: customs and traditions, religion, arts and literature, government, and language. The word “culture” actually originated from France. It derived from a French term, (also from the Latin version) “colere”, meaning “to tend to the earth and grow, cultivate and nurture” (Zimmerman, K. French Culture: Customs & Traditions. LiveScience. 21 January, 2015.). Paris, the French capital, isn’t just after the latest trends, though. The city is known as the center of fashion, cuisine, art, and architecture. France is, to date, one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations.

France is located on the western coast of Europe, and is home to just under 67 million people. It is the 21st largest country in the world (World Factbook). The capital of France is Paris, which is home to one of the most beautiful structures in the world, the Eiffel Tower. France has mild winters and mild summers generally, unless you are on the coastal edges, where you can expect a little more humidity. It is almost a 100% French speaking country. Religiously they are about 63-66% Christian, 7-9% Muslim, about 1% Buddhist, about 1% Jewish, and roughly 25% are not religious (Global Religious Features). In France, they use the euro as their currency.

The International Energy Outlook 2013 predicts that the biggest future increase in world energy use will be caused by Non-OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries, while the energy use within the OECD countries will stay generally stable as it has for the past decades which can be observed in figure 1 (EIA 2015). The OECD countries are experiencing a growth rate of about 0.5% which roughly equates their population growth (EIA 2015). The energy use in non-OECD countries is estimated to increases with an annual rate of 2.2% which would mean they make up for 65% of the world’s primary energy demand in 2040 (EIA 2015).

Deeply concerned about the lack of universal access to energy in many developing countries, specifically in rural areas,
