Cheap And Clean Power

It has long been understood that green energy production does not have the same environmental toll that fossil fuels do.  Green energy technology relies upon the wind or sun to turn the turbines that produce electricity, as opposed to burning something to achieve the same goal.  One results in pollution and the other does not, but the inefficiencies of the green energy production systems make them less viable as a source of power to the masses than fossil fuels do, at least at the current time.  If the green energy systems can be improved to be more efficient so as to produce enough power to suffice in major cities, and do it at a price that is cheaper than fossil fuels, then there is no reason to keep the antiquated systems in place.  That day is quickly approaching through the use of more advanced surge protection devices.

Many people are unaware where the costs of green energy production come from.  Because you are not paying for the fuel sources themselves, why does it cost more to produce power using wind and solar? The answers come in the form of damages to the equipment involved in the process, and the outages that happen as a result of that damage.  If a component is damaged and the system goes offline during a period when the sun is shining or wind is blowing, the system is not producing excess electricity that costs no more than if the system was dormant.  Efficiency is key when producing power, and costs are reduced by excesses of power being produced.  The systems that are the most efficient can also power larger communities without backup systems being necessary, so keeping the systems functioning longer is a key to cost reduction.  The other key is the minimization of damage to components in the field.  This generally is found in the damages that occur by surges after a lightning strike.  The damage at the strike point is minimal compared to the damage that happens downstream as a result of the power surge.  Sensitive equipment is overwhelmed and damaged if it is connected by power or data transfer lines, so the method of reducing these damage costs involves the integration of better surge protection devices.  Raycap makes not only the top level technological devices on the market, but also a unique product that does not need resetting after a surge.  This reduces the amount of time that is necessary to get a system back online after a surge, and improves the efficiency that is key to the process.

Through the integration of better surge protection devices and systems, we can reduce the production costs of green energy to a lower point than fossil fuels, which will create a cheaper and cleaner product.  This will have positive consequences for the entire planet, as well as your pocket book.

Environmental Benefits Of Cheaper Power

When people turn on their lights in their home, they don't think too much about it.  They flip the switch and electricity flows to the lights, but that electricity must be manufactured using one of a number of processes.  The product is exactly the same, but how that product is created has large differences.  One way is through the burning of fossil fuels in order to turn turbines that generate the electricity.  These fossil fuels create pollution as a by product that ultimately hurts the environment, and there is nearly nobody on the planet that is going to argue that they want more pollution.  The reason that this is the primary method of production is that it is ultimately cheaper to consumers than the green methods that do not do environmental damage.  The question that many people cannot understand is why a source of production that uses a free power source would cost more.  The answer is found in lightning strikes.

Green energy production costs more than fossil fuel production because the components of the process are easily damaged in the field, and need replacement.  These damages also cause systems to go offline during the times when the wind or sun is available, ultimately reducing the amount of power that is produced for free.  By keeping damages to a minimum and systems online longer, we can reduce the costs that consumers must pay for their electricity to below the costs of fossil fuels, and this involves surge protection.  The main factor that causes damage to industrial components is lightning strikes, but the damage that occurs at the strike point itself is not the issue.  The power surge that follows the strike is coupled into data transfer lines and power cables, and ultimately travels easily from component to component in the chain.  A single lightning strike can produce surge related damages to equipment that is not even close to the strike point, and ultimately build the cost of the strike to a huge amount.  Through the use of integrated surge protection devices in a redundant manner, appropriately installed at critical junction points and along wires, the surges can be brought to a minimum and controlled more effectively.  This allows for damage to be reduced and costs that need to be paid by the consumer to be lower.  The newest generation of surge protection devices from Raycap also feature an "always on" capability, which ultimately means they do not need to be restored to functionality after they perform their duty.  This keeps systems online for longer periods of time, and generates more surplus electricity while the sun and wind are available.  It is this type of improvement to the systems that will ultimately achieve the goals of reducing costs below that of fossil fuel production, which will result in a cleaner and cheaper product.
