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.
