Document Summary

At least 50% electricity power generated by renewable so. Diesel generator:: must exist cuz it can be the back-up generator, in order to get a stable pow. **pollutants originate from various non-ideal processes during combustion: - incomplete combustion of fuel, reactions btw mixture components under high temp and p. - common pollutants: unburned hydrocarbons (hc), carbon monoxide (co), nitrogen oxides particulate matter (pm) Reference: "estimation of carbon footprints from diesel generator emissions" https://ieeexplore. ieee. org/stamp/stamp. jsp?tp=&arnumber=6344193. What are diesel emissions? https://www. dieselnet. com/tech/emi_intro. php priority) pital (1st priority) d turbine use farm space!! May need to avoid) le sources power supply and p, etc ides (nox), 23% of the energy from the sun has a wavelength too long to be useful for silicon. Only 44% of the sun"s energy available to silicon solar cells, energy lost due to refl processes in the cell. The real efficiency of silicon cells is around 15%.
