The Department of Energy (Filipino: Kagawaran ng Enerhiya, abbreviated as DOE) is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for preparing, integrating, manipulating, organizing, coordinating, supervising, and controlling all plans, programs, projects and activities of the Government relative to energy exploration, development, utilization, distribution and conservation.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (Filipino: Kagawaran ng mga Pagawain at Lansangang Bayan), abbreviated as DPWH, is the executive department of the Philippine government solely vested with the mandate to “be the State's engineering and construction arm” and, as such, “tasked to carry out the policy” of the State to “maintain an engineering and construction arm and ...
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) is the transmission system operator for three grids constituting the Philippine grid and as a franchise holder and transmission service provider, it is in charge of operating, maintaining, and developing the country's power grid, [27] controls the supply and demand of power by determining ...
An electric induction motor is required to have a specified minimum full-load efficiency. A compact fluorescent lamp is required to start and run up to near full brightness in a given time, to have a minimum life of several thousand hours, to maintain its output within specified limits, to withstand a certain number of switchings, to have a ...
If energy output and input are expressed in the same units, efficiency is a dimensionless number. [1] Where it is not customary or convenient to represent input and output energy in the same units, efficiency-like quantities have units associated with them. For example, the heat rate of a fossil fuel power plant may be expressed in BTU per ...
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) is a privately owned corporation that was established on January 15, 2009, through RA 9511.It is a consortium of three corporations, namely Monte Oro Grid Resources Corporation, Calaca High Power Corporation, and the State Grid Corporation of China.
A load-following power plant, regarded as producing mid-merit or mid-priced electricity, is a power plant that adjusts its power output as demand for electricity fluctuates throughout the day. [1] Load-following plants are typically in between base load and peaking power plants in efficiency, speed of start-up and shut-down, construction cost ...
If a plant is only needed during the day, for example, even if it operates at full power output from 8 am to 8 pm every day (12 hours) all year long, it would only have a 50% capacity factor. Due to low capacity factors, electricity from peaking power plants is relatively expensive because the limited generation has to cover the plant fixed costs.
