Gas / Electricity Background

The fundamental principles of electricity generation were learned throughout the 1820s and early 1830s by the British researchers Michael Faraday. This method remains used today: electricity is produced by the movement of a hook of wire, or dvd of copper between the poles of a magnetic. Central power stations became economically practical with the introduction of alternating current power transmission, using electric power transformers to transmit electric power at high voltage and with low loss. Electrical energy has been produced at central stations since 1882. The first power crops were run on normal water power or coal,[1] and today count mainly on coal, elemental, natural gas, hydroelectric, blowing wind generators, and petroleum, with supplementary amounts from solar powered energy, tidal power, and geothermal sources. The use of power-lines and power-poles have been significantly important in the distribution of electricity.
