电能的发展历史与未来
1. Introduction
The electric energy is closely connected with people’s daily life. Electrification has become a significant symbol of the modernization of the society. Almost every government provide a large sum of money to develop the electric energy. So we must pay attention to the history and future development of the electric energy.
In the modern society, if people want to do something, people must need the help of the electric energy. We can see that human can not live without the electric energy. To same extent, people’s lives rely on such energy.
In the ancient time, there was no sense understanding of the electric energy. People have to work begin before sunrise and end at sunset. They use the candle to light the room at the night and they have no electric appliance in the daily life.
In the 1820, Faraday created electromagnetic generator. This is the beginning of the electric time. The development of the electric energy has great improved since the 1820. On the one side, human can use the new technology to change other energies to the electric energy. Especially the renewable energy sources. This enhances the development of the exploitation of energy resources. (Meninger, 2017). On the other hand, human could make good use of the electric energy. Only when the electric energy is used by human and does good to our society, can it realize the value.
In this , I will give the brief introduction of some things about the electric energy. Then I will analyze the history and the future development of the electric energy. At the end of my , I will conclude the whole . I will finish this by looking up the relative resources, doing the literature review and adding up my own opinions in to the certain content of this . I believe you can find the useful information from this .
2. What is the electric energy?
Both the development of the society and people’s daily life can not work well without the electric energy. We all use the electric energy in the daily life, but what is the electric energy?
Electric energy is a power which can produce the power by working in various forms. It has been used in many fields, such as impetus, lighting, metallurgy, the chemistry, spinning, communication and so on. It is the major impetus of the development of the science and technology. (Chu, 2017).
The using of the electric energy is the symbol of the second industrial revolution. People has entered the electric time since then. The electric energy which is used in our daily life is the transition of other energies which contain the hydro-energy, the heat energy, wind energy source, luminous energy and so on. In addition, we can also change the electric energy in to other energies. The thermal power generation occupies the significant position in many developing countries. The second is the hydro-energy. The new energy resources can not be good used in the development of the electric energy, so we regard the electric energy as the second energy resources with the limitation of energies.
3. The beginning of the electric energy
It is a fact that the electric energy has existed in the nature in all ages. But only when it is used by the human, it has the special meaning in the history.
The electric energy has various forms. Such as hydro-energy, solar energy and wind energy sources and so on. We can change these energies to the electric energy. However, at the beginning, people can not make good use of other energies with the limitation of the technology and knowledge.
Firstly, the Greeks found the electrification by friction. They called this phenomenon as the electric energy. (Jose, 2017).
One American people, who called Franklin, found the electric energy from lightning by flying the kite. He sure the existence of the electric energy, but he did not make use of this energy.
Faraday generated electromagnetic generator in the 1820. He is the fist person who find the electric energy and make good use of this energy. All of people regard this is the start of the using of the electric energy. From that time, the development of the electric energy has got great achievement.
In the industrial revolution, the Edison crated the electric bulb. At the ancient time, people lighted by using the candle, oil lamp and so on. Edison generated the real electric bulb by doing thousands of experiments. It brought the light to many people. Today, the electric bulb is used in thousands upon thousands of families. It owed to the Edison.
We can see that people had done many research towards the electric energy. Although it was not perfect in the beginning of the development of the electric energy, we should not regardless the contribution of these efforts.
4. The improvement and the development of the electric energy
After the electric energy has been found in our society, the development of the electric energy has great improved. People not only realize the significance of the enlectric energy, but also try to find more ways to make good use of the electric energy. So there are many improvements and achievements in different period.
First, people will not just get the electric energy by the transition of the heat resources. We all know that the heat resources are dirty energy sources, which will pollute the environment. So it is essential to obtain the electric energy from the clean sources, such as wind energy sources, solar energy sources and hydro energy. For example, the hydro energy is a clean energy and it is also a renewable energy sources. So people develop the hydro power station to transform the hydro energy to the electric energy. In this way, people can adjust the structure of the energy and decline the energy consumption and energy dilemma.
Secondly, people advocate to protect the environment in the development process. That is to say, people insist green, environment-friendly and low-carbon development. The investment in the heat energy has decreased year by year.
Third, the guarantee capability of the electric energy is promoted. With the development of the electric energy. The electric energy production has increased a lot.
It can support the demand of the whole people in our society.
Fourth, the structure of the using of the electric development has improved a lot. The recent research shows that the clean energy sources has occupied 8 percent of the electric energy utilization in the 2017. And it occupies 12 percent in the 2017. (Bernhoff, 2017).We can see that the utilization of the clean energy is increasing quickly.
Fifth, the achievement of the energy conservation and emission reduction is admirable. The consumption of the heat energy has declined from 90percent to 65percent. The management of the waste water and industrial garbage has great improved. (Huang, 2017).
Finally, the scientific and technological level of the electric energy has improved greatly. One million kilowatts ultra-super-critical, large air-cooled units and other large capacity and high parameters are widely used in the modern society.
5. What account for the development of the electric energy?
As for the quick development of the electric energy, we may think over that what account for the development of the electric energy? The reasons are as followings.
Firstly, with the development of the science and technology, human has grasped more and more important technology in the filed of the transformation of the different energies. Human has the certain ability to change other forms of energies in to the electric energy. For example, the solar energy is a renewable and clean energy sources. The solar panels is a wonderful technology in the history. By using the solar panels, we can easily change the solar energy in to the electric energy. (Huang, 2017).
For another instance, hydro energy is also such energy just like the solar energy. There are all kinds of rivers, lakes and oceans in the world. The Three Gorges Project is a great project in the China. After the Three Gorges Project is finished, it can not only control the flood but also give the power generation.
The secondly, with the growing population, the demand of the electric energy has rapid increased. What’s ,ore, the development of the industry has also enhanced this demand of the electric energy. So it is urgent to he develop and improve the electric energy. (Huang, 2017).
Thirdly, with the development of the economy, people have more money to do other things. And the finance of the government is enough to support the development of the electric energy. For example, the government provided much money to the Three Gorges Project. The condition is that the comprehensive national power has rapid improved in recent years.
Finally, the development of the electric energy can not work without the scientists’ contribution in the electric field. In these several decades, many scientists has done various researches to explore the new technology in the development and improvment of the electric energy.
6. The influence of the electric energy in our society
As for the development of the electric energy. The world and the people’s daily life has great change. The electric energy influences our society in many aspects.
Firstly, the development of the electric energy has stimulated the development of the industry development. That is to say, the development of the industry need much of the electric energy. Once the electric energy production is increasing, the industry has the power supply. Many new productions will appear in the society. In this way, it will enhance the social economy development and the new productions will meet the demand of the people.
Secondly, the development of the electric energy will grade the the comprehensive strength of the country. Chinese is a populous country, the development of the electric energy has significant meaning. So the governments pay much attention to the development of the electric energy.
For example, the government supplied much money to the solar energy exploration. There are many kinds of production used by the solar energy sources, such as solar powered flashlight, the solar air conditioning and so on. The new technology can easily transform the solar energy sources in to the electric energy.
In addition, it stimulated the development of the electronic industry. The types of the electronic products are more and more, such as the mobile phone, the computer, the digital camera and so on. All of these electronic products can not work well without the help of the electric energy.
We can see that the development of the electric energy gives us many positive influences.
7. The difficulties in the future development of the electric energy
If we want to develop something, we must meet some difficulties. As for the development of the electric energy. We also will meet a lot of difficulties.
Firstly, the knowledge of the development of the electric energy is limited. For example, some one have little knowledge about the electric energy. The experts in this filed is limited. This will control the future development of this kind of energy. (Bernhoff, 2017).
Secondly, with the growing quantity of the population, the burden of the Earth is heavier. So the demand of the electric energy is growing accordingly. The pressure of the electric energy is greater than today.
Thirdly, the consumption of the electric energy is great. There is much waste in the transformation of the energy. So how to decline this consumption of the electric energy is a important challenge in the future development.
At the same time, there are many other problems which we can not predict in the future development of the electric energy.
8. The potential development of the electric energy in the future
We know something about the history of the electric energy and the limitation of the future development of the electric energy. Now let we explore the future development of the electric energy.
Firstly, human should pay attention to the exploration of the clean and renewable energy sources. Especially the wind energy sources. We should not only think how to transform the wind energy sources to the the electric energy, but also think how to effectively get the beneficial from the transition process.
The heat energy is limited, it can not get the regeneration from the nature easily. So human should use the renewable energy to develop the electric energy. And we should use the clean energy sources to develop the electric energy, in this way, we can protect the environment in the whole process of the development.
Secondly, the government should pay more attention to the development of the electric energy.
On the one side, the government should generate the relative policy to support the exploration of the development of the electric energy. For example, the government can get the experience from the Three Gorges Project and create the new great gorges projects. (Huang, 2017).
On the other hand, the government should give the financial support to the development of the electric energy.
Third, the country should cultivate a lot of experts who have great knowledge about the using of the electric energy. They must not only have the theatrical thinking but also give the practical contribution to the society.
Fourth, we should take example by the development of the electric energy in other countries. For example, In the United States, the wind electricity is admirable. The America has the great geological location to develop the wind electricity. The more important thing is the policy of the government. In the 1978, the government revised the law of the public welfare establishment. In this law, the government made clear acclaim to support the wind electricity. This law had soon solved the energy shortage of the electric energy. The government also provided the financial support to the California which is rich for wind. Gradually, there was a fashion to transform the wind energy sources to the electric energy. So our government should get the good experience from the development of the wind electricity in the United States.
The future development of the electric energy will meet many challenge and problems.we should update the knowledge and take step to develop the transition of the electric energy. (Bernhoff, 2017).
9. What we can do to stimulate the development of the electric energy?
As for the ordinary people, what we can do do to stimulate the development of the electric energy? This is a problem beyond a question.
At first, we should learn the relative knowledge about the development of the electric energy. For example, we can learn about the theory in the Three Gorges Project. In this way, we can get the basic information in this filed.
Secondly, we should have the sense of electrical energy saving. Although we can use the renewable energy sources to develop the electric energy, the electric energy is still limited. So we should not waste the electric energy. What’s more, we should support the policy of the government to develop the electric energy.
10.Conclusion
In conclusion, the history of the electric energy is long, the using of the the electric energy is a vital thing in the whole development. We can see that once the energy is used by the human, it can have the real meaning in the world. If we do not make good use of the electric energy, it will cause great waste of the resources.
The development of the society, the industry, and even the people’s daily life is closely connected with the electric energy. In the modern society, we can not live without the electric energy. So the development of such energy has considerable meanings.
The development of such energy sources can not stop in the future. We will meet some difficulties in the future development, but we should come over the problems and take the measure to develop the electric energy. I believe the future development of the electric energy will be better.
