Topic: Electricity generation by energy sources around the world
Project # 01
The electricity around the world is an indispensable resource that is generated for different types of
energy sources like water, sun light, air, oil and steam. In this article we are going to know about the
electricity generation around the world using different types of energy sources.
1. Ecuador
Our country has many types of energy sources the principals are the hydroelectric and thermic
generation. But we have another like wind, solar and biomass generation.
The principal hydroelectric are:
Hydroelectric Paute: The hydroelectric Paute consist in four generation plants: Mazar,
Sopladora, Molino and Cardenillo. These plants use the water of river Paute. Nowadays
Ecuador uses only the energy of Mazar and Molino because Sopladora is building and
Cardenillo is under study. The maximum power of generation in Mazar is 170 MW and in
Molino is 1 100 MW.
It is expected that upon completion of the construction of 487 MW Sopladora this generates
and Cardenillo into operation with a production of 596 MW. Thus having an integral
generation complex with an installed capacity of 2 353 MW.
Hydroelectric Agoyn: The hydroelectric Agoyn consist in three generation plants: Agoyn,
San Francisco and Pucar. The principal Agoyan has the fluency of the river Pastaza and it
has an installed power of 156 MW. The other San Francisco also has the fluency of the river
Pastaza and has two generation machines to produce 230 Mw of installed power.
The central of generation Pucara is a project designed to take advantage of a lake area, located
in the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes, about 35 Km. from Pllaro Tungurahua Province. The
reservoir is located inside the National Park Llanganates, allowing an average annual
production of 230 GWH.

 Hydroelectric Coca Codo Sinclair: This is a new project in Ecuador and consists in two
generation plants: Coca Codo Sinclair with an installed power of 1500MW and Quijos with
an installed power of 50MW. Nowadays only is used a part of Coca Codo Sinclair because it
being in construction.
The principal Thermoelectric are:
Electro Guayas: This thermoelectric has fourth generation centrals: Gonzalo Cevallos (73
MW), Trinitaria (1125 MW), Dr. Enrique Garcia (102 MW), Santa Elena (130 MW).
Termo Esmeraldas: Is a thermal power plant steam with a design power of 132 MW, is
located in the province of Esmeraldas, thermoelectric power generated by the combustion of
No. 6 fuel oil supplied by the Esmeraldas refinery, currently getting a maximum output of
130MW.
Termo Gas Machala: It is a power generation through gas, which generates 130MW of power,
located in the city of Machala has two generators of 65 MW each.
Termo Pichincha: It is a power generation to has many differents centrals of generation like:
Guangopolo I (31.2 MW), Guangopolo II (48.7 MW), Sacha (40.8 MW), Santa Rosa(51
MW), entre otras.
Wind Generation:
Wind Villonaco: This wind farm located in the province of Loja has a capacity of 16.5 MW,
with about 11 wind turbines that allow the generation of energy.
Wind Chachimbiro: This wind farm located in the province of Imbabura has a capacity of 113
MW.
Wind Tufio: This wind farm located in the province of Carchi has a capacity of 138 MW.
Wind Chacana: This wind farm located in the province of Napo has a capacity of 318 MW.
Nowadays Ecuador has many projects about generation of energy, in the next figure we can see the
structure of electricity supply.

You can see the influence to have the different types of energy to have Ecuador for meet demand.
In the next imagen you can see the principal structure about national grid.

2. Japan
Japan is a highly industrialized country, this country generates energy nuclear, coal, hydraulic and
other alternatives such as biomass and solar. The generation in this country is divided in two regions
the Easter runs at 50 Hz and the Western runs at 60 Hz. You are going to see about main resources
of generation in this country.

Nuclear Generation:
This is one of the most important generations in this country, that technology was a late
started and Japan used American technology and buy raw material (uranium). The country
had 42 nuclear reactors with a total generation of approximately 33 GW. This type of energy
has many problems when natural disasters like earthquakes. In the imagen continue you can
see the nuclear central of generation.

Natural Gas:
Because domestic natural gas production is minimal, rising demand is met by greater
imports.
Japan's
main
LNG
suppliers
in
1987
were Indonesia (51.3%), Malaysia (20.4%),Brunei (17.8%), United Arab Emirates (7.3%),
and the United States (3.2%).
Hydro Power:
Hydroelectricity is Japan's main renewable energy source, with an installed capacity of about
27 GW, or 16% of the total generation capacity, of which about half is pumped-storage. The
production was 73 TWh in 2010. As of September 2011, Japan had 1,198 small hydropower
plants with a total capacity of 3,225 MW. The smaller plants accounted for 6.6 percent of
Japan's total hydropower capacity. The remaining capacity was filled by large and medium
hydropower stations, typically sited at large dams.
Wind energy:
Japan had 1,807 wind turbines with a total capacity of 2440 MW as of September 2011. A
lack of locations with constant wind, environmental restrictions, and emphasis by power

utilities on fossil and nuclear power hinders the employment of more wind power in the
country. However, it has been estimated that Japan has the potential for 144 GW for onshore
wind and 608 GW of offshore wind capacity.
Waste and biomass energy:
As of September 2011, Japan had 190 generators attached to municipal waste units and 70
independent plants using biomass fuel to produce energy. In addition, 14 other generators
were used to burn both coal and biomass fuel. In 2008, Japan produced 322 million tons of
biomass fuel and converted 76% of it into energy.
Ocean energy:
In 2012, the government announced plans to build experimental tidal power and wave
power plants in coastal areas. Construction on the projects, the locations for which have not
been determined, would begin in 2013.
Japan uses other sources of energy about 20% like solar, wind and biomasa. In the next imagen you
can see a resume about the japan grid:

3. Russia
Energy plays a central role in the Russian economy because it drives all the other elements of the
system--the industrial, agricultural, commercial, and government sectors. In addition, energy,
particularly petroleum and natural gas, is the most important export and source of foreign exchange
for the Russian economy. Experts forecast that the energy sector will continue to occupy this central
position until Russian manufacturing reaches a level competitive with the West.
Russia has many types of generation like:
Hydropower
The hydro power generation in Russia is one of the most important in the world. Russia has a
production of 175 TWh and represents 5.8 % of world hydroelectric generation.
Nuclear energy
The nuclear energy supply in Russia amounted to 149 TWh, which is 15.7% of total Russian
electricity and 5.4% of global nuclear production of electricity. The total capacity of nuclear
reactors is 21 244 MW. There are plans to increase the number of commercial reactors from 31
to 59.
Geothermal energy
It is the most developed renewable energy source in Russia. Geothermal resources have been
identified in the Northern Caucasus, Western Siberia, Lake Baikal, and in Kamchatka and the
Kuril Islands. The installed capacity for direct use amounted for more for more than 307 MWh.
Peat

Principal peat deposits are located in the North-Western parts of Russia, in West Siberia and in
several other eastern regions. Although peat was used as industrial fuel for power generation in
Russia for a long period, its share has been in long-term decline, and since 1980 has amounted
to less than 1%
Solar Energy
The regions with the best solar radiation are the North Caucasus, the black sea and the Caspian
Sea. This type of energy in Russia generates around 1.5 MW.
Wind energy
Russia has wind resources on the Pacific and Artic coasts. There are about 100 MW of wind
projects in Kalmykia and in Krasnodar Krai.
In the next picture you can see about the principal sources of energy for generation in Russia.

In this picture you can see about the centrals of generation to has Russia.

4. Panam
The total energy consumption of the Republic of Panama in a year is about 7,0x1016 J, representing
0.02% of total energy consumption in the world. Panama currently has an installed capacity of
electric power next 1 300 MW, but every year the economic development of Panama requires about
40 MW of new generation. Among the sources of this energy generation we are:
Hydrocarbons:
One of the main features of the energy matrix of Panama is its high dependence on
hydrocarbons. The specific weight of these in the energy consumption increases significantly
when taking into account that fuel used in thermal generation are primarily bunker, diesel
and marine diesel.

Hydropower:
Hydroelectric Fortuna, opened in 1984, it has an installed capacity of 300 MW. She alone
generates about 23% of all electrical energy used by the country. In Panama there are eight
hydroelectric installed with greater than 840 MW, supplying 51% of the country's total
generation of electricity.
Solar Energy:

 Due to the proximity of Panama with respect to Ecuador, Panama has good solar energy
resource availability. The energy per unit area that receives Panama for one day is about 4.5
kW.h / m2.
Wind Energy:
Panama has great potential for wind generation in places like Cerro Tute, Boquete, Hornitos,
Honey, Coiba, off the coast of Los Santos, Bocas del Toro, San Blas, Colon and northern
Cocle, where the speed annual average is around 35 km / h.

5. Cuba
Cuba is a country rich in renewable energy resources in poor and non-renewable; the sun, wind,
biomass and sugarcane and forestry hydropower are the sources to which you can bet them with
greater certainty for diversification of the energy matrix. Achieve 100% energy self-sufficiency with
renewable energy sources is a challenge for this generation. Among the most important sources of
generation we are:
Wind Energy:
The Cuban wind potential was that at an average altitude wind to 50 meters, the total wind
potential is between 4000 and 12,000 MW, including coastal areas, inland areas,
mountainous regions and small islands or cays around the largest island.
Photovoltaic Solar Energy:
In Cuba, solar radiation reaches about 5 kWh / m2 per day (1,825 kWh / m2 per year),
distributed throughout the national territory, with the ability to harness the solar potential is
available throughout the territory and may provide for the lifecycle for each MW a total of
38,750 MWh.
Solar Thermal Energy:

 Solar thermal installations transform the sun's energy into heat by vacuum tube collectors. As
mentioned above, on every square meter of soil affect Cuban 5 kWh per day.
Sugarcane and forestry biomass:
The sugarcane biomass is used as an energy source for hundreds of years, to produce heat,
and then electricity. When both processes are combined it is known as cogeneration. In
developed countries, the efficiency of cogeneration technology is more than 100 kWh per ton
of processed sugarcane. With 1 350 million may be obtained potentially 135,029 GWh per
year.

Biofuels:
Ethanol in Cuba has traditionally produced cane sugar. It is a fuel for blends with gasoline
(anhydrous ethanol), or for direct use in special engines (hydrated ethanol). It acts as an
oxygen and antiknock.

Hydropower:
1 hydroelectric 7 small hydroelectric plants, 35 mini-hydro and micro-hydro 137: Currently
180 hydroelectric facilities operate. The total installed capacity of 62.22 MW is, with a
production of electricity 149.5 million kWh / year.

6. Puerto Rico
Renewables:

 The force of water that falls to be released by a dam to operate the electric generator is used.
Today, it is used in Puerto Rico in less than 1 %.
The solar- energy systems photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity. Given
its geographical position, Puerto Rico is an ideal way to generate energy this place.
Puerto Rico wind- energy has great potential to harness this energy because it is in the path
of the trade winds, considered the most consistent in the world.
The biomass is organic matter such as plants, wood and animal waste, which can be used as
an energy source. In Puerto Rico there are some private industries that use this type of
energy.
7. Venezuela
Electrical energy is obtained through power plants, which use water power , wind, fossil fuels (gas ,
coal and oil ) and nuclear . The main source of electricity generation in Venezuela is the
hydroelectric power where water is used as the primary means to generate electricity.
Types of power plants:
Hydroelectric power: uses the energy obtained in the waterfalls (hydropower).
Power Plant: it uses the energy from fossil fuels (coal, fuel oil, etc).
Nuclear Power Plant: Uses the energy obtained by nuclear reactors.
Renewable Resources Plants: Use energy from renewable resources: solar, wind, tidal and
geothermal.

8. Chile
The Central Interconnected System (SIC) has an installed capacity of 15,180 MW generation, of
which 52.5% are thermal power plants, 41.9% hydro plants, 4.3% and 1 wind farms , 3% to solar
power plants. On the other hand, since the same date, the Northern Interconnected System (SING)
has an installed capacity of 4,785 MW generation, of which 95.6% is thermoelectric plants, 0.2% to
hydroelectric plants, 1.9% to wind farms, and 1.9% to solar power plants. Together both electrical
systems have a total capacity of 19,966 MW generation, which corresponds to more than 99% of
installed capacity throughout the country. For electricity generation used the following sources:
Hydro energy:
In Chile, hydropower is the main source of electricity production. In fact, there are 35
hydroelectric plants that supply the Central Interconnected System (SIC) covering between
the Region of Coquimbo and Los Lagos (Taltal to Chiloe Island) with electricity
Oil (and their products):
Natural gas and coal: is used as fuel in power plants.
Wind energy:
Since November 2001 are connected to the electrical system of Aysen three wind turbines that
supply electricity to 19,000 families in the region. Also, there is since 2000 a pilot wind
power project on the island Tac in Chilo. This project corresponds to a-wind-diesel hybrid
system consisting of two turbines of 7.5 KW each and benefits 79 families and 3 community
centers on the island.

Biomass:
It generates electricity, but less so in rural isolated locations in southern Chile, as Metahue
and the island Butachauques are.
He began designing various projects on the construction of a geothermal power plant that produces
electricity.

9. Argentina
Wind energy:
There are two main types of machines that use the energy contained in the wind mills, which
are used primarily for mechanical pumping of water (something very common in the field),
and wind turbines, equipment specially designed to produce electricity. The provinces of
Santa Cruz, Chubut, Rio and Buenos Aires concentrate Black Argentina's largest wind
potential.

Biofuels:
The Province of Santa Fe, has the largest concentration of biodiesel plants in the country
announced to date. Fossil fuels (in particular oil and gas) are the main source of energy used
by Argentina for the generation of electricity and fuel. The country has several basins with
reservations.
Nuclear energy:
They are available in Argentina Atucha I Nuclear Power Plants 3, Atucha II and Embalse
nuclear power plant. nuclear facilities for the production of electricity.
Small hydroelectric plants: Hydroelectric power is the conversion of kinetic energy and
gravitational potential energy of water into mechanical energy which is finally transformed into
electricity. According to the "National Development Scheme for the Use of Renewable Energy
Sources for Electricity Production" category of "Small Achievement" corresponds in Argentina to
hydroelectric plants of up to 30 megawatts of installed capacity. In Argentina, the use of this type of
energy is still small compared to the magnitude of the resource.
Geothermal energy in Argentina are counted at least 4 points of geothermal interest to generate
electricity, 2 of them in the province of Neuqun (Copahue and Domuyo), another in Tuzgle (Jujuy)
and fourth in Valle del Cura (San Juan).

10. Bolivia
According to information provided by the National Committee Despecho (CNDC), in 2013 a total
production of electricity in Bolivia of 7347.7 GWh, of which 2,514.9 GWh correspond to
hydroelectric power (34 he had, 2%) and 4832.8 GWh thermal energy (65.8%). In total they injected
the Main Interconnected System (ITS) 7149.3 GWh, being 2442.2 originated from hydropower
(34.2%) and in thermal 4707.1 (65.8%).
Thermal Energy:
Thermal Power Plant Warnes project's main objective is joining the National Integrated
System (SIN) approx. 200 MW of effective power to provide greater reliability and
availability of supply of electrical energy to the Bolivian population. The plant will have five
turbogenerators generation of 40 MW each.

Hydropower:
Over the years, Bolivia passed a matrix of electricity generation in 2001 to 60% in
hydroenergetic originated sources, to rely on thermal power plants based on fossil fuels by
66% in 2013.

This trend is beginning to be reversed with the aim of diversifying the energy matrix, make it
cleaner and contribute to greater energy security. It is estimated that by 2025 the country will
reverse the current situation, getting to have a matrix of supported electricity generation by 70% in
hydroelectric plants.
Bolivia has no geothermal advances in nuclear energy, because this Dr. Nakagawa said his main
goal as a researcher specializing in geothermal energy is to find that the use of natural resources
have a balance and ensure sustainability. He said the world is on using oil to generate energy and
that this process is damaging the environment.

11.Colombia
At December 31, 2015, the annual power generation in Colombia was 66,548.5 GWh, 3.5% above
that recorded in 2014 for this same period (64,327.9 GWh). This growth is mainly associated with
the increase in demand SIN. This increase is mainly due to the entry into operation of hydroelectric
power plants.

14. Denmark

Denmark has considerable sources of energy like:

Coal:
Coal power provided 48 % of the electricity and 22% of the heat in district in Denmark in
2008, and in total provided 21.6% of total energy consumption. The coal is imported outside
Europe.
Biomass:
Denmark consumed 2.1 million tons of wood pellets in 2014, excepted ton increase by 1.2
million tons as more coal is replaced. They are mainly imported from the Baltic States and
Russia.
Nuclear Energy:
The production of nuclear energy has been banned in Denmark since 1985. In 2014 and 2015,
nuclear power was 3-4% of electricity consumption in Denmark. An average of 10 % of
domestic energy consumption comes from nuclear imports from neighboring contries Sweden
and Germany.
Solar:
Denmar had 790 MW of photovoltaic capacity in late 2015, and already reached its year 2020
governmental goal of installing 200 MW in 2012. As of total PV capacity from 90 000 private
installations amounts to 500 MW.
Geothermal:
Denmark has two geothermal district heating plants, one in Thisted started in 1988, and one
in Copenhagen started in 2005. They no produce no electricity.
Wind Power:
Wind provided 39% of electricity generated in Denmark in 2014 and 42.1% of Denmark

15.Australia
In fact around 86% of electricity in Australia is generated from these fuels types, with 73% from
coal and 13% from natural Gas. Around the world it is much the same, with fossil fuels being used
of electricity heating and powering vehicles.
The renewable energy cources make up the remaining 14 % of Australians electricity mix.
Hidropower:
This began contributing to Australians generation in the 1950s, is the largest source of
renewable electricity, contributing 60 % of all renewable and 7% of total electricity.
Wind, bioenergy and rooftop solar:
It make up the other 60 %
Wind and solar power are known as intermittent energy sources, because they rely on natural
sources and cant be relied on for consistent baseload power.

16.Arab Emirates
The Unit Arab Emirates has the worlds sixth largest oil reserves and the fifth largest natural gas
reserves, making the country a critical partner and responsible supplier in global energy markets. It
has many ways of energy like:
Oil and Natural Gas:
Each emirate controls its own oil production and resource development. Abu Dhabi holds 94
percent of the UAEs oil resources, or about 92.2 billion barrels. Dubai contains an estimated
4 billion barrels, followed by Sharjah and Ras al-Khaimah with 1.5 billion and 100 million
barrels of oil, respectively.
Nuclear Energy:
As a result of this study, the UAE is pursuing a peaceful, civilian nuclear energy program that
upholds the highest standards of safety, security, nonproliferation and operational
transparency.

Government officials, nonproliferation advocates, and energy experts

worldwide have called the UAE approach a gold standard for countries interested in exploring
nuclear energy for the first time.
Alternative Energy

 Despite the critical role of oil and gas for the UAE, the country has made groundbreaking
commitments in alternative energy. The UAE is taking steps to reduce carbon emissions
through major initiatives in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Dubai is developing a master environmental plan that will ensure that growth and progress are
achieved while protecting the environment. Demand-side-management of electricity will play a role,
as will increased public transportation.

17.Paraguay
Paraguay is one of the few countries in Latin America that has maintained and integrated public
monopoly on electricity. Because nearly the 100 percent of electricity in Paraguay is delivered by
hydropower. The 90% of generated energy is exported with neighboring Argentina and Brazil
receiving the majority
Hydropower:
Paraguay have three principal hydroelectric Itaipu dam, Yacyret Dam, Corpus Christi, those
are the principal source of power in this country.

Thermal Power:
Paraguay has six thermal power plants to contribute for the demand of energy in this country.

18.Guatemala
Guatemala is the second largest Central American power market, with a total generating capacity of
3.2GW. In 2014, it generated 9.8TWh of electricity, with 48% coming from fossil-based generation.
Large hydro is the next most important source, representing 36% of total power produced. Other
renewables (small hydro, biomass and geothermal) amount to 16% of generation.

19.Costa Rica
Renewable energy in Costa Rica accounts for an average of 90% of the energy output for the entire
nation. As of 2014, 99% of its electrical energy was derived from renewable energy sources, about

80% of which from hydroelectric power. As a country, Costa Rica has a geographic advantage over
others in that its high concentration per capita of rivers, dams, and volcanoes allow for a high
renewable energy output. In addition, Costa Rica is the fourth highest nation in terms of rainfall per
capita: it receives an average of 2,926mm of precipitation per year. As a smaller nation with a
population of only 5 million and no major industry, the need for strong energy infrastructure is less
than for larger countries of higher population density.
Hydropower:
Costa Rica Receives about 80% of this energy from hydroelectric plants alone due to amounts
of rainfall and multiple rivers. As the largest source of energy hydropower alones can
generate nearly enough energy to power the whole country.

Geothermal Power:
Costa Rica has six currently active volcanoes and dozens of inactive volcanoes dozens of
inactive volcanoes. That let It have a good production of geothermlenergy.
Wind Power:
Wind power in Costa Rica is used during Mounths of December to March because decreased
rainfall in the nation and hydropower output decreases.
Costa Rica has other projects about solar and biomass energy to represent about 25 % of the energy
produce it.

20.Canada
It country generate a significant majority of its electricity from hydroelectric dams, wind power and
solar also. The most importanto production is Hydro them the coal and nuclear energy is used. It
have little production about Gas and Oil generation.
