(#) Name 2 differences in power consumption between the coastal region and the highlands.Coastal region the highlandsAir conditioning water heatingIn the highlands need less energy for cooking than in the coastal regionWhy is electric voltage raised to 230 kV at power plants?The copper losses are defined by so the electric voltage is raised to decrease the current reducing the losses in the transmission. Why is the transmission voltage lowered in several steps instead of just one?Because if the transmission voltage is lowered in just one, the transformers that we are going to use, have to be bigger and involve more money than do it in several steps. (#) Where in Ecuador are wind turbines being used today? (Significant use, not experimental)LojaAzuayPichinchaApproximately how many MW of power are the government and private industry planning to generate with solar power?878.45 MW
