When considering 'efficiency' on a national scale the sheer size of operation of any country's supply authority means that any loss of efficiency in this area will carry severe financial penalities. In the UK the Central Electricity Generating Board has evolved a number of technigues to monitor and control the efficiency of individual power stations and so maintain the efficiency of the supply network

Britain has not been hit as hard as many countries by the oil crises since 1973 but it is still vital that British managers carefully consider all the available energy sources. Although electricity has a reputation for being expensive, its high utilisation efficiency means that for certain applications it is the most economical solution.

Turbine-generator efficiencies are high, but there are substantial fundamental losses associated with the steam cycle. Improvements in efficiency are known to be possible, but these must be weighed against any increased cost and any loss of reliability.

Electrical and magnetic machines are all designed and built from experience. The so-called 'laws' that govern their behaviour are, of course, the laws of electromagnetic induction, but when it comes to making 'better' machines and, in particular, more 'efficient' machines, it is human ingenuity rather than a long computer program based on Maxwell's equations that tends to make the real progress.

The greatest barrier to the proliferation of solar cells has been in the level of efficiency attainable. The development of the tandem-type cell, with an efficiency of 8.6% for a 100 cm2 device, has been a major step forward over previous single-junction types. This article highlights the efficiency of this, advance and the low degradation and high yields attainable.

Antenna systems are a key element in all satellite communication systems, and improvements in performance over the past 20 years have contributed to the increased efficiency of modern systems. Satellite antenna capability is still continuing to evolve, making this an exciting and promising field for the 1990s and beyond.

Although accepted as the semiconductor technology best suited to low-power-consumption applications, the efficiency of the CMOS process may be guestioned on the grounds of its fabrication complexity, low speed and low function density. The cross-breeding of CMOS with HMOS promises to overcome these problems.

The application of power electronics to the control of squirrel-cage induction motors has led to an improvement of efficiency of many industrial processes, if not the motors themselves. Here we examine the range of electronics available for this control equipment.

To some the reasons why the heat pump has not been more widely accepted is because it is believed that its technology is unproven, and has limited application in that it is too costly and does not give worthwhile cost savings. In reality, such statements are far from the truth.
