Great video! Nice to see how reliable electricity is generated so our refrigerators, etc can run 24/7 regardless of the weather.

@J D Hydro, geothermal, and bio mass combustion are the only renewable sources of electricity which are reliable. Both hydro and geothermal are limited in their versatility.

@J D Solar and wind are not reliable.
@commonsense19074 жыл бұрын
@J D Almost always available, is not reliable regardless of how you consider it. Even if the Sun was out 24/7 in the southwest or the wind always blowing in windy areas. Could not be sources of electricity for the entire United States due to power line losses. Both solar and wind can be helpers, but not base load.

This puts out no particulates or sulfur oxides and minimal nitrous oxides. It also puts out about 60% less carbon dioxide than coal.

Does Duke energy paint their high voltage tower's and substation steel structure in house or subcontract them out? I'm retired in industrial painter, and have worked for Cook and Glass, Utility Service, Whitehouse painting, Howell and Howell. I've worked with various energy companies, including Duke energy ( Public Service ), LG&E, Cincinnati power and light, Ohio Edison, Houston Light and Power, etc. Very well done video tour. I enjoyed it. Thanks, John

Hey, I'm in highschool and I'm really really interested in working in this field. Can you explain the steps i should take to be able to work in this type of career?
@jond39297 жыл бұрын
The steps you need to take to get into this field depend on where you live. If you want to become an operator, you will likely need to go to a technical school to get a technical diploma as well as a certificate with the regional "boiler branch" which is a government body that is responsible for regulating boiler and boiler operator certification. The certificate is usually referred to as a "steam ticket" or "steam engineer ticket" and acquiring it requires you to pass several exams on boilers and power plant operations. There will likely be a work experience requirement that is similar to an internship where you will have to work in a power plant for several months under supervision of the operators. For more information, look up your local boilers branch in your state or province. Be prepared to work 12 hour rotating shifts that includes walking long distances, climbing stairs and ladders, and considerable physical exertion as well as working outdoors. The money is generally pretty good. Im an operator at a combined cycle cogeneration plant and make over $100,000. Other job options include instrumentation and millwright.

Gage Betz, don’t listen to Karishna or whatever his name is. That’s more of an isolated experience. In order to get into the field, you’ll need a two-year associates degree in something like Power Plant Technology or Industrial Electronics. There are plenty of programs out there now. Even 10 years ago it wasn’t as prevalent. Some places even have partnerships with utility companies and you can get a co-op internship while still in the program. Do that if you can it will allow you to ask the proper questions and rub elbows with the guys already there. Especially because it will give you a feel for the industry itself and whether or not you still have interest. After that, it’s simply down to applying for open positions. Don’t be afraid to apply for positions lower than your goal. Getting your foot in the door is the most important thing. From there, you’ll be able to transfer when a job bid comes up in the classification you want. Here’s a rundown of some common classifications and what you’ll be dealing with: Ops- Operations is literally Operating the plant. You’ll spend a good bit of time getting familiar and working with all the systems in the plant to some degree. As far as repairs, it’s uncommon for an EO (equipment operator) to do major troubleshooting. You’ll usually be calling ICE or Maintenance for that. ICE- Electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, critical instrumentation and controls of the plant. You’ll be wearing a lot of hats. Have to be able to jump from job to job with varying degrees of importance. At 7:30 you’re troubleshooting a valve that won’t open , an hour later you’re crawling through PLC logic to determine why the sequence for water treatment is having issues, then you get a call about a motor that keeps tripping while doing that. You’ll have downtime though, as well. Learn to do crossword puzzles, play Euchre, and watch KZbin videos. Maint./Welder- you’re in charge of wearing denim shirts, growing a beard, and riding a Harley. No, but really, you’re in charge of breaking things loose, putting them back together, and having some good knowledge of clearances and tolerances. Aside from the knuckle busting, you’ll be disassembling and reassembling motor couplings, changing massive fans and belt drives, knowing torque values, using micrometers, welding various things, cleaning and repairing large parts, valves, drives, etc. Probably the most fun job in the plant tbh. You will always have the best stereo, be the first in the showers, and first out of the parking lot. ALWAYS. The motto of a good mechanic, “Never be late for two things: lunch time and quittin’ time.”
