Power Generation and RFID


The electricity is generated form rotating turbines attached to electrical generators. The RFID helps to improve the managing and tracking the assets used int he power plants.

In case of coal-fired energy plant the coal supply is managed by the RFID technology. The coal is transported by the rail cars to the power plants. During the winter time when it is hard to work due to the hard meteorological conditions. Applications of RFID may automatize the tracking of the coal supply. The consumption of coal can be monitored hourly  and the weight of coal can be conveyed by the radio frequency devices.

The information of the RFID based on the book: RFID for energy and utility industries (2009) written by Dipankar Sen, Prosenjit Sen, Anand M. Das
