The history of the hydropower in the world: The case of making and using energy!
The idea of using water to produce energy or power is great! One is sending water in the waterfalls to the reservoirs, and there are many various methods for producing power, but the mechanism is often the same. One is warming up water to to steam by combustion or atomic fission, and the warmth is using to speed up a turbine. The turbine gets in turn speed one a dynamo, which is beginning to produce power. This is called a condensation power plant, and if there is much water in the reservoirs the price for power is low, and if there is little water in the reservoirs the price for power is high.
The companies that are earning profit by using the water in the reservoirs are using marketing and strategy and information by giving messages to the markets. This is about marketing and selling power or energy, and you need to be clever and a bit cynical to succeed. We cannot make new world records by just being business with the water coming from the waterfalls, but we should make the sales revenues big, and big enough to pay for salaries and different other costs that we have to a going concern! Business life is about creating more revenues than it costs during the long run. And we should be dynamic, and often looking for new opportunities in the markets when doing activities that stimulate the sales revenues. We cannot use illegal things, but we should use legal and sensible ways to speed up the profit possibility in the firm, and we must use strategy like prices and quality to do this.
It has been common to assume that Norway’s, and perhaps also the first power plant in the world, was used in 1882 in Senjens Nickel Refinery in Hamn on Senja. At that time, one did not perceive that the power could be used anything else than lighting. The power plant was not bigger than it gave enough power or energy to operate eight arc lamps. So, Norway has been leading on producing power from the power plants, and we have history and traditions behind the activities we are putting forward in the markets. But one must understsnd markets and how they are functioning, and one should use the best higher schools and universities in the best countries, if one is clever enough for such efforts and pleasures.
We can simulate every body in the power positions in every society, and all things are about humans of different kinds. And we have education and research background to explain things and persons, and why things and persons are doing what they are doing different places to the same or the different time. Power plants need customers, and there should be employees in the companies in question, and every marketing effort to the customers from the employees should be done to satisfy the customers. And customization and good news are the things we are doing in the firms, and one needs to know and develop market philosophy to be the best person in the relevant company in question.
There are probably more than 50 000 power plants in the world today, and we find them in many countries in the world. Vemork in Norway was the largest power station in 1911. Vemork was producing electricity and heavy water, and heavy water could be used to make the atom bombs better and more effective, and hence heavy water could be the answer whether you could win a war or world war or not. Vemork is used today, and the power plant was put into operation one more in 1971 after the heavy water sabotage during the Second World War, and this operation was led by professor Leif Tronstad, and he amazing and an intelligent guy!
