Last wednesday we went to the MOS for our class project. we can gain more science knowledge through this visiting. The most importantly we can get more idea about sustainability and energy into an experiment which we are going to do.

we went to the second floor which is science section, we went to check the solar panel, there was a screen to show about how much energy you can get when you add more panel in the same location. you can also do the combination of wind, nuclear and solar panel to find out what is the best way to improve energy efficient.

we have learned a lot of knowledge about renewable energy and we all thought this science trip was fun and educational.

When the professor told us we had to do some creative experiment based on sustainability, then we had a group discussion. First we tired to do the solar panel, but one of my group member said it is hard to get the material. after so many discussion, we came up with an amazing idea that was wind turbine. we can use the LabView to analysis the data and also we can apply some theories to get results we want. And we found out that it would be very interesting project because we could build our own wind turbine and better understand how do they work. this project is very fit for our topics: sustainability. When our professor hear what we are going to do, she suggested that we can use the LabView and she can order the kit for us. so we are really excited about the experiment.

The demand response is using for the customers to reducing their cost of electricity when they are using the power. it can give an opportunity for the consumers to make plans about how to balance their power need or avoid their cost during the busy time.

The Whole purpose of demand response is to balance supply and demand. it can help the people to know about how to lower the retail rates. The demand response can provide those benefits for them.

Demand response has been using for the United State for couple years and it is good because there are tons of people who are rely on the power supple and if there are some natural disaster happen, it will be affect the supply and demand for the electricity.  so it is good to know how to prevent the issues happen.
