![]() The operation of the electric system is conducted by balancing authorities, which ensures that power supply and demand are balanced to maintain reliability of the power system. Balancing authorities do this by controlling the generation and transmission of electricity throughout their own regions and between neighboring regions. The Eastern Interconnection has 36 balancing authorities, and the Western Interconnection has 37.Įlectricity Market Structures – Questions & Answers What is the difference between vertically integrated and restructured electricity markets? are balancing authorities, and some electric utilities also serve in this role. State electricity markets have traditionally been vertically integrated where the utility may own or oversee the generation, transmission, and delivery of electricity to customers. This structure evolved as electrification spread in the early parts of the last century because the provision of electric service was deemed a natural monopoly. In the late 1990’s/early 2000’s, some states began the process of restructuring their energy markets (retail electricity and sometimes natural gas) to increase competition in the generation of electricity. ![]() States that restructured required electric utilities to sell their generation assets while the transmission and distribution system remained under their ownership. Thirteen states have fully restructured their retail electricity markets, and in some instances allow consumers to decide from whom to purchase electricity called “retail choice.” Six states suspended restructuring whereas eight others are exploring retail choice options. Some states, like California, have partially restructured markets and only permit certain consumers to engage in retail choice. Under this structure, utilities are responsible for the generation, distribution and transmission of power to customers.A map from the Edison Electric Institute of state’s that restructured and key differences between vertically integrated and restructured markets is below. Utilities typically own all or some of the generation assets, distribution lines, as well as some of the transmission lines needed to serve customers. ![]() Turns out cashless tolling is here to stay. While many drivers hunkered down at home, all-electronic tolling was implemented to protect workers and consumers. Last year, as a precaution during the pandemic, Illinois switched to all electronic tolling. If you’ve done much driving in the past year, you may have noticed a slight difference at the toll booth. So paying the stupid few bucks is a lot easier then going through all the other stuff that "could" happen. Now, I'm sure someone is going to point out that this all might not happen. Your probably going to spend a night in jail for that one. Then (around here) the cops will just wait until they see you driving and then pull you over and give you a ticket for driving without a license. But, the cops will because it shows up in on the computer right away. During this period you are driving without a license and you don't know it. ![]() My area is so rural and has so many cops that have so little to do they are going to stop you and talk to you about it the next time they see you in town.Īlso, what if the state that you got the toll (fine) in yanks your divers license for not paying ? Then you are going to be in a world of hurt.Īlso, if the state you got the toll (fine) in yanks your license it takes days if not weeks for you to get the letter in the mail. ![]() If they haven't done it already, I wouldn't be surprised if states start having "reciprocity" for sharing information about toll and vehicle traffic ticket information.Īround here even if you don't pay toll (fine or whatever) in some other state the local police are going to know about it because it shows up on there local squad cars computer. Or, more and more likely these days, it could pop up on a cop's computer just by them driving by you - notice those multiple camera things mounted on the sides of police car roofs? More and more these days there are license plate readers in addition to speed radar guns. You may be stopped for going through a stop sign and it comes up. If you ignore toll bills from other states, be careful driving through those states in the future - I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up on a police car's in-car computer that you were delinquent next time you happen to drive through a state. Thing is, in today's world, everything is tracked and saved by computers. I've never encountered one of these toll sections, and I'm avoiding I-65 through Louisville, KY like a passion!īut, what happens if you simply do not pay the bill that comes in the mail? So, say you are from another state, you go through one of those toll sections, and they send you a bill 3 months later. I can't believe that SunPass and EzPass still haven't figured out how to do proper billing between themseleves despite a federal law that required it by October of 2016, it's not hard to do they just don't want to and as long as the fed isn't withholding road funds there's no teeth behind the law. They will automatically refill it with $20 whenever you go under the minimum amount, but just not having to stop for tolls in most areas is worth the infinitesimally small amount of interest I might earn on that $20. Mass will send you up to 4 transponders for free and there is no monthly fee as long as you have a credit or debit card linked to your account. I do not drive enough on toll roads to justify EZ Pass. Before on weight I was class 1 like cars, now on height I'm a class 2, much higher fees. I found an alternate route across Ohio after they changed the way they rate vehicles. The bill did come in the mail later and it wasn't bad, but I like to know in advance before I incur a liability. I stopped at a rest area and asked the turnpike staff & they had no fees posted nor did they have any handouts with them. When in Mass this May I could not find any way to discover what the fees were. ![]() The cookie is used to store the user consent for the cookies in the category "Analytics".

Liquid Source Vaporization Control Systems - Principle of Vaporization Injection method The use of a piezo actuator valve, which is both stable and does not generate heat, as the control valve makes these units ideal for flow control of liquids with low boiling points. Since they use a feedback control system, there are no flow rate variations as a result of external factors, and, therefore, stable, accurate control is possible. They compare the flow rate setting signal and the flow rate output signal and automatically control the valve aperture so that the two signals will match. The LV-F series of mass flow controllers are similar to the LF-F series of mass flow meters, but also have a piezo actuator valve and an internal comparison control circuit. It also prevents problems with interference due to the influence of secondary discharge (vaporization) and makes accurate flow rate measurements possible. Unlike methods where heat is added, this cooling method enables flow rate measurement of liquids with low boiling points. When the liquid is flowing, the sensor detects the temperature rise (⊗T) corresponding to the flow rate and displays it as a flow rate. The flow rate sensor in the LF-F/LV-F series of fine mass flow controllers for liquids consists of an electronic cooling element (Peltier element) that is in contact with a capillary tube, as well as several temperature detection elements. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment.Liquid Mass Flow Control - Measurement Principles Cooling measurement method Mike’s Auto Service & Repair in West Springfield, MA, can test your mass airflow sensor to make sure it is functioning properly. It will stutter and hiccup as you drive along and, depending on the air and fuel imbalance, it might even stall as you slow down and stop. Engine Hiccupsįinally, an air and fuel imbalance caused by a mass airflow sensor that is going bad can also make your engine hiccup. As you are driving along, if there is too much fuel in the engine, your engine may surge, which means it picks up speed even though you didn’t increase your foot pressure on the accelerator. It can also make your acceleration jerky. Too much fuel can make your engine hesitate because it is being flooded. Things that can cause additional stress on your engine include towing and driving up a steep hill. This will cause your engine to hesitate and drag, especially if it is under stress. If the mass airflow numbers indicate there is less air in the engine than there actually is, the ECM will reduce the amount of gasoline flowing into the combustion chamber. This can be attributed to the lean or rich fuel mixture being caused by the ECM because of the faulty MAF. It can also stall while you are idling, as discussed above. Engine Stalls After Starting or When Idlingīecause the air and fuel mixture isn’t balanced correctly due to the faulty mass airflow sensor, your engine may stall very quickly after you finally get it started. Either condition will make it hard to get your automobile started, especially on a cold morning. A rich fuel mixture could be flooding the engine with too much diesel fuel or gasoline. A lean fuel mixture means that there isn’t enough fuel in the combustion chamber for the spark plugs to ignite. ![]() Difficulty Starting Your CarĪnother sign that the fuel mixture is off is problems starting your automobile. Your vehicle will have a hard time idling on either a lean or rich fuel mixture, and it will sputter and might even stall. The ECM may also increase the amount of fuel in the combustion chamber and create a rich fuel mixture. If the MAF is not reading the air influx correctly, the ECM may reduce the amount of fuel in the combustion chamber and create a lean fuel mixture. Mike’s Auto Service & Repair explains that this can throw the air and fuel mixture off and, as a consequence, you’ll notice the list of things below. The MAF communicates with the engine control module (ECM), and if it sends misread air amounts, the ECM will adjust how much fuel it allows into the combustion chamber. Tasked with keeping track of how much air flows into the engine, the mass airflow (MAF) sensor plays a key role in determining how much air needs to be in the combustion chamber. To get the silver effect, while the black paint was still wet, I added pearly white fabric paint – mixed with the black it created a silver. I added a small black mouth, black straps on each side of the eyes, and a thicker outline around the eyeball. Once that was dry, I added the Minion goggle details.

I started by drawing a chalk circle shape at the front of each shoe to use as a guide. I started with a plain pair of white shoes and DecoArt® SoSoft fabric paint in white pearl, bright yellow and black.

New shoes have to be one of her favorite things to buy-like mother like daughter, I guess. With a fixed budget, she has learned that you have to be frugal and get the most bang for your buck when shopping. During the party, he dressed up as a masked power ranger type superhero.

Troy has straight, dirty blond, ginger hair, with long bangs which go off to one side, like the stereotypical emo kid. All opinions, ideas, and images are completely my own. Disclaimer: this post is sponsored by DecoArt. Both guns will remain in our family for years and I plan on shooting both regularly. The other thing I want to change is the front sight on the KC as soon as I can find one from a Python. The frame sizes compare to SW K frame for the KC, and L frame for the Python. The controls, (trigger, hammer and cylinder release) are finished nicer on the Python. So what do you get for the extra $500 MSRP? The Python has a wide hammer spur where the KC is narrow. I did change the grips to Pachmayr presentation grips from a “D” frame which closer resemble the original KC. Fit and finish is excellent but not quite the same as the Python. Now the King Cobra Target, l think the Target model closely responsible‘s the original KC but is on a smaller frame. ![]() The only thing I would like to see on it is a wider non serrated trigger. As some have stated I ended up buying a 2019 King Cobra Target anyway.įirst the Python, I think Colt has hit it out of the park on this one. I purchased a new 2020 Python first as this is a gun I have wanted since the late seventies when I was in high school after shooting a friends. I could not find any dealers who had them both in stock to compare. I was seeking information on the difference and was unable to find it. I realize this is an older thread but would like to respond. There's a pride in ownership of a Python that other revolvers can replicate outside of a very few.a S&W Registered Magnum for example. The King Cobra is excellent.the Python being on a larger frame will tame recoil some. There's always plus and minuses in machined tolerances that cannot be eliminated by any manufacture unless cost is no object and then interchangeability of parts is lost. When it comes to practical accuracy, it's probably a wash plus there's always the unavoidable mechanical differences between two otherwise identical pieces of machinery. Rare is the person who can get the absolute maximum bit of accuracy out of any handgun. I would think either is more accurate than most shooters can hold. Still.quality of materials is still the same (the Python does have a proprietary grade of steel specified I understand).changes are due to manufacturing techniques.Īccuracy also depends on the shooter. The Python's trademark ventilated rib barrel.more costly. ![]() The Python is nearly all forgings.more costly. The King Cobra is built with a number of MIM parts.hammer, trigger and who knows what else. They both have essentially a similar action though I don't know if any parts are interchangeable as the Python frame is larger so parts, while similar won't be the same. The Python is excellent.whether it's worth the monetary difference is up to the individual. ![]() That's not to say it's perfect.no handgun is. The new King Cobra is a fine revolver.equal to pretty much any contemporary revolver. And while we were close to everything, Casa Marina was far enough away from the buzz of major tourism to feel like a quiet retreat. It was a quick 10-minute Uber from Key West International Airport (EYW) and minutes to bike pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. It’s tough to beat the view and quiet location on the largest private beach in Key West. Still, we were charmed by Casa Marina and would make a return trip. It isn’t aging as gracefully as it could be, service (while friendly and accommodating) was stretched thin, room cleanliness was lacking, and the interiors needed a significant upgrade. ![]() It’s not hard to guess why: the property isn’t what it once was. My expectations were spot on and we had a lovely stay, but there were certainly some flaws in this diamond of Key West.Ĭasa Marina was a Waldorf Astoria when it first caught my eye but changed to a Curio Collection property in March 2022. I had a Hilton free night certificate to use along with some Hilton Honors points and considered Casa Marina a good redemption value for both my certificate and points. ![]() ![]() I chose the Casa Marina for its location, beach access, and historic allure. Overall, Casa Marina proved to be a fantastic home base in Key West. We were thrilled to explore this historic tropical island that’s home to Hemingway’s 6-toed cats, some of the best snorkeling in the Lower 48, and endless key lime pie. I visited Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton in May 2022 on a long-awaited 3-night getaway to Key West with my husband.
