Introduction/Background Information
The high population growth rate and industrialization have predisposed the entire globe to an acute problem of power shortage. The increases in human population lead to higher demands for power since more industries get established to cushion people against any impending challenge of power shortage. Thus, the reliability of power is inherent to the methods of transmission used, efficiency of such methods, economies associated with these methods, safety measures, and the nature and state of materials used in the direct transmission of energy (Melhem, 2013). Current energy transmissions system relies on long-distance transmission lines since electricity is not necessarily consumed at their points of production. In most cases, the point of production is located far away from their destined places of consumption. It’s because of this vast distance involved in energy transmission that a lot of energy losses and power leakages are involved. This is what leads to the adoption of new materials, which are not only energy efficient, but also have enhanced reliability in energy transmission (Masters, 2013). The reliance on current energy transmission materials has subjected the long-distance power transmission to economy questions. This research is anchored on finding different materials that would help in reducing huge losses associated with conventional materials in long-distance energy transmissions.
Research Scope/Objectives
The scope of this research is anchored on various objectives, which would be adopted to realize a power loss platform on transmission lines by adopting newer transmissions materials (Kusada, 2014). Therefore, adopting efficient and effective materials will contribute to the minimization of power losses in the transmission lines, which has been the main problem in the current transmissions lines.
Determination of the Joule effect with the conventional transformers
Seeks to determine power loss due to conductivity of the copper wire on the conventional cabling systems
Seeks to find out the economy against the effects of installing energy efficient over the conventionally-used transformers (In Sharma, & In Kar, 2015).
Seeks to examine power loss associated with energy-efficient cables over long distance transmission
Determination of power loss when new magnetic coils are used in the power distribution over the traditional transformer windings
Seeks to examine the overall economy in power distribution associated with new materials over current material used in power transmission and distribution (Huggins, 2015).
These objectives will arrive at one point, determination of the economy and efficiency of newer materials compared with the current materials that are sued in long and short distance power transmissions.
Methodology
The methodology of this research is grounded on quantitative method of data collection. Empirical test is one method that will be used to test power reliability and economy of these materials. The laboratory tests will examine energy prospects associated with the current materials, and comparing it with newer materials. The experimentation will record power dissipation, current intake, and calculation of the overall power loss in two sets of materials. Other finer calculation will include the efficiency, and power lag associated with new materials, and comparing these values with the current materials used in energy transmissions. This research shall equally rely on secondary sources and journals to determine the reliability of the new materials against the old materials

Qualifications
The study of this research will equip with the prerequisite knowledge to design, and advice the general public about the necessity to economize power. In addition, this study will positively influence the energy sector that is still battling to come up with a more efficient means of power transmissions over long distances. I am well poised to handle such situation, and provide viable advice regarding the most appropriate method of energy transmission.
Conclusion
In conclusion, new materials have enhanced advantages over the traditional materials in the distribution and transmission of power over long distances. This methodology will articulate the best paradigm to adopt in order to minimize losses associated with the current materials. Therefore, I will spur this knowledge to more people and industries in order to save on power generation and transmissions.
