Do Now • What are the advantages/disadvantages to utilizing the following compared to fossil fuels: • Solar Power • Wind Power • Geothermal Power • Hydroelectric Power
CHAPTER 24 SUN, WIND AND WATER ENERGY FUELED BY THE SUN A tiny island makes big strides with renewable energy
A Danish community transforms from using imported fossil fuels to being independent with renewable energy sources.
Renewable Energy from sources that are replenished or are perpetually available Sustainable Energy Renewable energy with low environmental impact
How Most Renewable Energy Technologies Work 1. Some force moves a turbine (turbine is like a propeller) a) Wind – moving air b) Nuclear – steam produced by nuclear reaction c) Hydropower – moving water 2. Turbine turns the generator. 3. Generator produces electricity 4. Electricity transmitted via the grid to homes.
Wind Energy derived from the motion of air across Earth’s surface
Converting Wind to Electricity
Do Now • What is solar energy, and how does it work? • What types of solar energy exist? • How effective are solar panels at converting the suns energy into electricity?
Solar Energy harnessed from the sun in the form of heat or light
Solar Technologies 1. Photovoltaic (solar) Cells: convert solar energy directly into electricity. 2. Active Solar: use of mechanical equipment to capture and convert solar energy to usable form. 3. Passive Solar Technology: capture of solar energy without electronic or mechanical aids. 4. Solar Thermal System: active capture of solar energy for heating.
Passive Solar Technology
Solar Hot Water Heaters
Photovoltaic Cells
Samsø’s Windmills
Geothermal Energy harnessed from the heat of underground fluids Geothermal Power Plants Use hydrothermal heat to produce steam to turn turbines that drives the generator to provide energy for the grid
Almost all homes in Iceland are heated by geothermal energy
Hydropower Energy harnessed from moving water Provides more electricity around the world than any other renewable source
A serious problem with hydropower is the habitat destruction that occurs from flooding to create the dam and reservoir
Issues with Renewable Energy Sources 1. Currently expensive – but price will go down as technologies improve 2. Payback time – time to save enough money to pay for the equipment 3. Intermittency – sun does not shine at night; - wind does not blow all day 4. Cannot store energy – large batteries do not exit
Conservation Making choices that use less energy
20% of the average home electricity bill is from lighting. How can you save money? Simply turn off lights or switch to more efficient bulbs (e. g. , compact fluorescent).
Energy-Saving Strategies
Within a few years Samsø was producing more energy from renewable sources than it was using!
