Forms of energy • Primary energy – as it is found in nature (coal, oil, natural gas in the ground) • Secondary energy – energy that has been converted from primary energy to another form (electricity, refined petroleum products, processed natural gas) • Tertiary energy – one more step in the chain – end-use energy (what we actually want: light, heat, cooling and mechanical power)
Conversions: • Secondary energy = primary energy x conversion efficiency • So, given an amount of secondary energy, divide by the conversion efficiency to get the amount of primary energy required to produce that amount of secondary energy
Figure 2. 1 Primary to Secondary to End-Use Energy
Primary Energy Equivalent of Electricity from Hydropower or Nuclear Power: • Electricity from hydro and nuclear could instead be produced by burning fossil fuels to generate electricity • So, divide the amount of hydro or nuclear electricity by the efficiency in generating electricity from fossil fuels to get the primary energy equivalent of the hydro or nuclear electricity • I use a standardized efficiency of 40% • Thus, 1 MJ of hydro or nuclear (or wind or solar) electricity is treated here as the equivalent of 2. 5 MJ of primary energy
Energy and Power • Energy (the ability to do work) has units of joules (J) • Power is the rate of supplying energy, and has units of watts (W), where 1 W = 1 J/s • Thus, to convert power to energy used, we multiply by the length of time in seconds over which the power is supplied, whereas to convert the amount of energy used over a given time to the average power, we divide energy by time in seconds
Big Numbers • It is convenient to represent global and regional annual energy use in units of exajoules, where 1 EJ = 1018 joules, and to represent world power demand in gigawatts or terawatts, where 1 GW = 109 watts and 1 TW = 1012 watts, so 1 TW=1000 GW • Primary power (W) demand is given by annual energy use (J) divided by the number of seconds in one year • Thus, total world primary energy use in 2005 of 483 EJ corresponds to an average rate of supply of primary energy (primary power) of 15. 3 TW
Electrical Energy • When it comes to the energy supplied by an electrical power plant, it is common to multiply the power times the number of hours in the time period during which the power is supplied • Thus, from k. W (kilowatts) we get k. Wh (kilowatt-hours) from GW (gigwatts) we get GWh (gigawatt-hours) from TW (terawatts) we get TWh (terawatt-hours) • To convert energy in units of k. Wh, GWh or TWh into energy in units involving joules, multiply by the number of seconds in an hour (and divide by the appropriate factor of 10, depending on the desired final units)

Energy Resource and Energy Reserves • Energy Resource: in the case of non-renewable energy: how much is there in the ground and potentially extractable • Energy Reserve: that portion of the resources that it is worthwhile extracting given current prices and technology • As technology improves or prices increase, some of the energy in the resource base becomes part of the reserve
