1 Chapter 16: Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
2 Energy Units Power = Energy/Time = Work/Time: watts Energy = Power x Time: watt-hour kwh = kilowatt-hour (10 3 ) MWh = megawatt-hours (10 6 ) GWh = gigawatt-hours (10 9 ) TWh = terrawatt-hour (10 12 ) The Joule is another common energy unit 1 kwh = 3,600,000 Joules
3 Energy Efficiency Improving the percentage of total energy input that does useful work. A lot of energy is lost due to the Law of Thermodynamics: In every energy transfer, some energy is transferred to a less useful type (usually )
4 Energy Efficiency Lighting uses 19% of the world s energy There are 4.4 billion incandescent bulbs in the US. Law to phase them out was If 1.2 million households replaced a 60 watt incandescent bulb with a 15 watt compact fluorescent bulb for light used 4 hrs/day, ~ kwh/year would be saved enough energy for homes.
5 We could save as much as 43% of all the energy we use by improving energy efficiency. Energy Inputs System Outputs 9% 7% Four widely used devices that waste a large amount of energy: Incandescent light bulb Motor vehicle with an internal engine power plant -fired power plant 85% 8% 4% 3% U.S. economy Nonrenewable fossil fuels Nonrenewable nuclear Hydropower, geothermal, wind, solar Biomass 41% 43% Useful energy Petrochemicals Unavoidable energy waste Unnecessary energy waste
6 Energy Efficiency Net energy efficiency: the net efficiency of the entire energy delivery process is determined by the efficiency of each in the energy conversion process.
7 Ways to Improve Energy Efficiency (Combined Heat and Power- CHP): the production of two useful forms of energy from the same fuel source Example: waste heat from generator used to heat water. Better insulated homes Use of energy efficient lighting & appliances Increase the fuel efficiency of motor vehicles

10 Renewables are increasing rapidly
11 Change in Electric Power Generation by State: Use of coal down in states, only 1 has an increase (KY) Natural Gas has increased (ex. DE) Many Renewables have increased, although they are still relatively a small ews&utm_content=
12 United States Electricity Sources % from fossil fuels Of the % in the renewable (non-hydro) category, 67% is biomass Percentage of total US energy consumption used to generate electricity: 1940: % 1970: % 2010: % Nation s electric bill = $247 Billion Average cost/kwh = $0.07 $247 billion/$0.07/kwh = ~3.5 TWh (3.5 x )
13 America s Grid US has ~10,000 power plants Average efficiency ~ % Majority of plants are > years old Newer plants using can have efficiencies of 65-90%
14 America s Grid 157,000 miles of high voltage transmission lines decrease voltage for use in homes, etc. and distribution losses increased from ~5% in 1970 to ~9.5% in 2001, due to heavier use and more frequent congestion of the grid transmission lines have lower losses, but are 10x more expensive to build and are harder to maintain Substation
15 America s Grid : Electricity Infrastructure Demand has increased by since 1990 Construction of new lines has decreased by Resulting congestion of transmission pathways create bottlenecks, and higher costs because customers cannot get access to lower-cost electricity supplies Estimated cost of power outages and power quality disturbances due to congestion is $25-$180 billion per year Increased use of information technologies has decreased public for power quality problems Construction of new facilities is often tied up in America s aging infrastructure versus increased demand for power will require large investments to upgrade the system
16 Renewable Energy Resources Original Energy from Sun: Solar power (dams, waves, solar ponds) Wind power Biomass Energy Independent of Sun: power Fuel (maybe) Tidal Energy (mostly)
17 Solar Energy solar Sunlight is captured directly within a structure & converts it into low temperature heat for space heating. Heat is stored in walls & floors & is released slowly throughout the day. A passive solar & superinsulated is the cheapest way to heat a home in regions where sunlight is available more than 60% of daylight hours.
18 Passive Home Design /09/26/business/energyenvironment/26smart.html?e mc=eta1&pagewanted=print
19 Solar Energy solar heating solar collectors absorb solar energy & a fan or pump supplies the building s space or water heating needs

49 Electric Cars Electric Motor Note: from a pro-tesla website Combustion Engine
50 Electric Cars Based on grid emissions (i.e. amount of fossil fuels used to generate electricity by region Source: Union of Concerned Scientists: vs-electric-global-warming-emissions- 953?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=fb&utm_cam paign=fb
51 Electric Cars Pros: CO 2 emission-free while driving Electricity is cheaper than gas Cons: Limited Time to charge vs. time to fill with gas Lack of (nationwide rapid-charging stations) Currently expensive Most electricity is currently produced from Tesla Model 3 (2017) Battery replacement/disposal But many of these cons are changing fairly rapidly as the technology progresses
52 Hydrogen Fuels Energy is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen The hydrogen is stored in fuel cells The hydrogen then combusts with oxygen to produce water Fig Note: Law of Conservation of : The energy required to split H 2 O to make H 2 = amount of energy obtained by combusting H 2 to make water
53 Hydrogen Fuel Pros: the source of hydrogen, water, is plentiful when burned, hydrogen produces no carbon dioxide, but instead water vapor & nitrogen oxides reduce problems & greenhouse gas emissions Cons: requires energy source to split hydrogen from water currently nonrenewable energy sources are used to produce hydrogen, negating many benefits Hydrogen is highly flammable (but less explosive than gasoline) some hydrogen fuel is produced from (CH 4 ), a greenhouse gas
54 TRADE-OFFS Hydrogen Advantages Can be produced from plentiful water Low environmental impact Renewable if produced from renewable energy resources No CO 2 emissions if produced from water Good substitute for oil Competitive price if environmental and social costs are included in cost comparisons Easier to store than electricity Safer than gasoline and natural gas Nontoxic High efficiency (45 65%) in fuel cells Fuel cell Disadvantages Not found as H 2 in nature Energy is needed to produce fuel Negative net energy CO 2 emissions if produced from carboncontaining compounds Environmental costs not included in market price Nonrenewable if generated by fossil fuels or nuclear power High costs (that may eventually come down) Will take 25 to 50 years to phase in Short driving range for current fuel-cell cars No fuel distribution system in place Excessive H 2 leaks may deplete ozone in the atmosphere Fig , p. 430
55 Solutions Hydrogen Fuel use renewable sources of energy, most notably, to produce hydrogen for combustion currently it costs more to use solar energy than other non-renewable energies Sandia currently is experimenting with nanodevices that use sunlight to split water ( For more info on the future of hydrogen in the US, go to
