The Project

By Adithya Sridhar(TU Chemnitz )

Energy and Power Management

Theme

1) Increased applications and usage of high technology gadgets

2) Drastic intake of energy resources from nature in the form of petroleum , fuels, mine for minerals etc.

3) Deforestation, resource exploitations leading to resource crisis and Global Warming.

The main focusNeed to balance the global energy crisis

Focus towards Renewable energy

Reducing the usage of Non Renewable energy reserves.

Law of conservation and energy transformation principles.

The topics for analysationSolar energyWind energyHydroelectricityEnergy HarvestingNuclear energy Oil reserves and its usageThermal energy.

Preview about solar energy usage

THE FACTORS TO BE NOTED

regional programs led by national or state governments and the extent of subsidies within these  

the enthusiasm of customers for green energy especially solar

local electricity tariffs (high electricity rates encourage alternative sources of energy)

solar (sunlight) conditions (solar electricity prices fall as sunlight levels increase)

marketing strategies by solar companies the extent of the "delivery infrastructure" (the

number of local suppliers and qualified installers)

Solar Energy consumerOne kilowatt-hour (kWh) equals the amount of

electricity needed to burn a 100 watt light bulb for 10 hours. Prices up to $15,000 are also possible as are lower prices depending upon

a) the kind of PV System, b) country of purchase c) how the system is purchased and d) the surface to which the system is attached. A 1-2 kilowatt (1000-2000 watts) one and two days

to install. costing $9 per watt peak about 25-30 US cents per kilowatt hour in a sunny climate.

silicon cell Solar Module will have a life in excess of 20 years ,electric generating capacity may degradate between 0-20%. Although warrantied for 20 years or more, the warranty on the, inclusive of the other components, is usually 5 years or less.

Installation and Budget

Wind Energysuccesful and efficient method of Generating power

used in 2000 BC by Egyptions to sail along Nile

16th century,used in Europe as Windmills and to pump water from wells.

where the success ratio and gestation period for reaching profit is very less which is beneficial..

Reasons for fast improvisationHigh Strength Fiber composites for

constructing large,low cost bladesFalling prices of the power electronics

associated with power systemVariable Plant operation ,pushing the

availability upto 95% workAccumalated field experience

improving the capacity factor upto 40 %

Offshore plantationIntroduction of Offshore plant increased the

potential with ist high effeciency level.An offshore installation density of 8 MW

capacity per square kilometre of area.3,000 equivalent full load hours per year

on average, this would result in an electricity production of about 61,660 TWh a year.

Belgium,Netherland,Finland,Germany,England lead the way for offshore installation.

Hydro ElectricityMajor source for power generation in

the mode of renewable resource.Has a high efficiency and long yield

time .Clean power generation and solves

multipurpose Application is limited, the net potential

is high.Longer time to reach the comercial

profit but a stable long run plant

Energy HarvestingPrinciples of conservationPrinciples of energy Transformation but

Installation of Piezo ,pyro electric crystalsModern day advancement in Nano

Fabrication and smart film enables the process

The bright future expected as the days progress

Sensors and transducers plays a major role

Nuclear EnergyEnergy with big

processing needed Used in a higher ratio

when compared to last 2 decades

Involves high risk in Fuel Disposal

Requires skilled operators in executing plant

Nuclear accident and radiations are fatal

World Nuclear status

Thermal power plant

It is one of the oldest power generating methods

Used high value of coal and petroleum resources

Takes upto 40% efficiency and gestation period is low and profit is reached faster

Remains as one of the major world power source

Established in 19th century 1st for running engines

High CO2 emition rate and resulting in pollution and more fly ash

Global Future ??????We live in the world of GadgetsMachines and technology rules everyone.Consumption level increases by 8% every

yearPower generated from renewable sources

increasing by 2 % every year when compared to efficiency and cost.

Developed country consume 5 % more Developing countries consume 10 % more

Generalised plan for power management with renewable sources

Problems and Flaws in plansThe cost of power development was 4 % more

than the power investment during the year 2003

The cost for power development and resource management during 2007 was 4.2 % more

During the year the sudden hike in Oil Price resulted in costing 8 % more

This rise in prices will vary as the resources like oil , petroleum and coal still remains unsure.

Market trends for solar energyMarket trend in Solar energy still

remains a puzzle with respect to the consumers

The types of consumers are classified

1)The technicial crue2)The economically strong section3)The real thriving consumers

High Project costingsThe field of Thin films, Nano fibrated

waffers has resulted in developing PV with 16 % efficiency

The success ratio of the projects are very less and resulting in the high price burdened on the users

High capital investments required and the resourced used at the places where efficiency is low

Global Economy crisis Hit the primary research centres in their funds

Wind energy potentialLarge agencies work with improvising the

Wind energy systems.Private Firms establishing the wind plants

were hit by the lack of funding agenciesThere were 16 major bank funding sources

for energy management out of which 12 were closed and only4 of them persits

This affected the whole set up and plans by the global nations in their power outlook

BlessingsField of High Voltage has played major

roleSteady and slow progress helped in

improving the effiency in power gain as the Transmissional losses were over come

The improvement in the field of Nano technology gave the scientist bright hopes and success in transmission through underwater lines.

Researches in HVDC is reaching success and is predicted to assist in the power transmission needs

Need for a global governing organisation

To solve all the power and energy crisis ,to maintain global awareness and peace, we have a need to come up with a global body governing power and management for the whole world

Like UNESCO ,UNICEF or WHOTo balance the energy consumption and

production levelTo provide the scientic technology to the parts

of the world lacking them and to explore the un explored part.

Factors of concern

What to start ?How to start ?For Whom to start ?Impact ?Duration to achieve results ?

Benefits ?

1 $ per personIf the each and every individual in

this world can give 1 $ , this would be good enough to have a strong support for scientific and research exchange.

This results in Global Peace.We are united by science and

Energy crisis is problem for every individual consumer of this world.

Problems to be expectedThe Gloabal climatic changes that may

hit the plans and energy consumtion and energy generation#

Cost involved in the Research and Developments in Technology

The global Market Trend and economy and per captia income which may change in the negative side.

Reduction or extinction of species of Bird becuase of High Wind plants .

ConclusionWith millions of scientist working,Billions of consumers , Trillions of

gadgetsIn an never ending field of science, For

the sake of humanity lets unite ourselves and explore the best methods of power generation and make the efficient resesource management..

Its NOW or NEVER

Lets honour the Men who worked in developing scienceLet Honour the science what brought us hereLets honour the science what shows us the future

For the science for the future all the Human in this known world.
