Energy

Class 1

Energy —— the ability to do work
Work —— when a farce acts on an object through a distance
Farce —— push or a pull

| |Distance |Force |Energy |Power |
|USA units |Foot(ft) |Pounds(lbs) |kWh |hp |
|Metric |Meter(m) |Newton(N)kg*m/s2 |Joules |J/s(watt) |

*kWh —— kilowatt hour hp —— horsepower
33,000 ft*lbs/min = 745 J/s = 746 W —— 1 hp

Power —— the rate at which works is ?
Mechanical —— relates to the movement of an objects or its position is gravity
Sound —— relates to the repetitive compression and rarefaction of molecules in a substance
Chemical —— relates to energy stored in the bonds between atoms in a molecule
Electrical —— relates to the movement or flow of electrons
Light —— relates to on electric change or magnetic field that produce electromagnetic waves
Heat —— relates to the motion of particles, atoms or molecules in a substance
Nuclear —— relates to the potential energy stored in bonds between particles in the nucleus of an atom

Conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, if only changer forms

-Texas has used all of its wind rebates.
Power of a wind turbine
Kinetic energy=1/2 mu^2
The mass in this equation relates to the mass of air that hits the blades. This is related to wind speed. KE=1/2vv^2=1/2v^3
Another thing to consider is the area swept out by the blades
Power=D^2V^3*constant constant=236*10^-6
The constant includes conversion factors, constants, and efficiencies
Be+2 limit- you only can get 59% of the winds energy
-We end up around 30% after real world inefficiencies

Geothermal Energy

The core of the earth is hot for 2 reasons
1) formation of earth( 20%)
2)decay of radioactive materials (80%)
The heat melts rock to make magma
The magma flows up using convection and heats water in the crost
The amount of heat within 30000 ft, contains 50000times more energy than all the fossil fuels.
-easiest place to drill is near tectonic plate boundaries or hat spots.
3 ways to use geothermal D
1) Direct USE 1.hot springs 2.plants and animals 3.industry 4.heating bulidings
2) Heat Pump
-10-15ft the temp is constant (55F)
3) Create electricity 1. Dry steam 2. Flash steam 3. Heat exchange

缺图
The grid has 3 parts
-Generation of Electricity
-produces AC (Alternating Current)
-power transmission-transporting the power from the power plants to substations
-power transformers- A change in voltage and final distribution to end users.
Electricity Loads
Base load-the amount of power required to meet the minimum demands of electricity
-Load following-Intermediate power supply
| |Load |Initial costs |Upkeep cost(fuel) |Capacity factor |
|Coal |Base |4-5 |3-4 |85% |

|Biomass |Base |4-6 |3-4 |83% |
|Geothermal |Base |3-5 |0-1 |92% |

Power transmission
-A high current wire causes heat, thus a loss of energy.
-To avoid this low current/high voltage Alternating current is used.
Blackout- a total loss in voltage
Cascading failure- part failure causes a failure of successive parts
Brown out – a drop in voltage

Largest blackout
-India 2012
-670 million people
-due to a stressed system and operator error largest in US
-2003 northeast
-55 million
-256 power plants went offline national super Grid
-765 KV lines
-Designed to strengthen our grid and integrate large amounts of wind generation

Transformers
Electromagnetic Induction
-Current only flows when there is a charge in the magnetic field.
| |200 (primary) |400 (secondary) |
|Current (amps) |1.05A |0.43 A smaller |
|Voltage (volts) |5.14 V |8.75 V bigger |
|Power (watts) |5.4 W |3.8 W |

P=IV
Efficiency=3.8/5.4*100%=70.4%

Step up : Iv=iV
Step down: iV=Iv

Smart Meter: An electrical meter that relays energy consumption back to the power company.

Light bulbs
Incandescent- produces light by running current through a wire until. It gets hot enough to produce light. - Filed with an inert gas. - Halogen light- similar to an incandescent bulb, but with a halogen gas. - The gas reacts with the filament to prevent darkening and adds life.

CFL: Compact Fluorescent Lamp - A tube filled with gas and then electrified - This excites the mercury gas to produce UV light - The UV light causes phosphor to fluoresce producing visible light.
LED – Light Emitting Diode - Uses two different semiconductor - When current flows in one direction it lights up
| |Lumens/watt |Life |Cost/bulb |Cost/year |
