  1. Systems Engineering for Energy Manufacturing Session Moderator: Leon McGinnis Georgia Tech

  2. EscapingEnergy Solar Radiation Energy fromEnvironment Material Resources EnergyManufacturingSystem Energy Produced MaterialWastes Waste Energy Gravity Energy Available to Consume

  3. Energy Manufacturing System Energy from Environment Conversion Process Material Resource Manufactured Energy Waste Energy Manufactured Energy Transport Process Material Waste At industrial scale, the energy manufacturing system requires a significant amount of infrastructure to support material and energy input, output, and transport.

  4. Scale-up Issues Input/Output: Costs, sustainability Process efficiency: Conversion, transport System efficiency: Bounded by process efficiency System lifecycle cost Best process design at bench scale may not be best process design at manufacturing scale.

  5. This Session • Design optimization of algal production system, Richard Thoms, CFD Research Corp. • Continuous Pressure and Vacuum Cake Dewatering Applied to Harvesting Biomass, Barry Perlmutter, BHS-Filtrations, Inc. • Systematic Analysis of Direct to Ethanol, Ben McCool, AlgenolBiofuels

  6. As you listen … • What are the scale-up challenges? • What new and/or different research is needed to accelerate development of cost effective industrial scale renewable energy manufacturing?
