  5. My Kids

  6. About Kate • Professional • University of Texas (Austin) for undergrad • University of Illinois (UIUC) for grad school • IEEE-PES, HKN, Tau Beta Pi • Research is in power systems • Was TA for ECE 333 Twice Before

  7. About Kate Nonprofessional • Volunteer Firefighting (in Houston) • SCUBA diving • Running marathons (4) • Went skydiving once • HAM radio

  8. Green Electric Energy Systems • Focus of course is on electric energy sources that are sustainable (won’t diminish over time) excluding large-scale hydro • Course is primarily about the electric aspects of the sources • These resources may be large-scale or may be distributed • Courses does not cover nuclear • Course does not cover biological resources (at least not in-depth) • Course is technical, but given the focus we’ll certainly be covering the ethical, policy and current events as well. • Course prerequisite is ECE 205 or ECE 210

  9. ECE 333 Syllabus • Introduction, fundamentals of electric power • Electric Power Grid, Conventional Generation • Wind Power Systems • Wind/Grid Integration, Introduction to Power Flow • Distributed Generation Technologies • Economics of Distributed Resources • Energy Storage including Electric/Pluggable Hybrid Cars • The Solar Resource • Photovoltaic Materials and Systems • Smart Grid Integration Issues

  10. Notation - Power • Power: Instantaneous consumption of energy • Power Units Watts = voltage x current for dc (W) kW – 1 x 103 Watt MW – 1 x 106 Watt GW – 1 x 109 Watt • Installed U.S. generation capacity is about 900 GW ( about 3 kW per person) • Maximum load of Champaign/Urbana about 300 MW

  11. Notation - Energy • Energy: Integration of power over time; energy is what people really want from a power system • Energy Units • Joule = 1 Watt-second (J) • kWh = Kilowatthour (3.6 x 106 J) • Btu = 1055 J; 1 MBtu=0.292 MWh; 1MWh=3.4MBtu • One gallon of gas has about 0.125 MBtu (36.5 kWh); one gallon ethanol as about 0.084 Mbtu (2/3 that of gas) • U.S. electric energy consumption is about 3600 billion kWh (about 13,333 kWh per person)

  13. Electric Transmission System

  14. Electric Systems in Energy Context • Class focuses on renewable electric systems, but we first need to put them in the context of the total energy delivery system • Electricity is used primarily as a means for energy transportation • Use other sources of energy to create it, and it is usually converted into another form of energy when used • About 40% of US energy is transported in electric form, a percentage that is gradually increasing • Concerns about need to reduce CO2 emissions and fossil fuel depletion are becoming main drivers for change in world energy infrastructure

  15. Sources of Energy - US About 86% Fossil Fuels CO2 Emissions (millions of metric tons, and per quad) Petroleum: 2598, 64.0 Natural Gas: 1198, 53.0Coal: 2115, 92.3 1 Quad = 293 billion kWh (actual) 1 Quad = 98 billion kWh (used, taking into account efficiency) Source: EIA Energy Outlook 2009 (Early Release), Table 1, 2008 Data

  20. The World • The total world-wide energy consumption was 472 quad (2006), a growth of about 19% from 2000 values • A breakdown of this value by fuel source is 171.7 quad (36.3%) from petroleum, 127.5 (27.0%) from coal, 108.0 (22.9%) from natural gas, 29.7 (6.3%) from hydroelectric, 27.8 (5.9%) from nuclear, 4.7 (1.0%) other used as electric power, 2.8 (0.6%) other not used as electric power • World-wide total is 86.2% fossil-fuel, and (currently) less than 1.0% in the focus area of this class

  21. The World: Top Energy Users (in Quad), 2006 Data World total is 472; Average per 100 Million people is about 7.32. If world used US averagetotal consumption would be about 2148 quad! • USA – 99.9 • China – 73.8 • Russia – 30.4 • Japan – 22.8 • India – 17.7 • Germany – 14.6 • Canada – 14.0 • France – 11.4 • UK – 9.8 • Brazil – 9.6 Source: US DOE EIA

  35. Eventual Atmospheric CO2 Stabilization Level Depends Upon CO2 Emissions Regardless of what we doin the short-term the CO2 levels in the atmosphere willcontinue to increase. The eventual stabilizationlevels depend upon how quickly CO2 emissions are curtailed.Emissions from electricity production are currently about 40% of the total

  36. And Where Might Temps Go? Note that the modelsshow rate of increase valuesof between0.2 to 0.5 C per decade.The rate from1975 to 2005was about 0.2 C per decade. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Global_Warming_Predictions.png

  38. Energy Economics • Electric generating technologies involve a tradeoff between fixed costs (costs to build them) and operating costs • Nuclear and solar high fixed costs, but low operating costs • Natural gas/oil have low fixed costs but high operating costs (dependent upon fuel prices) • Coal, wind, hydro are in between • Also the units capacity factor is important to determining ultimate cost of electricity • Potential carbon “tax” major uncertainty
