Role of Local/National Government in Promoting % RE

Renewable Energy

Source: Droege 2010

LOCAL GOVERNMENT NATIONAL GOVERNMENT

1. Strong and enlightened Renewable

Energy Policy- e.g. solar ordinance of

the city of Barcelona (Droege, 2008).

2. Strong individual leadership (civic and

administrative) within the technical team

of the city.

3. Establishing financing scheme for RES

installations.

4. Address stakeholder’s needs and build

on local strengths

5. Create mutual benefits (economic and

environment).

6. Long-term planning

7. Encourage innovation through Research

and development

1. As a first step, National Commissions of

Inquiry should be set up to assess

framework conditions, and to propose

and support effective urban agendas

and funding programs.

2. Not to engage in policies that harm

cities' quest for 100 percent renewable

status.

3. To embrace feed-in legislation, the most

effective path to rapid local RE uptake.

4. To enact legislation supporting RE

development at regional and national

levels to supplement urban efforts.

• Photovoltaic (PV) cells

Page 15: Lecture n. 5 - Sustain Energy and Low Carbon...Production can create land use competition and the usual problems associated with intensive agriculture (Nutrient pollution, soil depletion,

Solar Thermal Energy

Solar energy

• Solar thermal electric energy generation concentrates the light from the sun to create heat,

and that heat is used to run a heat engine, which turns a generator to make electricity.

• The working fluid that is heated by the concentrated sunlight can be a liquid or a gas.

• Different working fluids include water, oil, salts, air, nitrogen, helium, etc. Different engine

types include steam engines, gas turbines, Stirling engines, etc.

Sun’s infrared rays are concentrated

through reflecting mirrors on a heating fluid

(normally liquid salt) medium, which in turn

generates steam to propel turbines

Technologies

Bio-energy

REEEP / UNIDO; 2006

There are two main ways to use the bioenergy:

• Biofuels (biodiesel, bioethanol)

• Biopower: use the biomass to generate electricity, the main types

of biopower systems are:

Direct-fired (burns biomass directly)

Cofiring (burns biomass as supplementary energy source)

Gassification (convert biomass into gas (H2, CO, CH4) with an

environment characterized by high temperature and low

oxygen level)

Anaerobic digestion (bacteria decompose organic matter in

the absence of oxygen, producing Methane)

Pyrolysis (produce liquid fuels when the biomass is heated in

absence of oxygen)

Strengths & Weaknesses

Bio-energy

REEEP / UNIDO; 2006

Strengths Weaknesses

Conversion technologies available in a wide

range of power levels at different levels of

technological complexity

Production can create land use competition and the

usual problems associated with intensive

agriculture (Nutrient pollution, soil depletion, soil

erosion, other water pollution problems).

Fuel production and conversion technology

indigenous in developing countries

Often large areas of land are required (usually low

energy density/yield). In some cases (e.g. corn-

derived bioethanol) may yield no net energy.

Production can produce more jobs that other

renewable energy systems of a comparable size

Production can have high fertiliser and water

requirements

Conversion can be to gaseous, liquid or solid fuel May require complex management system to

ensure constant supply of resource, which is often

bulky adding complexity to handling, transport and

storage

Environmental impact low (overall no increase in

carbon dioxide) compared with conventional

energy sources

Resource production may be variable depending

on local climatic/weather effects, i.e. drought.

Emits less SO2 and NOx than fossil fuels Likely to be uneven resource production throughout

the year

Overview

Hydro power

REEEP / UNIDO; 2006

Hydropower is divided in four main classes:

• Large hydropower schemes hundreds of MWs

• Small hydropower (SHP) < 10 MW

• Micro < 500 kW

• and Pico hydro < 50W

Characteristics:

• Reliable

• Cost effective

• Lifetime > 30 years

• flexible operations: fast start-up and shut-down

• Most mature of renewable energies

• Largest global contributor amongst all renewable energies

• Largely utilizes established technology from other sectors

• Can be “switched on-off” at almost immediately

• Arguably the Cheapest where available

Hydropower is divided in two main types:

Impoundment Diversion (run-of-river)

Page 44: Lecture n. 5 - Sustain Energy and Low Carbon...Production can create land use competition and the usual problems associated with intensive agriculture (Nutrient pollution, soil depletion,

Strengths & Weaknesses

Hydro power

REEEP / UNIDO; 2006

Strengths Weaknesses

Technology is relatively simple and robust with lifetimes of over 30 years without major new investment

Very site-specific technology (requires a suitable site relatively close to the location where the power is needed)

Overall costs can, in many case, undercut all other alternatives

On small streams the maximum power is limited and cannot expand if the need grows

Automatic operation with low maintenance requirements

Droughts and changes in local water and land use can affect power output

No fuel required (no additional costs for fuel nor delivery logistics)

Although power output is generally more predictable it may fall to very low levels or even zero during the dry season

Environmental impact low compared with conventional energy sources

High capital/initial investment costs

Power is available at a fairly constant rate and at all times, subject to water resource availability

Engineering skills required may be unavailable/expensive to obtain locally

The technology can be adapted for manufacture/use in developing countries

What is Cogeneration & its Advantages?

Co-generation

• Save a lot of wasted energy.

• Decentralize the electricity generation

• Promoting liberalization in energy market.

• Increased efficiency of energy conversion and use

• Lower emissions, especially CO2

• Cost savings

Contributing to prevention of global warming…

• A cogeneration system utilizes exhaust heat which is dumped in generating electricity, and

so makes the most of the limited resources.

• Because it reduces the amount of exhausting greenhouse gas such as CO2 (Carbon

Dioxide) and NOx(Nitrogen Oxides), it can contribute a lot to prevention of global warming.

Green roofs/walls

Multifunctional façade

Intensive

• Depth of 1ft. or more

• Involve high maintenance plants such as trees

and shrubs

• Irrigation system often necessary

• High maintenance

• Considerable weight load

• Less common

• Commonly accessible by public

Extensive

• Shallow depth (typically 2-4 in.)

• Low growing, often broad leaved plants

• Plants with ability to withstand harsh weather

conditions

• Extremely low maintenance

• Minimal weight load

Green roofs/walls: advantages

Multifunctional façade

• Stormwater Retention: Green roofs can retain up to

75 percent of one-inch rainfall and help alleviate the

problem;

• Reduction of urban heat island effect: Vegetation

can help provide shade and keep the temperature of

the building surface at low temperature;

• Improved air quality: Green roofs absorb and filter

airborne particles moving across their surfaces.

• Energy conservation: Green roofs impact the heat

gain and loss of a building;

• Increased roof life span: They shield the membrane

from damaging ultraviolet rays maintaining a

consistent membrane temperature and limit freeze-

thaw cycling.

Integrated multifunctional façade

Multifunctional façade

• Combine photovoltaics and solar thermal

systems to supply energy to the building;

• Use new materials to protect and enhance the

performance of the building

• Use new technologies to support the natural

ventilation of the building improving the comfort

and reducing the costs

• Adaptive façade systems building materials for

improving envelope thermal-energy features.
