Possible topics for last 2 weeks(votes on first day of class)
(1 point for first, 2 for second etc.)
• Hydrogen economy (128)
• Nuclear Power (fission/fusion) (137)
• Fuel Cells (154); I’ll include this in with Hydrogen economy discussion.
• Unconventional Fossil (189) Won’t cover this.
• Other suggestions now??

Electric Circuit basics• V= I*R
• R is measured in OHMS () 1= 1V/1A
• R = l/A– : resistivity
• (e.g. Cu 1.69x10-8 m; Al 2.75x10-8 m)
– l length of the wire– A cross-sectional area of the wire
• P= I*V

Series and Parallel Circuits
Series circuit: Current is the same in all elements (voltages add)
Parallel circuit: Voltage is the same in all elements (Currents add)

The other side of the circuit
• Need a source of EMF to “lift” the electrons up the potential energy hill in the power source:– Batteries, Fuel Cells (chemical)– Generators (electro-magnetic)– Solar (photo-electric effect)

Batteries
All batteries have the same basic principle, but the chemical reactions and The materials used for the electrodes and electrolytes) differ. This givesDifferent voltages, internal resistances, masses, operating temps, etc.

Batteries: Energy Density
http://www.hardingenergy.com/pdfs/ComparisonofApplication.pdf(as of Jan. 2004, note on this scale, gasoline is 12000 Wh/kg and 9500 Wh/l)Compare these numbers to table 10.1 in the text.

Faraday’s Law• “A coil of wire experiences an electro-
motive force that is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux passing through the loop.”
• Magnetic flux is the product of the magnetic field strength times the area it passes through projected onto the field direction (just like solar flux on a panel).

Look at the text, whichShows an interestingDistinction betweenUtility producers and Non-utility producersIn terms of this mix.(p 319)

US Electrical Power Generation
1978 Pub. Util. Reg. Policy Act opened up competition and led to the introdution of smaller producers (non-utility produces). Note the different mix of fuel sources!

Load (or capacity) factors
http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epa/epa_sum.html
Nuclear and Coal have very large “load factors” (these plants tend to run most of the time, and provide “base load” capacity. Other types of plants, like Natural gas, can be “fired up” more quickly and tend to be used to accommodate peak loads (sometimes called “peaking plants”).

Electrical distribution/transmission
You want to transmit at high voltage (to keep currents, and therefore losses low), but you have to deliver at small voltages (to keep customers safe). AC power, with the use of transformers, makes this possible.

Transmission/distribution lines

Some High Voltage transmissionlines are DC not AC (see right), but they look pretty much the same.

Examples.
• H&K 11-Prob. 2* A small transformer used for a doorbell steps down the voltage from 120V and 0.5A to 12V. What is the flow of current to the door bell, and what is the turns ratio of the transformer?

Wind Energy
http://cenlamar.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/plan_3tiermap.jpg
The text gives (on page 407 in slightly different units) the formula:
P = 0.3*D2 V3 (W.s3/m5)
D-turbine diameter
V- wind velocitySo a 9m/s wind provides 27 times the power that a 3m/s wind provides!!

Examples.
• Estimate the size of a wind turbine designed to produce 3MW in a 15 m/s wind.

Basics of a Wind Turbine
http://www.nrel.gov/wind/animation.html
Variable pitch allows the blades to be “feathered” when the wind gets too strong. Yaw drive allows the turbine to be directed toward the wind.
