Why do I need to be concerned

about global energy problems?

The use and cost of energy affects each of us every day of our

lives. Many issues arise from the use of energy:

greenhouse gas emissions

acid rain

climate change

dependency on depleting supplies of fossil fuels

ENERGY DATA

INDIA Generation capacity (MW) Percentage (%)

COAL 68,434 55.5

NATURAL GAS 12,430 10.0

OIL 1,201 0.9

Electricity consumption in India has shown

consistent growth in recent years.

Access to electricity supplies in rural areas of India is still relatively

low, with 74% of villages (439,000 of the Indian total 594,000)

having electricity

Electricity related pollution that is

being produced around the world

� The world produced a combined 19,020,000 gigawatt hours of electricity in 2007.

� Power stations produce nearly 10 billion tons of CO 2 per year and are the planet's

most concentrated source of greenhouse gases.

� Global CO2 emissions in 2004 were 27,245,758 thousand metric tons.

� In 2007, global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel use and cement

production increased by 3.1%

India

� In 2007 India had a net energy production of 665,300,000,000 kilowatt hours.

� In 2004 India produced 1.34 billion metric tons of CO2.

� India's population is 1.21 billion as of 2011.



Effects of CO2

emission:

� Sea level rise

� Impacts on agriculture

� Reduction of the ozone layer

� Increased extreme weather

� Spread of diseases

� Ecosystem change



What is ECOTRICITY ?how it is related to climate change and energy

conservation?

ECOTRICITY is an energy efficient city, which facilitate deployment of energy

efficient buildings, transport, and energy supply technologies in city design,

by developing quantifiable, system-level models that assess their feasibility

and implementation in the wider context of socio-economic, physical, andregulatory characteristics of the city.



ECOTRICITY Initiative:

� City planning and design

� Buildings

� Transport

� Energy supply



CITY PLANNING AND DESIGN

Climate-Sensitive Urban Design and Architecture



Solar Park

� Commercial Solar power plants with

with a focus built in urban area

� Solar parks uses thin-film

photovoltaic (PV) power system.

� Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts

one form of energy (sunlight) into another

form of energy (electricity)using nomoving parts, consuming no

conventional fossil fuels, creating no

pollution, and lasting for decades with

very little maintenance.



Solar Tree

� The Solar Tree has (PV) solar panels arrayed at the top of its branches to

generate energy from the sun.



Solar Street



PV Panels

� PV materials are categorized as either crystalline or thin film, and they are judged on

two basic factors: efficiency and economics.

� PV panels tend to work much better in cold weather than in hot climates .

� Array currents up to 20% greater than the specified output.

� T hin-film technologies include amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper-indium

diselenide, and others.

� the cost of these panels appears attractive at first, it is important to note that the

efficiencies are comparatively low.



BUILDINGS

Skyscrapers equipped

with wind power turbines

� The two towers are linked via three sky bridges, each holding a 225KW wind turbine, totaling to

675kW of wind power production

� The sail-shaped buildings on either side are designed to funnel wind through the gap to provideaccelerated wind passing through the turbines.

� The wind turbines are expected to provide 11% to 15% of the towers' total power consumption, or

approximately 1.1 to 1.3 GWh a year.

� They are expected to operate 50% of the time on an average day.



Dynamic Skyscraper

� Dynamic Architecture¶s wind powered rotating skyscraper.

� The main idea behind their concept involves a central concrete core surrounded by 59

independently rotating levels.

� The skyscraper would generate its own electricity from the massive horizontal wind turbines that

would be stacked in between each floor.

� E ach turbine can produce 0.3 megawatt of electricity, compared to 1-1.5 megawatt generated by

a normal vertical turbine (windmill).



ZEH (Zero Energy Home)

A ZEH (Zero Energy Home) is apopular term to describe a buildings

use with zero net energy consumption

and zero carbon emissions annually.

Hybrid Solar Lighting

� Using sunlight to light the homes.



Conceptual illustration of a hybrid solar

lighting system.

� The hybrid solar lighting systemuses a roof-mounted solar collector to concentrate visiblesunlight into a bundle of plasticoptical fibers.

� One collector powers abouteight fluorescent hybrid lightfixtures, which can illuminateabout 1000 square feet.

�

During times of little or nosunlight, a sensor controls theintensity of the artificial lamps tomaintain a desired illuminationlevel.



TRANSPORT

Research in the transport module will extend bottom-up models of current

and possible future ground transport technology with the aim of estimating:

� Energy use and emissions

� Embodied energy and environmental impacts (climate and air quality)

� Capital and operating costs



Maglev Transport

� Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation), is a

system of transportation that suspends, guides

and propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using

magnetic levitation from a very large number of

magnets for lift and propulsion.

� The power needed for levitation is usually not a

particularly large percentage of the overallconsumption; most of the power used is needed

to overcome air drag, as with any other high

speed train.

� New transportation mode has occurred that can

clearly compete with planes in both speed and

safety. They are called M AGLEV trains. The full

form and the basic working principle of M AGLEV

is called magnetic levitation.



Magnetic Levitation

� The principle of magnetic levitation is that a vehicle can be suspended and propelled

on a guidance track made with magnets.

� The vehicle on top of the track may be propelled with the help of a linear induction

motor.

� Although the vehicle does not use steel wheels on a steel rail they are still referred to

as trains as by definition they are a long chain of vehicles which travel in the same

direction.

� The track along which the train moves is called the guide way. Both the guide way as

well as the train¶s undercarriage also have magnets which repel each other. Thus the

train is said to levitate about 0.39 inches on top of the guide way.



Solar Road Ways

� The Solar Roadway is a series of structurally-engineered

solar panels that are driven upon. The idea is to replace allcurrent petroleum-based asphalt roads, parking lots, and

driveways with Solar Road Panels that collect energy to be

used by our homes and businesses.



Piezo Electric systems for green

environment

� Piezoelectricity is based around the

ability of some materials, notably

crystals and certain ceramics, to

generate electrical field in response to

applied mechanical stress.

Fuel cell vehicle

� A fuel cell is a chemical engine that produces electricityfrom hydrogen, emitting only water vapor.

� The electricity produced is used for driving a vehicle with anelectric motor.

� The hydrogen fuel can be produced in various ways, butcurrently the most viable method is steam reforming of fossil fuels using a nickel catalyst.



Energy Supply

Technologies investigated in this remit willinclude:

� Solar fusion.

� Geothermal systems, including ground source heat pumps integrated with

building foundations (also known as energy piles).

� Combined heat and power (CHP) systems - especially those that run on

alternative biofuels. In addition to district heating, the viability of emerging

micro-CHP for domestic applications will also be assessed.



SOLAR FUSION

� The Sun is the Power House for the entire Solar System. It is a fairly typical star that is not burning, but

is fusing together Hydrogen to form Helium. In so

doing, it releases energy in vast quantities. The process

that powers the Sun is called nuclear fusion.

� The fuels needed to create a nuclear fusion reaction²the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium²are

abundant in seawater and thus are virtually limitless.

And there are no harmful byproducts of the reaction: no

radioactive, toxic wastes to dispose of.

� Fusion power is a clean, renewable energy source with

the potential to dramatically change how we generate

electricity.



CONCLUSIONThe Green kind ± energy which won¶t run out or pollute ± from the

Wind, the Sun and the Sea. We have coastline from which toharness the Sea, some Wind energy and, though it doesn¶t always

seem so, we even have the Sun.

The Way it is Now The Way it Could Be



Ecotricity is the future of the mankind in

building healthier and energy efficient

planet.
