Power and Energy
• Energy = Power x Time
• Energy (E) is the ability to do work.
• Power (P) is the rate at which work is performed.
• Analogies: Energy is a measurable quantity like distance. Power
is a rate like speed.

* The system used in the U.S. is not the same as that used in other countries
(like Great Britain, France, and Germany). In these other countries, a billion (bi
meaning two) has twice as many zeros as a million, and a trillion (tri meaning
three) has three times as many zeros as a million, etc. But the scientific
community seems to use the American system.

Energy Units
• Calorie, Joule, BTU, Fuel equivalent, watt-hour
• 1 cal = 4.184 J
• 1 BTU = 1055 J
• 1 unit of electricity = 1 kWh
• The tonne of oil equivalent (toe) is a unit of energy: the
amount of energy released by burning one tonne of crude oil,
equals 42.6 GJ

Units Conversion - example problem
• If you turn on 4 light bulbs, each rated at 40 W, how long can
they be on before you reach 1 kWh?
4 bulbs x 40W/bulb = 160 W
E=P x t => t=E/P = 1 kWh/160W = 1kWh/0.16 W = 6.25 h

Classification of Energy Sources
• Primary and secondary energy
– Primary energy sources are those that are either found or stored in
nature (coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, nuclear, geothermal, wind,
solar, etc.)
– Secondary energy sources such as steam and electricity are
obtained from conversion of primary energy sources in industrial
utilities.
• Commercial and non-commercial energy
– Commercial energy: the sources that are available in the market for
a definite price (electricity, lignite, coal, oil, etc.)
– Non commercial energy: firewood, cattle-dung, agricultural wastes,
etc.
• Renewable and non-renewable energy

Coal
• Readily combustible material, black or brownish-black material
• Coal was formed from layer upon layer of annual plant remains
accumulating slowly that were protected from biodegradation by
usually acidic covering waters that gave a natural antiseptic
effect combating microorganisms and then later mud deposits
protecting against oxidization
• Coal, a fossil fuel, is the largest source of energy for the
generation of electricity worldwide, as well as one of the largest
worldwide anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide emissions
• Approximately 40% of the world electricity production uses coal

Stages in Formation of Coal
• Heavy growth of vegetation
• Burial of debris, and compression
• There are four stages in coal formation: peat, lignite, bituminous
and anthracite. The stage depends upon the conditions to which
the plant remains are subjected after they were buried - the
greater the pressure and heat, the higher the rank of coal.
Higher-ranking coal is denser and contains less moisture and
gases and has a higher heat value than lower-ranking coal.

Types of Coal
• Peat – a precursor of coal
• Lignite – brown coal, the lowest rank of coal, exclusively used for
electricity generation
• Sub-bituminous coal – used as fuel for electricity generation,
synthesis of light aromatic hydrocarbons
• Bituminous – fuel for electricity, coke
• Anthracite – residential and commercial space heating
• Graphite – difficult to ignite, used for producing lubricants

Carrying Capacity
Carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals (humans, for
example) that can be sustained indefinitely by an ecosystem without
causing irreparable damage.
One way to gauge Earths carrying capacity and our impact on our
ecosystem is to look at our ecological footprint, a measure of our
demands on nature.

Sustainability
The word is often bantered about with little thought to its concrete
connotation.
Sustainable energy solutions must consider the earth and its
inhabitants.
Sustainable energy is the sustainable provision of energy that meets
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs.
Sustainable energy is replenishable within a human lifetime and
causes no long-term damage to the environment.
Technologies that promote sustainable energy include renewable
energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy,
wave power, geothermal energy, and tidal power, and also
technologies designed to improve energy efficiency.

Energy Basics Energy, Technology and Sustanability
Key Benefits of Sustainable Energy
Environmental: it can avoid and reduce air emissions as well as water
consumption, waste, noise and adverse land use impacts
Energy for future generations: Renewables avoid the rapid depletion
of fossil fuel reserves and will empower future generations to deal with
the environmental impact over-dependence on fossil fuels
Energy security lessons our dependence on fossil and imported fuels.

Coal • Readily combustible material, black or brownish-black material • Coal was formed from layer upon layer of annual plant remains accumulating slowly that were protected from biodegradation by usually acidic covering waters that gave a natural antiseptic effect combating microorganisms and then later mud deposits protecting against oxidization • Coal, a fossil fuel, is the largest source of energy for the generation of electricity worldwide, as well as one of the largest worldwide anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide emissions • Approximately 40% of the world electricity production uses coal 08-Oct-2015 Taye Z 28
  • 30. Stages in Formation of Coal • Heavy growth of vegetation • Burial of debris, and compression • There are four stages in coal formation: peat, lignite, bituminous and anthracite. The stage depends upon the conditions to which the plant remains are subjected after they were buried - the greater the pressure and heat, the higher the rank of coal. Higher-ranking coal is denser and contains less moisture and gases and has a higher heat value than lower-ranking coal. 08- Oct-2015 Taye Z 30

  • 42. Energy Basics Energy, Technology and Sustanability Sustainability The word is often bantered about with little thought to its concrete connotation. Sustainable energy solutions must consider the earth and its inhabitants. Sustainable energy is the sustainable provision of energy that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainable energy is replenishable within a human lifetime and causes no long-term damage to the environment. Technologies that promote sustainable energy include renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind energy, wave power, geothermal energy, and tidal power, and also technologies designed to improve energy efficiency.
