Pecen University of Northern Iowa dtech/eiet Source: Office of Science and Technology Policy, Oct 97 NY Times, Dec 16, 2006 by Mark Landler: Two new studies one that says the Alps are the warmest they have been in 1,250 years. Climatologists, say the warming trend will become dramatic by The new studies are alarming, suggesting that the Alps & Himalayas are warming twice as fast as the average in the rest of the world. In 1980, 75 % of Alpine glaciers were advancing; now, 90 % are retreating. An 1870 postcard view of the Rhone glacier in Gletsch, Switzerland, contrasted dramatically with the shrinking 21st-century version of it. This year was a terrible year for the glaciers, said Max Maisch, an expert on the topic at the University of Zurich. July was very hot, though August was cool; but September was the warmest in 140 years. Many glaciers are collapsing on the edges. The New York Times October 24,
4 Glaciers in the Himalayas are retreating at a rate of 33 to 49 feet each year Billions of people in China and the Indian subcontinent rely on South Asia's Himalayan glaciers - the world's largest store of fresh water outside the polar ice caps. The massive ice floes feed seven of the world's greatest Asian rivers in one of the world's most densely populated regions. Scientists say the glaciers in the Himalayas are retreating at a rate of about 33 to 49 feet each year - faster than in any other part of the world. In the Himalayas, the Gangotri Glacier, which forms a mass of ice about 18 miles long, is retreating at a rate of more than 100 feet a year. Jan 16, 2007 Warming of Greenland: Greenland melts QUICKLY! Greenland is covered by 630,000 cubic miles of ice, enough water to raise global sea levels by 23 feet (7 meters). Carl Egede Boggild, a prof. of snow-and-ice physics at the Univ. Center of Svalbard, said Greenland could be losing more than 80 cubic miles of ice per year. A peninsula long thought to be part of Greenland's mainland turned out to be an island when a glacier retreated. We are already in a new era of geography, said the Arctic explorer Will Steger. This phenomenon of an island all of a sudden appearing out of nowhere and the ice melting around it is a real common phenomenon now.

Arctic ice is melting so fast that, for the first time in human history, you can sail straight through the Arctic! Imagine the sea rising around you as your country literally disappears beneath your feet, where the food you grow and the water you drink is being destroyed by salt, and your last chance is to seek refuge in other lands where climate refugees have no official status. This is not a dream, it's the fearful reality for millions of people who live on islands around the world, from the Maldives to Papua New Guinea. Coal Combustion! Today 52% of the capacity for generating electricity in the US is fueled by coal (57 % in IA) Coal combustion produces CO 2 and other greenhouse gases that are suspected to cause climatic warming, and it is a source of sulfur oxides (SO 2 ) & (NO 2 ), which are harmful to human health & may be largely responsible for acid rain. Although not as well known, releases from coal combustion coal ashes contain naturally occurring radioactive materials uranium & thorium. 52% of the capacity for generating electrical power in the US is fueled by coal. Skin Lesions caused by exposure to Arsenic caused by coal combustion in China. Coal ash is composed primarily of oxides of silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, titanium, sodium, potassium, arsenic, mercury, and sulfur plus small quantities of uranium & thorium. Radiation Doses due to Coal Combustion! US & world release of Uranium & Thorium from coal combustion risen since early 20 th century. Americans living near coal-fired power plants are exposed to higher radiation doses than those living near nuclear power plants that meet government regulations! Large quantities of uranium, thorium & other radioactive species in coal ash are not being treated as radioactive waste. 5
6 Radioactivity from Coal Combustion! According to National Council on Radiation Protection & Measurement, the ave radioactivity per ton of coal is 4.27 microcuries/ton. Population exposure from operation of 1000MW 490-rem/year for coal plants 4.8 -rem/year for nuclear plants: Sonuc: Komurle calisan santrallerin, nukleer enerji ile calisan santraller gore insanlara yaptigi radyasyon etkisi 100 kat daha fazla!

Dirty Secret: Coal Plants Could Be Much Cleaner: IGCC Power Plants One of the most advanced - and cleanest - coal power plants in the world is Tampa Electric's Polk Power Station in Florida. Rather than burning coal, it turns coal into a gas that can be cleaned of almost all pollutants. Tampa Electric's (10% more efficient) Polk Station, where coal is turned into a relatively clean gas to burn for electricity. Because regulators require utilities to use the lowest-cost alternatives, this more expensive plant is the only one of its kind. Finite supply of fossil fuels Lack of substitutes Environmental concerns and clean air issues Foreign oil and energy independency Good for economy, new job opportunities on manufacturing, operation, management areas.

12 Issues. (Sources: IEA Wind Task25; Holtinnen (2007) Electrical Power generated through Solar Cells/Modules Very similar to classical p-n junction diode; when light (ext. force!) is absorbed by junction, energy of the absorbed photons is transferred to electron system of the material, resulting forming of separated charge carriers PV Arrays and Systems Photovoltaic (PV) & Solar Power Generation PV cells, known commonly as solar cells, convert the energy from sunlight into DC electricity, which can be used as is or converted into AC. No noise and require practically min maintenance. 12
13 Several PV CELLS make a MODULE and several modules make an ARRAY Passive Solar This sample greenhouse (Chicago center for Green Tech) located behind the building, is a passive solar greenhouse. The back wall of the greenhouse is made from cinder blocks that absorb and store heat. Most greenhouses need an additional source of heat to maintain the warm temperature at night. 13
14 November 2002 The U.S. Navy installed the largest (750kW) federal solar power system in 2002 Naval Base Coronado, in San Diego. 750-kW system generates enough electricity during the day to power 935 homes. PV panels also form a half-mile-long covered parking in the naval base's parking lot, also providing shading for more than 400 vehicles. Actual peak capacity of 924 kw, but the system connecting PVs to the grid produces only 750 kw. System converts the DC from the PVs into 3-phase, 12kV power that is fed into the Navy's AC power system. Large PV Projects on University Campuses are becoming common Feb 20, 2003 Cal State Northridge completed installation of 3,000 PV panels To save the university $50,000 a year in electricity costs, and is thought to be one of the largest at an American public university generating 225kW. Peak production achieved precisely when it is needed most in Southern CA - between one 1-5 pm on hot summer afternoons. The power is fed directly into the AC grid serving the 353-acre campus, located in LA s San Fernando Valley, CO 2 emissions by an amount equal to that emitted by 36 average passenger cars driving 20,000 miles per year.

The project, known as the Solar Tunnel, is the first of its kind in Europe as it is the first time railway infrastructure has been used to generate green energy. The solar energy used in the Antwerp North-South junction by the trains and station servicing both conventional and high-speed trains. The installation on the roof of the HSL4 (high-speed line Antwerp - Amsterdam) rail tunnel in Antwerp covers a total surface area of 50,000 square meters, about the size of 8 football pitches. The solar energy is used to power the railway infrastructure (signaling, lighting, heating of railway stations etc.,) and also the trains using the Belgian rail network. The installation generates an estimated 3300 MWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the average annual electricity consumption of nearly 1,000 homes, and Solar tunnels like this one in decrease CO 2 emissions by 2,400 tons per year. Antwerp, Belgium can drive highspeed electric trains with zero emissions. Photo: Enfinity Dr. R.

24 From U.S. Dept of Commerce Turkiye Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Trade Mission December 5 9, 2011 Ankara Istanbul Izmir Turkiye s renewable energy investments are expected to exceed $20Billion during next 5 years! Turkiye has large wind energy potential project developments: 10,000 MW by 2015 and 20,000 MW by 2023! Number 2 geothermal energy development potential in Europe and 5 th in the world. Number 2 in Europe in Solar Energy Potential. A new Renewable Energy Law passed on December 12, 2010 and increased guaranteed prices for different renewable energy resources. Additional incentives provided for parts to be manufactured locally. 10 years Power Purchase Guarantee. Energy Efficiency Law in place. Turkish Government is encouraging U.S. Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) to cooperate with Turkish ESCOs. U.S. Department of Energy is leading a pilot project to develop 20 Energy Efficiency Projects in Izmir Ataturk Industrial Zone. BIPV: Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic In 2008: The overall electric production of Turkey reached 198,2 billion kwh 49,7 % of the produced electric energy was acquired from natural gas, 16.8% from hydro, 29% from coal, 3.8% from fuel oil. Around 2/3 of energy requirement of Turkey is covered by import which may cause unexpected problems to be confronted in achieving its sustainable development targets It is required to use alternative energy sources to procure the required energy in a way to reduce external dependence. 24
25 The established electric capacity of Turkiye increases in time. Distribution of Turkey s Established Electric Power Production To fuel a rapidly growing economy, the country s electricity consumption is increasing by an average of 8-9% every year. And significant investments are needed in generation, transmission and distribution facilities to balance the power system s supply and demand. TOTAL INSTALLED CAPACITY Year MW ,329 Source Global Wind Energy Council T.C. AKP Hukumeti nin Ruzgar Gullerine Destegi artarak devam ediyor. In 2010, 528 MW of new wind energy capacity was added in Turkey, bringing the total up to 1,329 MW. (Yillik 66% lik bir buyume!) According to TEIAS (the state-owned transmission company and system operator) it is projected that up to MW of wind projects might be added in Installed wind capacity is expected to grow at between 500-1,000 MW per year reaching more than 5,000 MW by Turkiye hopes to install up to 20,000 MW by 2023, helping the country to source 30% of its electricity generation from renewable sources by that date. In order to reach this target, however, the transmission infrastructure will require substantial upgrades to allow such large scale developments to be connected to the power grid. This issue will need to be addressed in the near future. In order to boost the uptake of renewable energy, in May 2005 the Turkish government enacted its first Renewable Energy Law, which introduced tariff support for electricity produced by renewable sources. In May 2007 a revision of the law increased the tariff slightly to ct/kwh for a period of 10 years, and in a 2010 amendment, this was converted to USD 7.3 cent/kwh. An economic RES investment requires wind speed of at least 7 m/s (Çalışkan, 2010, 11).
