1 Introduction to Non- Conventional Energy Systems Dr.L.Umanand L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 1
2 Why Fossil Fuel Base? Applications need concentrated energy i.e. high energy densities. Extraction, storage, distribution and service infrastructure is well established and stable Large scale production results in affordable running cost. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 2
3 Why fossil fuel base? Fuel Wh/kg density Kg/m 3 Wh/m 3 Wh/lt. 1 Gasoline ~ Natural Gas 9350 ~ Methanol Kerosene Coal Battery (lead- acid) Flywheel Solar thermal** /day 0.9/day 10 Solar PV* /day 0.5/day *Efficiency is assumed as 10% and 1m height is required for installation with appropriate inclination. **Efficiency is assumed as 18% and 1m height is required for installation with appropriate inclination. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 3
4 Why fossil fuel base? COSTS Cost of petrol Rs.40/lt > Rs.4.27/KWh Cost of kerosene Rs.15/lt > Rs.1.4/KWh Cost of PV Rs.200/W > Rs.40000/KWh of capital investment L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 4
5 Why fossil fuel base? Petrol/diesel fuel stations infrastructure is available LPG gas is distributed at your doorstep LPG and CNG service infrastructure is also well established Customer need not bother about storage and service infrastructure costs. Payment is only for running cost of fuel. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 5
6 Then why move away from fossil fuel base? Depletion of fossil fuels Environmental hazards Health hazards Life Cycle costs versus running costs L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 6
7 How long will fossil fuel last? Let the earth be made of a thin shell that is filled entirely with fossil fuels. Consider the earth as a sphere of radius R= kms. This amounts to about 1.1x10 21 m 3 of fossil fuel. take the average energy density of fossil fuel to be about 10000Wh/lt or KWh/m 3 (refer table on energy densities slide 03) L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 7
8 How long will fossil fuel last? the amount of stored energy within the earth is 1.1x10 25 KWh The current annual world energy consumption is about 55x10 12 KWh Considering a 7% growth in energy consumption annually L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 8
9 How long will fossil fuel last? in 372 years with an annual energy consumption growth rate of 7%, all the fossil fuel is emptied within the earth even though we started with earth being full of fossil fuel. However, earth is not composed fully of fossil fuel. Only a fraction of its volume is stored as fossil fuel. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/2004 9
10 How long will fossil fuel last? The pinnacle of fossil fuel usage is passed. Its usage will now decay exponential and in the next 100 years will gradually die. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
11 So now a Paradigm shift Concentrated usage of energy to Distributed usage of energy L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
12 A case for enviroment..rush hour pictures. 1. Majestic railway station 2. MGRoad 3. Shivajinagar bus station L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
13 A case for enviroment Green house effects Climate change Depletion of stratospheric ozone layer L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
14 Green house effect Green house gases carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, chloro fluoro carbons. Green house gases are the temperature stabilisers of the earth s atmosphere. Temperature stabilisation is by trapping radiated heat from the earth s surface by these green house gases. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
15 Global warming Due to emissions from the fossil fuel based systems, the green house gases in the atmosphere increases. As a result, the average temperature of the earth is becoming higher. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
16 Effects of Global warming changes in rainfall patterns rise in sea level impacts on flora and fauna impacts on human health L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
17 Health is an issue! CO poisoning. Asthma. Skin diseases and cancer due to depletion of stratospheric ozone. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
18 Cost in the long run Life cycle costing gives more realistic estimates. This gives a much better correlation of cost to energy used. L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
19 What are the alternatives? Nuclear fuel is it viable? What are its implications? Then what? L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
20 Non-conventional fuel base Muscular Solar thermal Solar PV Wind Hydro Biomass Wave Hybrids L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
21 Scope for alternative energies 75% of energy comes from fossil fuels such as crude oils, coal and natural gas 12% from bio fuels such as methane 9% from hydro based 3% from nuclear 1% from windmills and photovoltaic put together Scope to increase L. Umanand NCES/M1/V1/
