First steps into renewable energies Subchapter 1.1 - The renewable resources: sun, wind, biomass Hector Beltran San Segundo Universitat Jaume I de Castelló, Spain Summary: To start the course, we will initially focus on the nature and characteristics of three natural and renewable resources: the sun, the wind, and the biomass. Although basically the three of them are obtained from the sun (solar rays themselves, movements of air caused by the heat of the sun, and energy to grow plants) their characteristics differ substantially from each other and this strongly defines the technology used to make them profitable. Introduction Renewable energy resources are defined as those materials, substances, or natural phenomena that are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, rivers, woods, geothermal heat…. These resources are often used to provide energy in four important areas of our society: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services. Their biggest advantage with regard to conventional or traditional energy resources (oil, coal, natural gas) is that the latter present limited reserves that will be over in a given period of time while renewables are replenished periodically. To get an idea of the differences in the availability of resources humanity possesses nowadays, Figure 1 presents a comparison among the estimated conventional energy resource reserves versus the renewable energy resources annual potential.

"The European Commission support for the production of this publication does not constitute an endorsement of the contents which reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein." 1 Renewable energy for local development course Also in contrast with conventional resources, which are concentrated in a limited number of countries, renewable ones are present all around the world. The possibility to profit them in a commercial way opens the door to energetic independence or energy security for many countries, as well as cooperates with the climate change mitigation. So much that the international public opinion shows a strong support for promoting renewable projects and many countries already enjoy an important presence of these technologies in their energy mix. All in all, renewables already represented a 16,7% of the global energy consumption in 2010, Figure 2. Figure 2. Total world energy consumption by source 2010, from REN21 Renewables 2012 Global Status Report. At the national level, at least 30 nations around the world already have renewable energy contributing to more than 20 percent of their energy supply. National renewable energy markets are projected to continue to grow strongly in the coming decade and beyond. In fact, note how some regions (mainly islands) and at least two countries (Iceland and Norway) generate all their electricity using renewable energy already. Many other countries have set a goal to reach 100% renewable energy in the coming future. For example, the Danish government decided to switch the total energy supply (electricity, mobility and heating/cooling) to 100% renewable energy by 2050. Germany is also on the way. And, in general, all the countries in the European Union present this trend given that they have the overall goal of achieving the 20% target of renewables in 2020. While many renewable energy projects are large-scale, renewable technologies are also suited to rural and remote areas and developing countries, where energy is often

    12/09/2008· - Eldorado Valley solar facility nears completion - VIEW NEWS: A Neighbo... Page 1 of3 '-:1~~.ens (!§j PRINTTHIS DATE~}.!~ ~ Group Powered by fi Oic:kability REeD ItA! II. Eldorado Valley solar facility nears completion Project developers hope to have center producing power by year's end By FRED COUZENS VIEW STAFF WRITER Workers at the EI Dorado Energy Solar Expansion Project in Eldorado Valley started testing North America's largest thin-film photovoltaic solar power plant earlier this month in hopes of having it online producing electricity by the end of the year. The solar facility started construction in late July and took only three months, from late August to late November, to install 22,320 steel posts, 127 miles of solar panel support rails, 286 miles of cabling and 167,400 modules, or solar panels, that when assembled end-to-end resemble row of crops in a field. "We put them in like it was an assembly-line production," Project Manager Tony Perrino said. "We started in the far southeast comer and worked our way to the north. When you put in 4,000 modules a day, it goes quick." Whereas construction employment totaled about 110 when the installation process was in full swing, the facility will need only one person for monitoring and rninimalrnaintenance purposes when it becomes fully operational. Since the key to energy production is in the technological sophistication of the module itself, the ground installation is fairly simple, Perrino said. The steps are setting the posts, adding the brackets that keep the solar panels at a constant 30-degree angle, attaching the support brackets, setting the 27-pound modules in place, wiring up the panels with cable leading to an inverter that changes DC, or direct current, to AC, or alternating current, and sending it on to the power substation that links a transmission line to the end user.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4596 & Print ISSN: 0975-5861 Photovoltaic Power Stations (PVPS) By Mohamed A. Darwish, Hassan K. Abdulrahim & Adel O. Sharif Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI), Qatar Abstract- Qatar declared that by 2020 solar energy would produce at least 2% of its total generated electric power (EP). The known solar power plants EP at utility scale level are concentrating solar power (using parabolic trough collectors, linear Fresnel collector, and solar tower), photovoltaic (PV), and integrated solar combined cycle using fossil fuel (natural gas) besides solar collectors. EP generation by PV is reliable, clean, well proven, and matured technology, with 25 years warranties on solar panels. PV is the direct conversion of solar radiation (sunlight) into direct electric current by semiconductors that exhibit PV effect. The PV can be applied to large scale power plants called photovoltaic power station or solar parks. A solar park is connected to the grid, and thus supplies its bulk produced EP to this grid. Transfer solar energy directly to EP is achieved without using moving parts means very low maintenance and operation requirements. Once a solar park is installed (with relatively high cost compared to conventional power plat such as combined cycle), the operating costs with no fuel supply are extremely low compared to conventional power plants. This paper presents the technology and economics of the PV power station. It outlines the main components of the PV power plants including the solar PV modules, module mounting and tracking systems, inverters (or converters), and step-up transformers.
