Renewable energy is naturally replenished and is derived from inexhaustible natural sources. The discipline of renewable energy primarily includes biofuel, hydropower, geothermal, solar and wind energy. Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels and provides a solution to current environmental challenges such as the clean energy issues and greenhouse effect. Rapid development and technological diversification of energy resources have resulted in economic and environmental benefits. This book attempts to foster knowledge on various renewable energy systems and components. It compiles researches on different economic strategies regarding renewable energy sources and systems. The book aims to help students, researchers and scientists.
For over 150 years, our homes, offices, and factories depended on fossil fuels as their major source of energy. As a result, we now face pollution and climate change on a global level, along with other harmful impacts. Renewable energy is only responsible for 33-34% of the global electricity supply. To move the dial on these figures, we have to create more awareness about the benefits of renewables. So, are you trying to improve awareness within your community? Here are 86 shareable quotes on renewable energy that you can use.
Renewable energy is the foundation of the ongoing energy transition. What are the key types of renewable energy, and how do they work?
This book offers a clear view of the role each form of alternative energy may play in supplying energy needs in the near future. It details the most common renewable energy sources as well as examines nuclear energy by fission and fusion energy.\nAlternative Energy Sources is designed to give the reader, a clear view of the role each form of alternative energy may play in supplying the energy needs of the human society in the near future (20-50 years). The two first chapters on energy demand and supply and environmental effects, set the tone as to why alternative energy is essential for the future. The third chapter gives the laws of energy conversion processes, as well as the limitations of converting one energy form to another. The section on exergy gives a quantitative background on the capability/potential of each energy source to produce power. The fourth, fifth and sixth chapters are expositions of fission and fusion nuclear energy, the power plants that may produce power from these sources and the issues that will frame the public debate on nuclear energy. The following five chapters include descriptions of the most common renewable energy sources (wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, hydroelectric) some of the less common sources (e.g. tidal and wave energy). The emphasis of these chapters will be on the global potential of each source, the engineering/technical systems that are used in harnessing the potential of each source, the technological developments that will contribute to wider utilization of the sources and environmental effects associated with their wider use. The last three chapters are: energy storage, which will become an important issue if renewable energy sources are used widely.The fourteen chapters in the book have been chosen so that one may fit a semester University course around this book. At the end of every chapter, there are 10-20 problems and 1-3 suggestions of semester projects that may be assigned to students for further research.
Textiles Global energy efficiency investments rose 16% YoY in 2022 06 Dec '22 3 min read Pic: Shutterstock/ jaroslava V Energy efficiency actions have accelerated globally in 2022 as governments and consumers have increasingly turned to efficiency measures as part of their responses to fuel supply disruptions and record-high energy prices. Global investments in energy efficiency have reached $560 billion in 2022, an increase of 16 per cent year-on-year (YoY). This year has been marked by several significant policy and spending announcements that point to continued efficiency investment and progress for years to come.The policies include the Inflation Reduction Act in the United States, the European Union’s REPowerEU plan, and Japan’s Green Transformation (GX) programme, which add up to hundreds of billions of dollars in spending on more efficient buildings, cars, and industries over the coming years. However, these packages—like much of energy efficiency investment more broadly—are concentrated in advanced economies, and much greater investment is needed in emerging and developing economies, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) latest market report titled ‘Energy Efficiency 2022’.Energy efficiency actions have accelerated globally in 2022 as governments and consumers have increasingly turned to efficiency measures as part of their responses to fuel supply disruptions and record-high energy prices. Global investments in energy efficiency have reached $560 billion in 2022, an increase of 16 per cent year-on-year (YoY).Preliminary data indicate that in 2022 the global economy used energy 2 per cent more efficiently than it did in 2021, a rate of improvement almost four times that of the past two years, and almost double the rate of the past five years. If the current rate of progress can be built upon further in the coming years, then 2022 could mark a vital turning point for efficiency, which is one of the key areas for international efforts to reach net zero emissions by 2050.The IEA analysis found that thanks to energy efficiency actions taken since 2000, total energy bills in IEA countries in 2022 are set to be $680 billion less than they would have been otherwise—or around 15 per cent of their total energy expenditure this year—with past investments in building insulation and efficient cars saving many consumers thousands of dollars each year.The global energy crisis sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has dramatically escalated concerns over energy security and the inflationary impact of higher energy prices on economies and people’s livelihoods around the world. The IEA report stresses that more efficient use of energy is the first and best response.“The oil shocks of the 1970s led to a massive push by governments on energy efficiency, resulting in substantial improvements in the energy efficiency of cars, appliances, and buildings,” said IEA executive director Fatih Birol. “Amid today’s energy crisis, we are seeing signs that energy efficiency is once again being prioritised. Energy efficiency is essential for dealing with today’s crisis, with its huge potential to help tackle the challenges of energy affordability, energy security, and climate change.” Fibre2Fashion News Desk (NB) More Textiles News - Global...
Advanced Concepts for Renewable Energy Supply of Data Centres introduces a number of technical solutions for the supply of power and cooling energy into Data Centres with enhanced utilisation of renewable energy sources in order to achieve low energy Data Centres.\nThe rapid increase of cloud computing, high performance computing (HPC) and the vast growth in Internet and Social Media use have aroused the interest in energy consumption and the carbon footprint of Data Centres. Data Centres primarily contain electronic equipment used for data processing (servers), data storage (storage equipment), and communications (network equipment). Collectively, this equipment processes, stores, and transmits digital information and is known as information technology (IT) equipment. Advanced Concepts for Renewable Energy Supply of Data Centres introduces a number of technical solutions for the supply of power and cooling energy into Data Centres with enhanced utilisation of renewable energy sources in order to achieve low energy Data Centres. Because of the high energy density nature of these unique infrastructures, it is essential to implement energy efficiency measures and reduce consumption before introducing any renewable energy source. A holistic approach is used with the objective of integrating many technical solutions such as management of the IT (Information Technology) load, efficient electrical supply to the IT systems, Low-Ex air-conditioning systems, interaction with district heating and cooling networks, re-use of heat, free cooling (air, seawater, groundwater), optimal use of heat and cold storage, electrical storage and integration in smart grids. This book is therefore a catalogue of advanced technical concepts that could be integrated into Data Centres portfolio in order to increase the overall efficiency and the share of renewable energies in power and cooling supply. Based on dynamic energy models implemented in TRNSYS some concepts are deeply evaluated through yearly simulations. The results of the simulation are illustrated with Sankey charts, where the energy flows per year within the subsystems of each concept for a selected scenario are shown, and graphs showing the results of parametric analysis. A set of environmental metrics (as the non-renewable primary energy) and financial metrics (CAPEX and OPEX) as well of energy efficiency metrics like the well-known PUE, are described and used to evaluate the different technical concepts.
