4 Energy Generation: Solar The total solar energy absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 3,850 zettajoules (ZJ) per year. In 2002, this was more energy in one hour than the world used in one year. Photosynthesis captures approximately 3 ZJ per year in biomass. The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the planet is so vast that in one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all of the Earth's non-renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas, and mined uranium combined.

11 Energy: Definitions and Units

12 Energy Definitions 1 Energy: The ability to do work. Power: The rate of energy usage. P( t) t de( t) An energetic person is not necessarily powerful or forceful, why? dt E( t) P( ) d E(0) 0

13 Energy Measures: Units 1 Btu ft-lbs 1055 joules=1055 watt-sec 252 calories kilowatt-hour

14 Power Measures: Units 1 hp 2545 Btu/hr 550 ft-lbs/sec cal/sec watts

15 Energy Definitions 2 Usually measure power, then integrate to get energy generated or used. Mechanically, power equals force times velocity, or torque times rotational speed, Electrically, power equals voltage x current, ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( t t T t x t F t P ) ( ) ( ) ( t I t V t P

16 Fundamental Theorems Of Electromagnetic Energy Generation

17 Ampere s Law Charge in motion, I(t), creates a magnetic flux,. (t) (t) I(t) Flux always comes out of the north pole, according to the right-hand rule.

18 Ampere s Law states that an electric current produces a magnetic field. The magnetic field curls around the current using the right-hand-rule, that is, with your right thumb pointing in the direction of the current, your fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field. I

19 Faraday s Law A changing magnetic field creates a voltage (or current). V ( t) N d( t) dt

20 Lenz Law Current is induced so as to oppose a changing magnetic field.

21 Lenz Law states that current is induced so as to oppose a changing magnetic field. I I N S N S Magnet velocity Magnet velocity Faraday s Law states that a changing magnetic field produces a voltage. For a coil with N-turns, the magnitude of the voltage is equal to the number of turns multiplied by the rate of increase or decrease of the magnetic flux inside the coil, V = -N(d/dt).

22 Lorentz Force Equation Explains forces acting on charged particles in electric and magnetic fields. F q qv F qv A charged particle moving in a magnetic field will be deflected. If the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the particle will deflect perpendicularly to the plane of the velocity and the magnetic field.

26 N S A diode is needed to prevent stored energy in the battery from driving the motor backward. (We will use this overall arrangement for the experiment.) I DC + V DC - commutator

27 Energy Storage

28 Electrical Energy Storage Two different metals and an electrolyteseparator are required for an electrochemical cell. According to Benjamin Franklin, a collection of individual cells is called a battery. Cell voltages depend on the metals involved.

31 Comparison of Various Chemistries From wikipedia, rechargeable batteries,

32 Battery Management Some newer chemistries require great effort for battery management systems (BMS) to prevent cell damage due to overcharge, overdischarge, overcurrent, overtemperature, while maintaining charge balance among the cells. Older chemistries, such as lead-acid, allow some overcharge, which works to balance the cells. We will use lead-acid cells.

36 Source to Load Matching

37 Component Matching 1 All humans have a maximum power-out point, with an individualized torque and speed. This maximum power point is easily matched to a load by having gears on a bicycle. Using gears, the human can continue to operate at the maximum power-out point for any load.

38 Component Matching 2 A DC generator is chosen to be attached to the bicycle wheel so that it will be able to provide as much power as the human can generate, assuming about 80% efficiency in the generator. From the human power vs time plot, a 300W generator should be adequate for most people.

40 Component Matching 3 The storage battery nominal voltage should be chosen in conjunction with the DC generator voltage output. If the DC generator can produce 15V out, then a single deep-cycle 12V lead-acid battery will work. The size of the battery, and thus the weight, depends on how much charge and energy you want to store.

42 Inverters Inverters are power-electronic devices that convert DC to AC. Many families presently have these in their automobiles. These devices convert 12V DC to 120 Vrms AC. The power rating of the device determines its size and cost.

43 Component Matching 4 The inverter should be chosen so that its input voltage matches that of the storage battery. Fortunately, most inverters are designed to operate at about 12V in order to function with standard lead-acid batteries.

44 Matching Battery to Inverter to Load When attaching devices to the 120V AC inverter output, it is important that the power rating of the inverter not be exceeded. Many inverters have some overcurrent (overpower) protection, but users should do a power calculation before attaching the AC loads.
