Urban Energy Projects
• Renewable Energy Sources – Solar energy– Biomass Energy – Wind Energy – Geothermal Energy– Hydro Power and Ocean Energy – Ethanol– Biodiesel
Urban Energy Projects
• Renewables : Possible applications
Solar Energy : Thermal Energy
Heating watersHeating spaces
Electrical Energy PV –not connected to grid Solar Power Plants – fluid is heated to
produce steam to powergenerators
Urban Energy Projects
• Renewables : Possible applications Wind applications
Wind Energy : used to generate electricity
-Power singles homes or business capacity of less than 100kw
-Large commercial sized turbines – 5MGW Wind Farms – cluster of large turbines that provide
electricity to electrical grid
Urban Energy Projects
• Renewables : Possible applications Biomass
Biomass –organic material made from plants and animals, contains
stored energy from the sun
- can be burned to release energy -can be converted to :
-methane gas-transportation fuels like
ethanol , biodiesel
