3. What Clean Energy Technology is
CET
is creating Energy with smaller environmental footprint and
minimizing pollution.
includes recycling, renewable energy (WindPower,
SolarPower, Biomass, Hydropower, Biofuels),
GreenTransportation, Electric motors, lighting and many
other appliances that are now more energy efficient.

4. Clean Energy Technologies
• Renewable Energy: Is defined as energy that comes from
resources which are continually replenished on a human
timescale such as Sunlight, Wind, Rain, Tides. Waves.
• Recycling: is a process to change waste into new products to
prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the
consumption of fresh raw materials, reduces energy usage,
reduce air pollution and water pollution (from land filling)by
reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower
greenhouse gas emission.

5. Clean Energy Technologies….cont
• Green Transportation: This can be refer to when
transportation is sustainable which are largely being measured
by effectiveness and efficiency of any transportation system as
well as the environmental impact of the system.
• Lighting: This is the use of both natural and artificial light
sources like lamps and light fixtures for illumination by
capturing daylight (using windows, skylights, or light shelves)
which are sometimes used as the main source of light during
daytime in buildings

8. Climate Change /Global Warming
• Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the
statistical distribution of weather patterns over time. It may be a
change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of
weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer
extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors
such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received
by Earth
Global Warming is the rise in the average
temperature of Earth's atmosphere and
oceans caused by increasing concentration
of greenhouse gases produced by human
activities such as burning of fossil fuel.

12. Energy Efficiency and Monitoring
•
Energy Efficiency is "using less energy to provide the
same service“
• For example : Replacing an incandescent lamp with a
compact fluorescent lamp (which uses much less energy
to produce the same amount of light) is energy
efficiency.

14. Energy Monitoring
• Hardware and software that connects to your energy
resources to provide a defined baseline of energy
consumption.
• Knowing is the start – you need to see what your energy
usage is as a starting point.
– However, Being green is not just a marketing strategy, it’s a necessity to be efficient and
reduce operating expenses
Three monitoring technologies:
a) Guessed/Estimated – Good
but not accurate. Could be off
by as much as 20% for
lighting and not loads.
b) Current Measurement Only
c) Power Measurement

15. Power Measurement- Best
• Samples real voltage and real current at high
frequencies
• Compensates for phase offsets
• Doesn’t get fooled by voltage drops or non-linear current
scaling
• Expensive
• Measured by a dedicated device: GLS-EM-MCU
• Most accurate option for measurement
• Errors can be smaller than 1%
• Useful for measuring ANY electrical load

16. What are the steps involved
• Metering your energy consumption and collecting the data by
using an energy monitoring software.
• Uncover places to save energy - such as making upgrades or
replacing inefficient equipment
• Putting into place energy saving functions – such as demand
response settings or eliminating wasted energy in unoccupied
spaces
• Tracking progress by analyzing the real-time data and
comparing with historical information to what these efforts are
actually achieving.

17. Bringing it all together: Monitor,
Manage AND Control

18. Conclusion- NOW is time to act!
