Water pumping based on wind turbine generation system.Adel Khinech
The amount of energy extracted from renewable resources, and specially from wind, is considered today as a competitive and necessary alternative to fossil resources. The use of wind energy has grown during the last few years, this has led to an increase of research and development of larger and effective wind turbines in order to offer renewable energy to the customers. The aim of this work is to interpret wind turbines control techniques, and develop a conversion system connected to a water pump.

SPU 25 Energy and Climate: Vision for the Future, Spring 2018
Homework Set #1 Climate Basics, DUE Monday 2/12 (1:00 pm in lecture)
Name: _____________________________________ Section: __________ TF: _____________________ Score: ______/_______
Collaborators: _________________________________________________________________________________________________
Earth’s climate is a complex reflection of the distribution and movement of energy around the planet. The
primary source of Earth’s energy is radiation from the Sun. In this problem set, you will see how this energy is
received, lost, and stored, and the role of greenhouse gases in altering the climate. You will also understand
how the distribution of energy influences climate and get some practice with basic quantitative problems and
unit conversions. (40 points total)
You will only receive credit if you show all your work and write legibly.
I. Earth’s Energy Balance
Planet Earth (including the solid earth, oceans, and atmosphere) is best described as an isolated system:
energy, but not mass, can pass from Earth to space and vice versa. In this type of system, the energy balance
may be described by: Energy gained = Energy lost – change in storage.
1. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere prevent the radiation of energy to space, so they impact which
term in the above equation? (1 point)
2. Changing surface and ocean temperatures reflect which term in the above equation? (1 point)

calculate the total rate at which solar energy is intercepted by the Earth. Report your answer in
Watts. Recall that the area of a circle is πr2. (2 points)
Figure 1. The shadow formed by an
illuminated sphere has a circular
shape with a radius R equal to the
radius of the sphere.

b. Assuming that the energy from the Sun is eventually distributed equally over the entire surface
area of the Earth, use your answer from part (a) to calculate the current average rate of
incoming solar radiation. Express your answer in Watts per meter squared. Recall that the
surface area of a sphere is 4πr2. (3 points)
III. The fate of energy from the Sun
5. Based on your answers from the previous problem and assuming a global average albedo of 0.3, how
much of the incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space? How much is absorbed? Express
your answers in Watts per meter squared. (2 points)
6. Much of the energy absorbed at the Earth’s surface is used for evaporation. The energy involved in
changing the phase of water is c ...
