Lightning applications
Lightning data provides valuable information to support decision making for several user groups at airports. This document discusses how lightning detection is used for thunderstorm and cloud type reporting, thunderstorm avoidance in terminal approach areas, and low level wind shear awareness. It also covers using lightning warnings for airport ground operations. While lightning bolts contain a large amount of energy, successfully capturing and storing that energy for practical use is extremely difficult due to the unpredictability of lightning strikes and challenges converting the high voltage to usable alternating current.
SPS(Solar Power Satellite)
The document summarizes wireless power transmission (WPT) via solar power satellites (SPS). SPS would collect solar energy in space and transmit it to Earth as microwaves to large rectifying antennas. SPS could provide a sustainable source of clean energy by harnessing stronger sunlight in space without weather effects. However, SPS remain expensive due to high launch and construction costs of satellites over 6 miles long, requiring further technological advances and support for practical implementation.
Solar computer final presentation.docx
This document discusses solar energy and how it can be used to power computers. Solar energy involves converting sunlight into electrical or thermal energy through solar cells or heating. A typical desktop computer uses 65-250 watts of power per hour, costing $8760 per year to run if paying $0.05 per kilowatt-hour of electricity. Samsung has developed a solar-powered netbook computer called the NC215S that can get 1 hour of battery life after 2 hours of charging from sunlight and last about 14 hours on a full charge when used off-grid.
Solarpresentation
The document estimates Olympia's potential for roof-mounted solar photovoltaics. It hypothesizes that Olympia has good potential due to its fast-growing solar technology, clean energy, decreasing costs, and incentives. The estimate will involve calculating the power density of 10% of different land types in Olympia, and using that to extrapolate the total solar potential from all available areas.
Présentation Rome2
The document discusses solar experiments conducted at the Lycée Charlie Chaplin. It describes using a solar checker to measure cellars based on the sun's position, a gnomon sundial to trace the sun's trajectory using webcam measurements, and using a gnomon to determine the sun's height and azimuth from shadow stick measurements over a day. Graphs are shown comparing the energy output of static versus moving solar panels on winter solstices, summer solstices, and equinoxes. A thermal panel that passively moves to the sun's position is also described, along with a motorized panel that uses a motor and program to track the sun.
Space Based Solar Power
The document discusses the technical challenges facing the development of space solar power (SSP). Key points include:
1) SSP could help address global energy needs and climate change by providing large-scale carbon-neutral energy from geostationary orbit.
2) Major challenges include developing technologies for very large solar arrays and wireless power transmission over long distances from space to Earth.
3) Significant improvements have been made, but constructing multi-gigawatt SSP systems will require overcoming challenges in areas like lightweight structures, high-power wireless power transmission, and modular satellite assembly and deployment.
Lunar solar power system
Two general concepts have been proposed for delivering
solar power to Earth from space. In one, Peter Glaser of
Arthur D. Little, Inc. (Cambridge, MA), proposed in 1968
that a huge satellite in geosynchronous orbit around Earth
could dependably gather solar power in space. In the sec-
ond concept, discussed here, solar power would be col-
lected on the moon. In both ideas, many different beams
of 12-cm wavelength microwaves would deliver power to receivers at sites located worldwide. Each receiver would
supply commercial power to a given region. Such a receiv-
er, called a rectenna, would consist of a large field of small
rectifying antennas. A beam with a maximum intensity of
less than 20% of noontime sunlight would deliver about
200 W to its local electric grid for every square meter of
rectenna area. Unlike sunlight, microwaves pass through
rain, clouds, dust, and smoke. In both scenarios, power
can be supplied to the rectenna at night.

Anti solar panel
This document discusses solar panels and introduces a concept called an "anti-solar panel" that could generate electricity at night. It provides background on the evolution of solar panels and how they work using the photovoltaic effect. The document then describes an anti-solar panel, which would use a process called thermoradiation to generate electricity by radiating heat to the sky at night. It compares the processes and operation of traditional solar panels and anti-solar panels. Researchers are working on prototypes to evaluate how well anti-solar panels could generate a portion of the electricity at night that solar panels collect during the day.
ftegs
This document summarizes a solar tracking and power generation project conducted by students at UC Santa Barbara. It discusses how solar tracking can maximize the amount of sunlight collected and describes the key components of the system, including Fresnel lenses, photovoltaic cells, thermoelectric generators, microcontrollers and motors for autonomous solar tracking. Performance results are provided, showing a theoretical power of 6W but actual generation of 1.94W, with a net energy production of 0.142Wh over 5 minutes. Areas for further improvement are also noted.
Question 1 group 8
This document discusses drones and solar panels. It begins by asking questions about how drones work and their purposes. It then explains that drones have components like flight controllers, GPS, motors, electronic speed controllers, and propellers that work together to keep the drone stable and in flight. Drones can be used for filming, entertainment, inspection, security, transport, aid, and defense. Regarding the drone in the movie, it discusses that while it could theoretically fly for 10 years using solar energy during the day and batteries at night, real batteries cannot last that long without replacement. The document also provides formulas for calculating power and the power output of solar panels. Finally, it summarizes how solar panels work by using silicon crystals that generate
Final Presentation
The document summarizes a proposal to integrate solar power generation at the Lillgrund offshore wind farm in Sweden. Currently the wind farm has 48 turbines that generate around 330 GWh per year. The proposal evaluates installing solar panels between the wind turbines to generate additional power from solar energy. Simulation results estimate the solar installation, with panels at a 30 degree tilt, could generate around 220,599 MWh per year. Combined annual generation from wind and solar is estimated to be 545,372 MWh, providing more stable power production throughout the year. The integrated system could help utilize existing infrastructure and reduce maintenance costs for the wind farm.
Energyfarms v1.15
This presentation was part of a video a submission to 'The Living Climate Change Video Challenge - presented by IDEO and hosted by DESIGN 21 and had to be maximum 2 minutes.
In this video we paint the picture of how energy would be optimised not just by humans but machines as they become intelligent and integrated into our daily lives.
While the world's power demands are expected to rise 60% by 2030, it is supposed by the same time, majority of our energy generation will be decentralised. Our local neighborhoods will become energy farms, allowing local communities to exchange energy between themselves via the Smart Grid it would be similar to todays local farmers market - but for energy.
As we become more involve and aware in our energy production, our behavior will ultimately change. We will move from being a conscious customer to cautious ones thus further optimizing our overall energy consumption.
Combined with the semantic web, our home appliances and car will access the internet to discover our daily routines, activities and usage patterns to optimize our overall energy use.
Our future is bright and delightful.
Solar 101
Solar energy comes from the sun and can be used as a source of heat and light or to generate electricity. It has been harnessed for centuries through technologies like solar heating. Modern solar power plants use either photovoltaic cells or thermal systems to convert sunlight into electricity. A photovoltaic plant directly converts sunlight to electricity using solar arrays and inverters, while a thermal plant uses concentrated sunlight to heat a working fluid and drive a turbine generator. To power Arizona would require around 400 square miles of solar panels, capturing the abundant yearly sunshine to generate the state's electricity needs.
