The document summarizes the largest renewable energy projects in the world by type of generation. The Three Gorges Dam in China has the highest capacity at 18,000 MW and displaces over 1 million people. The Geysers in Northern California has been producing geothermal power since the 1920s using steam from an underground reservoir. The largest solar photovoltaic park is the 60 MW Olmedilla Photovoltaic Park in Spain, but China plans a 2,000 MW project by 2019. The largest commercial wave power plant was the 2 MW Aguçadoura Wave Farm in Portugal.
Dr. Keith Lovegrove unveiled the ANU's new solar thermal dish in September at the SolarPACES international solar thermal conference in Berlin to much acclaim. This will be the first time it will be presented in Melbourne.
It is the world's biggest solar dish that comes with a mass production system that can build one dish a day. The dish has the highest optical efficiency of any commercial solar technology in the world and a field of 500 produces 100MW electrical power. ANU's dishes can be used on undulating ground, which is difficult for current solar thermal systems that use mirror fields or troughs.
Dr. Keith Lovegrove will also talk about replacing all of Australia's energy needs with this solar technology used in conjunction with thermal salt storage.
Dr. Keith Lovegrove is a senior lecturer in Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the Australian National University (ANU). He heads the ANU Solar Thermal Group which works on a range of projects involving high and low temperature thermal conversion of solar energy. This includes looking at dish and trough concentrators and thermochemical energy storage. He is widely published in scientific journals and has advised the Australian Government on CSP . Dr Lovegrove and his team are at the forefront of International research into concentrated solar power.

Wind Turbine - Wind power has been used as long as humans have p.pdfkareemangels
Wind Turbine :-
Wind power has been used as long as humans have put sails into the wind. For more than two
millennia wind-powered machines have ground grain and pumped water. Wind power was
widely available and not confined to the banks of fast-flowing streams, or later, requiring sources
of fuel. Wind-powered pumps drained the polders of the Netherlands, and in arid regions such as
the American mid-west or the Australian outback, wind pumps provided water for live stock and
steam engines.
The first windmill used for the production of electricity was built in Scotland in July 1887 by
Prof James Blyth of Anderson\'s College, Glasgow ( the precursor of Strathclyde University ) .
Blyth\'s 10 m high, cloth-sailed wind turbine was installed in the garden of his holiday cottage at
Marykirk in Kincardineshire and was used to charge accumulators developed by the Frenchman
Camille Alphonse Faure, to power the lighting in the cottage, thus making it the first house in the
world to have its electricity supplied by wind power. Blyth offered the surplus electricity to the
people of Marykirk for lighting the main street, however, they turned down the offer as they
thought electricity was \"the work of the devil.\" Although he later built a wind turbine to supply
emergency power to the local Lunatic Asylum, Infirmary and Dispensary of Montrose the
invention never really caught on as the technology was not considered to be economically viable.
Across the Atlantic, in Cleveland, Ohio a larger and heavily engineered machine was designed
and constructed in the winter of 1887 – 1888 by Charles F. Brush, this was built by his
engineering company at his home and operated from 1886 until 1900. The Brush wind turbine
had a rotor 17 m ( 56 foot ) in diameter and was mounted on an 18 m ( 60 foot ) tower. Although
large by today\'s standards, the machine was only rated at 12 kW. The connected dynamo was
used either to charge a bank of batteries or to operate up to 100 incandescent light bulbs, three
arc lamps, and various motors in Brush\'s laboratory.
With the development of electric power, wind power found new applications in lighting
buildings remote from centrally-generated power. Throughout the 20th century parallel paths
developed small wind stations suitable for farms or residences, and larger utility-scale wind
generators that could be connected to electricity grids for remote use of power. Today wind
powered generators operate in every size range between tiny stations for battery charging at
isolated residences, up to near-gigawatt sized offshore wind farms that provide electricity to
national electrical networks.
PHOTO VOLTAIC POWER PLANT :-
In August 2006 there was widespread news coverage in the United Kingdom of the major high
street electrical retailers (Currys) decision to stock PV modules, manufactured by Sharp, at a cost
of £1,000 per module. The retailer also provides an installation service.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. As the world struggles to get more of its power
from renewable sources amid rising demand for
electricity, renewable energy projects are growing.
This is especially true in China, which has plans
for a solar thermal farm, a solar photovoltaic farm
and a wind farm that are five times to 30 times
bigger than the world's current largest. In the U.S.
and elsewhere in the world, building bigger plants
can be tricky. Though economies of scale help to
reduce the cost per watt of bigger projects, bigger
projects are riskier to finance. Here are today's
biggest projects, from highest capacity to lowest,
by type of generation.
3. Three Gorges Dam, China
Capacity: 18,000 MW
Year completed: 2008
This isn't just the biggest renewable energy project in
the world, it's the biggest electricity-generating project,
period. It has 32 main generators. More are being
added, and final capacity will be more than 20,000
MW. All that power comes at a cost: More than a
million people are said to have been displaced by its
construction.
4.
5. The Geysers, Northern California, U.S.
Capacity: 1,000 MW
First power produced: 1921
"The Geysers" aren't actually geysers, but an
underground steam reservoir nestled in mountains 70
miles north of San Francisco. The steam powers 22
power plants at the site, 15 of which are owned by
Calpine. The Geysers' steam first started producing
power in 1921, but the field wasn't developed
commercially until the 1960s.
6.
7. Roscoe Wind Farm, West Texas, U.S.
Capacity: 782 MW
Year completed: 2009
Roscoe, now run by the German utility E.On, overtook
another West Texas farm, the Horse Hollow Wind
Energy Center, last fall. It will soon be overtaken itself-
-if it hasn't been already. China is developing a wind
corridor in western Gansu province that is planned to
ultimately grow to a staggering 20,000 MW. By the end
of this year, it is scheduled to reach 5,000 MW.
8.
9. Solar Energy Generating Systems, Mojave Desert,
Calif., U.S.
Capacity: 354 MW
Year completed: 1990
This system, known as SEGS, is a collection of nine
plants that redirect the sun's heat to tubes of synthetic
oil. The heat in the oil is transferred to water,
producing steam that turns a turbine. Bright Source
Energy is planning a bigger 440 MW solar thermal
project, also in the Mojave Desert. But these plants
seem quaint compared with a Chinese plan announced
this month to build a series of solar thermal plants in
the Mongolian desert designed by eSolar that could
reach 2,000 MW.
10.
11. Jakobstad Biomass Power Plant, Ostrobothnia, Finland
Capacity: 240 MW
Year completed: 2001
Biomass plants are simple--they burn vegetation for
heat that is used to spin a turbine. What keeps them
small is simple, too: logistics. It's hard to gather and
transport the amount of biomass it would require to
power a plant the size of, for example, a coal plant.
12.
13. Rance Tidal Power Station
Brittany, France
Capacity: 240 MW
Year completed: 1966
Tide mills have been employed for centuries. A tide
coming or going turned a water wheel that powered a
mill. The Rance station produces power more like a
hydroelectric plant--the pressure of water flowing turns
cylindrical turbines. A newer approach calls for
submerging huge spinning blades that look a lot like wind
turbines, called axial turbines. But the next big tidal power
station will likely be South Korean, and work like the
Rance plant: A 254-MW project called the Shiwa Lake
Tidal Power Station is scheduled to be completed this
year.
14.
15. Horns Rev 2 Farm, Denmark
Capacity: 209 MW
Year completed: 2009
This farm, owned by Denmark's Dong Energy, became
the largest offshore wind farm in the world when it
was completed in the blustery North Sea last fall. It's a
small part of Europe's much bigger hopes for offshore
wind. The European Wind Energy Association is
targeting 40,000 MW of offshore wind in Europe by
2020, up from 1,500 now.
16.
17. Rozenburg Waste-To-Energy Plant, Netherlands
Capacity: 108 MW
Year completed: 1972
The simple way to turn trash into power is to burn it
and use the heat to turn a turbine, the same way you'd
burn coal or biomass. The problem with trash is that
it's, well, trash. The emissions from these can be nasty
and must be scrubbed hard to clean them. Other trash-
to-energy approaches include gasification that can
produce either electricity or ethanol
18.
19. Olmedilla Photovoltaic Park , Olmedilla, Spain
60 MW
2008
A solar photovoltaic cell is a wonderfully elegant
device. Without any moving parts it simply transforms
the photons emitted from the sun into electrons that
can run our lives. The problem, however, is gathering
enough photons. The world's biggest field is just 60
MW. That's about to change. Several larger plants are
planned, both in the U.S. and abroad. The really big
plans, of course, are Chinese. The first phase of a
gargantuan project that is expected to create a 2,000-
MW field of First Solar thin film panels by 2019 gets
underway this summer
20.
21. Aguçadoura Wave Farm, Portugal
2 MW
First installed: 2008
This was the first and only commercial wave energy
power plant, consisting of connected sections of tubes
that, when jostled by the waves, created hydraulic
pressure which was used to create electricity. That was
before the devices broke. Now they are awaiting
repairs that have been delayed because the plant's
owner, Babcock & Brown, is being liquidated. Pelamis,
which builds the devices, now has its sites on tastier
waves: It has teamed with Sweden's Vattenfall to build
a 20MW project off the Shetland Islands.
