  1. Energy Energy and Environment are linkedtogether.

  2. PowerStations in theCzechRepublic CoalNuclearHydroSolarWind

  3. Resources:Renewable/ Non renewable • Solar • Wind • Hydro • Wave • Tidal • Geothermal • Biomass • Fossil • Nuclear Energyflow

  4. Solar The Sun is 150 millionkilometresaway, andamazinglypowerful. • Howitworks • solar cells (photovoltaicorphotoelectriccells) • solar water heating • solar power station

  5. Solar Power Station Solar OneBarstow, California

  6. Solar Power Station (principle)

  7. Solar Water Heating(principle) Heatfromthe Sun isused to heatwater in glasspanels on theroof.

  8. Solar Water Heating - principle Another principle – a system of parabolic mirrors (like a spout).

  9. Solar map oftheCzechRepublic Ourtownissituated in the area withbestinsolation

  10. Wind We've usedthewind as anenergysourcefora longtime. • Howitworks • windmill (used in theMiddleAges) • wind generator

  11. Windmill Historicalwindmills in theCzechRepublic

  12. Wind generator - principle

  13. Sailing ship Energyfromwind

  14. Windsurfing

  15. Huriccane – a destructivepower

  16. Hydro Wehaveusedrunningwater as anenergysourceforthousandsofyears, mainly to grindcorn. • Howitworks • watermill(used in theMiddleAges) • hydraulicpowerplant

  17. Watermill Historicalwatermill in Slup, near Znojmo

  18. Makeyourwatermill Whatyouneed: How to do:

  19. Hydraulic power plant A dam isbuilt to trap water, usually in a valleywherethereisanexistinglake. Waterisallowed to flowthroughtunnels in the dam, to turnturbinesandthus drive generators.

  20. Hydro powers in the Czech Republic The most importantseriesofdams in theCzechRepubliciscalledthe Vltava Cascade, consistingofninewaterworks: Lipno I, Lipno II, Hnevkovice, Korensko, Orlik, Kamyk, Slapy, StechoviceandVrane. 1900 MW in total Slapy

  21. Czech Water Power Plant "Orlik" Vltava river Built in 1954 - 1961 - 720 millions m3 ofwater - 4x91 MW

  22. Lipno – hydro power plant

  23. Vranov hydro powerplant– 25 km far fromourtown

  24. Thebiggest hydro power in theworld Itaipu, Parana river, Brasil/ Paraquay, 12600 MW

  25. Wave • Howitworks • the wavesarriving cause thewaterin thechamber to riseandfall

  26. Wave Power Station A companycalledWavegennowoperate a commercialwavepower station called "Limpet“. The island ofIslay, Scotland’swestcoast TheLimpet’s design makesiteasy to buildandinstall. Itslow profile giveslowvisibility, soitdoesn’tintrude on coastallandscapesorviews.

  27. Wave Power Station A companycalledOceanPowerDelivery are developing a methodofoffshorewaveenergycollection, using a floating tube called "Pelamis".

  28. Tidal Tidalpower - energyfromthesea The movement of the sea could be a huge energy source, but only around 20 sites in the world have been identified as possible tidal power stations. These work rather like a hydro-electric scheme, except that the dam is much bigger. • Howitworks • Tidal barrages

  29. Tidal power station – example 1 Swanturbines Insteadofwinddrivingthe rotor, a tidalstreamturbineuseswater. Swanturbinesis a consortiumof 9 partners led by Swanturbines Ltd. Swansea, Wales, UK

  30. Tidal power station – example 2 vertical-axis turbines

  31. Tidal power station – example 3 Anotheroptionis to use offshoreturbines, ratherlikeanunderwaterwindfarm.

  32. Geothermalenergy Iceland Diagram shows Icelandic geothermal power station takes advantage of heat from magna chamber relatively close to the surface.

  33. Iceland Hot water pipeline runs for 17 kms from geothermal plantto Reykjavik. Water providesmost of city’s space heating needs.

  34. Geothermal • Howitworks • Hotrocks underground heat watertoproducesteam.

  35. Biomass energy from organic materials Woodwasonceourmainfuel. Weburnedit to heatourhomesandcookourfood. "Bioconversion" usesplantandanimalwastes to producefuels such as methanol, naturalgas, andoil. Wecan use rubbish, animalmanure, woodchips, seaweed, cornstalksandotherwastes.
