  1. renewable energy By Manuel Armindo PORTUGAL

  2. Natural electricity…

  3. disadvantages • Very difficult to get/capture (I don’t know when… • Very difficult to manage (very high energy in small periods

  4. So, Houston, we have a problem…

  5. Meanwhile, in Portugal… • We are working to get a better world • And also reduce the energy independence…

  6. 50,4% off our all energy, is from petroleum!!!

  7. Where?

  8. Our renewal energy • Water (rivers) • Wind • Sun • Geothermal • Waste/disposables • Waves Translated by GOOGLE

  9. Rivers (Dams) • We call it “white gold” (opposite to “black gold” from petroleum)

  10. Go GOOGLE EARTH

  11. Wind (farms)

  12. Go GOOGLE EARTH

  13. SOLAR POWER PLANTS

  14. AMARELEJA - MOURA

  15. BRINCHES - SERPA

  16. Rosário - Almodovar Ferreira do Alentejo

  17. Go GOOGLE EARTH

  18. Geothermal

  19. AZORES Pico Vermelho (10MW, 72GWh/year)

  20. Ribeira Grande(13MW, 98.5GWh/year)

  21. 41% of the electrical energy in the island, is from this two power plants!!!

  22. Go GOOGLE EARTH

  23. Waste/disposables • Burning the remains from woods (leaves and others) • Burning the remains from the paper industry (shells from trees) • Burning waste/garbage from our houses • Disposables from pigs industry (faeces)or lanfills, by decomposing in to methane and burning this gas.

  24. Remains from woods (MORTÁGUA) 9 MW (63 GWh / year)

  25. Burning the remains from the paper industry(CONSTÂNCIA)

  26. Urban waste (LIPOR II – MAIA) 26MW (169MWh (year)

  27. Methane from faeses (ABRANTES) 140kW (700 MWh/year)

  28. Methane from lanfills(VILA NOVA DE GAIA) 1MW ( 8GWh/year)

  29. Go GOOGLE EARTH

  30. Waves • This was experimental in our country • All of them don’t work now, they are broken because the sea is very violent and ruthless

  31. Cachorro – AZORES 400kW

  32. Technology: OWC oscillating water column

  33. Aguçadoura – Póvoa de Varzim

  34. Tecnology: Pelamis 3x750kW (2250MW)

  35. Póvoa de Varzim

  36. Tecnology: ArchimedesWaveSwing 2MW
