Hydropower
23% of incoming solar energy goes to evaporating water on Earth
Hydropower is up to 90% efficient, very high energy quality – essentially no thermodynamic limit
Hydropower is nearly fully developed in industrialized nations
Potential for development x 5 worldwide – but it produces more GHG in tropical areas.
+ Clean, quiet, “non-polluting”
+ Pump water up high to store energy
- DISCUSS environmental and human impacts

Power from Niagara falls3. The average flow rate in the Niagara River is 6.0×106 kg/s, and the water drops 50 m over the Falls.If all this energy could be harnessed to generate hydro- electric power at 90 percent efficiency (e), what would be the electric power output?
Solution: Power = e • Energy/time and Energy = mgh:

Warmer tropics → lower pressure air

Low pressure → rising air cools →
condensation → precipitation

10. (a) Estimate the total energy produced by a wind turbine with the power curve shown in Fig.10.15 during a day when the wind blows at 2 m/s for six hours, at 10m/s for six hours, at 15 m/s for six hours, and at 25 m/s for six hours.
(b) What’s the turbine’s average power output over this day?

Energy payback time
• Solar PV: 2 years
• Wind: 2-3 months

Biomass and biofuelsBiomass: wood, waste, plant-derived fuel …
Photosynthesis:
6 H2O + 6 CO2 + energy → glucose + 6 O2
• less than 0.1% efficient, but stores 133 TW solar power in plant growth
• Plants use half of gross: net primary productivity• Humans use 40% of net pp – too much already.
Carbon neutrality requires: • Sustainable production/ harvest• No fossil fuel use (equivalent)
