NIS Students and Zhansugorov University Summer School ProjectNazarbayev Intellectual

School, TaldykorganMr. Marty

What can you learn today?• Objective 1: Excitement for EXPO 2017 Theme of Future Energy:

Guiding students to explore sustainable energy technologies and to take an active role in Green Economy Development!

• Objective 2: Knowledge of Kazakhstan’s Future Energy Potential: Exploring Solar, Wind and Hydrologic Resources in Almaty Province!

on sustainable energy topics and green economies!

What is a World Expo?• A World’s Fair is an international exposition that

occurs every 3 to 5 years.• Hosting a World’s Fair has the significance of

hosting The Olympics or The World Cup!

Where The Future Came From; 1893 Chicago’s World’s Fair

Tesla's work—specifically his developments in AC power systems—touched virtually every part of this EXPO.

What is planned for EXPO 2017? June 10 to September 10, 2017

• The first Geothermal heated building in Kazakhstan• Key Concepts “socio-economic and environmental”

https://expo2017astana.com/en/energy/zamyisel-proekta

Why should you Participate in EXPO 2017?• Cultural Expositions from around the World• Showcase of the latest technology and inventions• Future Energy Alternatives for Kazakhstan• International Companies looking for Employees

Why Future Energy and Green Economies?Traditional Energy is Polluting our air and Changing our Climate

Future Energy is Sustainable

What Does President Nazarbayev say about EXPO 2017?

• President Nazarbayev says: “This will be a turning point for Kazakhstan. It will start a whole new chapter in economic development and I want to emphasize its importance…”

• President Nazarbayev added: “The national pavilions that will be built to house the EXPO will be retained for future use, including a laboratory science park for the introduction of new technologies in Kazakhstan.”

What is the Hydroelectric Potential of Almaty, “The Land of 7 Rivers Zhetysu”?

How does traditional Hydroelectric compare to Vortex Hydroelectric?

Traditional Hydroelectric with large dams of great height

Vortex Hydroelectric with 2 to 3 meters of height

What is Vortex Hydro Energy?

• Vortex power is a form of hydropower where the rotational energy from vortices is used to generate electricity

• Two kinds of Vortex Possibilities– whirlpool hydro rotors– Vortex Induced Vibrations

•In 2005, Dr. Michael Bernitsas looked for ways to maximize the effects of VIV and develop a device to generate clean and renewable electricity!•University of Michigan – Ann Arbor•Vortex Hydro Energy LLC (VHE)

Does Kazakhstan have Wind Potential?Average Wind Speed in Astana is 3 - 6 m/s

Reference: https://weatherspark.com/averages/33754/Astana-Akmola-Province-Kazakhstan

How much wind is needed to generate Wind Power?

• The minimum speed needed to generate electricity is about 3 meters per second.

• How is wind energy calculated?

Wind Capture area

Are there different Wind Turbine Designs?

Wind speed and power increase with height

Does Kazakhstan have Solar Potential?Ask People in Balkash if the Sun Shines a lot

Reference: http://www.weather-and-climate.com/average-monthly-Rainfall-Temperature-Sunshine,balchasj,Kazakhstan from ClimateTemp.info What is the Climate, Average Temperature/ Weather in Kazakhstan

22 to 28 days of sunshine per month!

How much Sunshine in Kazakhstan?
