Conclusion

What Clean Energy Technology is

CET � is creating Energy with smaller environmental footprint and

minimizing pollution.

� includes recycling, renewable energy (WindPower,

SolarPower, Biomass, Hydropower, Biofuels), SolarPower, Biomass, Hydropower, Biofuels),

GreenTransportation, Electric motors, lighting and many

other appliances that are now more energy efficient.

Clean Energy Technologies

• Renewable Energy: Is defined as energy that comes from

resources which are continually replenished on a human

timescale such as Sunlight, Wind, Rain, Tides. Waves.

• Recycling: is a process to change waste into new products to

prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the

consumption of fresh raw materials, reduces energy usage,

reduce air pollution and water pollution (from land filling)by

reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower

greenhouse gas emission.

• Green Transportation: This can be refer to when

transportation is sustainable which are largely being measured

by effectiveness and efficiency of any transportation system as

well as the environmental impact of the system.

• Lighting: This is the use of both natural and artificial light

sources like lamps and light fixtures for illumination by

capturing daylight (using windows, skylights, or light shelves)

which are sometimes used as the main source of light during

daytime in buildings

Climate Change /Global Warming

• Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the

statistical distribution of weather patterns over time. It may be a

change in average weather conditions, or in the distribution of

weather around the average conditions (i.e., more or fewer

extreme weather events). Climate change is caused by factors

such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received

by Earth

Global Warming is the rise in the average

temperature of Earth's atmosphere and

oceans caused by increasing concentration

of greenhouse gases produced by human

activities such as burning of fossil fuel.

Energy Efficiency and Monitoring

• Energy Efficiency is "using less energy to provide the

same service“

• For example : Replacing an incandescent lamp with a

compact fluorescent lamp (which uses much less energy compact fluorescent lamp (which uses much less energy

to produce the same amount of light) is energy

efficiency.

Energy Monitoring

• Hardware and software that connects to your energy

resources to provide a defined baseline of energy

consumption.

• Knowing is the start – you need to see what your energy

usage is as a starting point.– However, Being green is not just a marketing strategy, it’s a necessity to be efficient and – However, Being green is not just a marketing strategy, it’s a necessity to be efficient and

reduce operating expenses

Three monitoring technologies:a) Guessed/Estimated – Good

but not accurate. Could be off

by as much as 20% for

lighting and not loads.

b) Current Measurement Only

c) Power Measurement

Power Measurement- Best

• Samples real voltage and real current at high

frequencies

• Compensates for phase offsets

• Doesn’t get fooled by voltage drops or non-linear current

scalingscaling

• Expensive

• Measured by a dedicated device: GLS-EM-MCU

• Most accurate option for measurement

• Errors can be smaller than 1%

• Useful for measuring ANY electrical load

What are the steps involved

• Metering your energy consumption and collecting the data by

using an energy monitoring software.

• Uncover places to save energy - such as making upgrades or

replacing inefficient equipment

• Putting into place energy saving functions – such as demand

response settings or eliminating wasted energy in unoccupied

spaces

• Tracking progress by analyzing the real-time data and

comparing with historical information to what these efforts are

actually achieving.

Bringing it all together: Monitor, Manage AND Control
