Energy systems thinking a new design

Hi I would like to ask the community if we can set up a post for a new energy system I have been working on ,I think it works out more efficient and ecologically better , and its large scale thinking for energy systems , and now I need to check through my figures and need the views of IET thinkers for instance on combustion , post combustion chemistry , it unfolds into quite a complex system which I have been working on for 8 years , but enables us to get more energy from wastes and perhaps helps to move to biomaterials. I have an interest as environmental thinker and have designed the system to go through to government funding phases and pretty confident it works well in a number of questions around energy and environmental thinking .

  • Most people turn on the power switches without thinking about the source from which it comes. Well, about two-thirds of the electricity is generated by burning coal and gas in power plants. This process releases a million tons of carbon dioxide, the gas responsible for climate change every year. The other sources of electricity come mainly from nuclear power that adversely affects the environment. Green electricity means electricity generated from sources Green electricity means electricity generated from sources that do not cause harmful effects on the environment. Of course, each type of power generation affects in some way, but some sources are considered much greener than others. Green and clean energy sources utilize the earth's natural energy flow, and are known as renewable energy sources, which are never depleted. solar energy This energy is used to supply essential power to many types of electrical equipment. This technology is based on converting sunlight directly into electricity, even on cloudy days, using semiconductor technology, which can be operated in buildings. Solar energy is used to heat water directly using receptors designed specifically for this purpose. Even in winter, a useful amount of hot water is produced through receptors installed on the roof. The technology of using natural sunlight is currently used for heating, lighting and air conditioning. Wind energy In places characterized by windy winds, wind power can be harnessed using power generation turbines. Wind turbines are adapted to provide a small, but growing, percentage of electricity. In fact, wind power is one of the fastest sources of energy production. Wind turbine technology has improved the most in the last ten years, and is considered a quieter and more efficient investment, competing with traditional nuclear power plants. Wave energy Many different devices have been designed over the years to capture some of the vast natural energy resources. With the right technology, wave power can provide a significant portion of power consumption. Tidal energy Tidal energy has been in use for over a thousand years. One method of capturing this energy is to build a volley across a estuary, storing water during high tide, and then releasing and storing them in turbines during low tide. Another method is to use "sea turbines", which work like underwater wind turbines, harnessing the tidal currents, instead of the winds. Geothermal energy This energy comes from hot rocks located deep underground. In some parts of the world, steam reaches the surface and can be used to power steam turbines for direct power generation. Elsewhere, water heated by the rocks can be pumped to convert steam into energy. Geothermal energy is also used to supply hot water and heat buildings. Biomass energy Biomass is agricultural waste or plants grown specifically for use as fuel to operate small power plants. The plants absorb carbon dioxide, the main gas responsible for climate change, and then the carbon dioxide is released with the burning of the plants. This process does not add additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, thus being considered as a source of environmentally friendly electrical energy supply.
