A lawnmower engine is 3HP (2.2kW or 0.0022 MW).Typical car engine is 200 HP (150kw or 0.15MW).Typical home demands 1.2kW at any given moment, on avg. 1MW=106watts106w/1200w=833 homes powered by a MW.Ames peak demand is about 126MW.The US has 1,121,000MW of power plant capacity.

1 gallon gasoline=0.0334MWhr; Typical home uses 11000kWhrs=11MWhrs in 1 year (about 1.2kW×8760hrs).1 ton coal=6MWhrs.

2010 is different! And 2011 is not much better. Why?

Page 10: Wind & energy

College of Engineering

Why was wind growth in 2010/2011 less than in previous years?

Poor 2008-2009 economy:• Less willingness to load, to build projects• Less power demand!

Risks of a very high gas-electric future:•Lifetime: Infrastructure investments live for 40-60 years and are not easy to “turn” once developed. •Diversification:

Today’s national energy system portfolio consists primarily of electric (coal, nuclear, gas, renewables), heating/industrial (gas), & transportation (petroleum). A high gas-electric future, with transportation electrification, will decrease portfolio diversification, creating a national vulnerability.

•Cost: Is heavy gas-electric investment the lowest cost option in terms of long-term {investment+production}?•Depletability: R/P ratios 10-90 yrs - what will be price effects as gas depletes?•Fracking: How much will public resistance grow?•CO2 emissions: Will coal-to-gas shift reduce it enough?

Alternative future: •Reduce coal in electric sector while growing gas & pipelines equally with wind+electric transmission. Co-optimize gas pipeline & electric transmission.•Replace significant petroleum for light-duty vehicles with CNG vehicles & PHEVs.•Conjecture: This approach will reduce CO2 more than a high gas-electric approach and will result in greater diversification of energy resources.

14 of top 20 are in the interior of the nation. Top 3 coastal states are West. East coast is light on wind but heavy on load.Implication?

3 options for East coast use of wind:Build high cost inland wind, go offshore, or use transmission to move it from Midwest

Background on Wind Energy in USTax incentives

• Federal Incentives:• Renewed incentives Feb 2009 through 12/31/12, via ARRA• 2.2 cents per kw-hr PTC for 10 yrs or 30% investment tax credit (ITC)

• State incentives:• IA: 1.5¢/kWhr for small wind, 1¢/kWhr for large wind• Various other including sales & property tax reductions

Page 22: Wind & energy

College of EngineeringFederal energy policy (don’t have one)

22

• In congress, “Energy bill” means Federal RPS, and “Climate bill” means CO2 emissions control.

• Waxman-Markey Energy/Climate bill passed house 6/09. Climate part was “Cap and Trade.”

• Related Kerry-Graham Climate bill did not pass Senate.• 2010 Carbon Limits & Energy For America’s Renewal, CLEAR

Act (Sen Collins/Cantwell), “Cap & Refund”• Cap CO2 “upstream” via sales of coal, gas, petroleum• Producers/importers buys CO2 permits in monthly auction• 3/4 of auction revenues refunded to US citizens

• Congressional attention died; Climate/energy bill non-issue in pres. campaigns

• 7/11 EPA rules “Cross-State Air Pollution Rule” (CSAPR, for SO2, NOx), “Mercury/Air Toxics Standards” (MATS) have more effect, causing near-term power plant shut-down, but CSAPR stayed on 12/30/11 by US Court of Appeals, DC Circuit.

Grand Challenge Question For Energy:

What investments should be made, how much, when, and where, at the national level, over the next 40 years, to achieve a sustainable, low cost, and resilient energy & transportation system?

Where, when, how much of each, & how to interconnect?

Page 26: Wind & energy

College of Engineering

Grand Challenges For Wind:1. Move wind energy from

where it is harvested to where it can be used

2. Develop economically-attractive methods to accommodate increased variability and uncertainty introduced by large wind penetrations in operating the grid.

3. Improve wind turbine/farm economics (decrease investment and maintenance costs, increase operating revenues).

4. Address potential concerns about local siting, including wildlife, aesthetics, and impact on agriculture.

How to address grand challenges

#1. Move wind energy from where it is harvested to where it can be used.• Transmission

• Eastern interconnection Midwest to East coast• National Superhighways at 765 kV AC and/or 600/800 kV DC

• Right of way (rail, interstate highwys, existing transmission)• Cost allocation• Organizational nightmare

• Conductor technologies: overhead/underground, materials• Offshore, lower CF turbines, higher turbines, but all of these result in higher cost of energy

NETPLAN: multiperiod, multiobjective, multisector

Investments mainly in renewables with some nuclear.

Flow is west to east.Highest trans cap investment is MAIN (4) to ECAR (1) because: •CF (0.5 in MAIN, 0.3 in ECAR)•Load is very high in ECARHigh trans cap investment from SPP (10) to STV (9) because:•CF (0.4 in SPP, 0.1 in STV)•Load is very high in STV

CPLEX LP inside evolutionary program; co-optimizes generation, transmission, gas pipelines to minimize 40 year investment+production costs, network flow.

#2. Develop economically-attractive methods to accom-modate increased variability and uncertainty introduced by large wind penetrations in operating the grid.• Variability:

• Increase gas turbines• Wind turbine control• Load control• Storage (pumped hydro, compressed air, flywheels, batteries, others)• Increase geodiversity

• Uncertainty:• Decrease it: improve forecasting uncertainty• Handle it better: Develop UC decisions robust to wind pwr uncertainty

#3. Improve wind turbine/farm economics (decrease investment/maint costs, increase operating revenues).• Investment: Improve manufacturing/supply chain processes, construction, collection circuit layout, interconnection cost, land lease, and financing• Operating & maintenance:

• Improve monitoring/evaluation for health assessment/prediction/life-ext• Decrease maintenance costs (gearbox vs. direct-drive)

• Enhance energy extraction from wind per unit land area• Improved turbine siting• Inter-turbine and inter-farm control• Increased efficiency of drive-train/generator/converters• Lighter, stronger materials and improved control of rotor blades• Taller turbines

#4. Address potential concerns about local siting, including wildlife, visual/audible, impact on agriculture.• Migratory birds and bats: mainly a siting issue for birds. Bat-kill is more frequent.•Agriculture: Agronomists indicate wind turbines may help!• Visual: a sociological issue

These issues have not been significant yet. Today, in Iowa, there are ~2600 turbines, with capacity 4200 MW. At 2 MW/turbine, a growth to 60 GW would require 30000 turbines, and assuming turbines are located only on cropland having class 3 or better winds (about 1/6 of the state), this means these regions would see, on average, one turbine every 144 acres.
