College of Engineering Some preliminaries Power: MW=1341HP. Energy: MWhr=3.413MMbtu (10 6 btu); 1btu=1055joules E=P×T Run 1.5 MW turbine at 1.5 MW for 2 hrs: 3 MWhrs. Run 1.5 MW turbine at 0.5 MW for 2 hrs: 1MWhrs 4 Power, PTime, TEnergy, ECapacity, P rated Time, t  Power, P(t) 1.5 MW If P varies with t: Capacity factor: A lawnmower engine is 3HP (2.2kW or MW). Typical car engine is 200 HP (150kw or 0.15MW). Typical home demands 1.2kW at any given moment, on avg. 1MW=10 6 watts  10 6 w/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. Actual annual energy production as a percentage of annual energy production at P rated

College of Engineering 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? 25

College of Engineering NUCLEAR GEOTHERMAL SOLAR Wind BIOMASS CLEAN-FOSSIL Where, when, how much of each, & how to interconnect?

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. 27

College of Engineering How to address grand challenges 29 #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 Bulk storage

College of Engineering How to address grand challenges 30

College of Engineering How to address grand challenges 31 #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 that are more robust to wind pwr uncertainty

College of Engineering How to address grand challenges 32 #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 machines and 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

College of Engineering How to address grand challenges 34 #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 3700 MW. At 2 MW/turbine, a growth to 60 GW would require 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.
