2. Energy Thermoelectric Power Plant of Pego Energy is a vital resource in any modern society: as the food the energy must be stored and transported in time and place is available to where it will be used. Fossil and nuclear fuels, which store energy in the form of chemical or nuclear are the most common way of storing and transporting energy. Engine room: boiler, turbine, condenser Refrigeration Towers Transmission lines (high voltage)

3. Renewable Energy Castelo de Bode Dam Renewable energy sources are of various types: wind turbines, wave energy, solar energy and hydro or mini hydro systems (dams) are some examples. Stored water Engine room Transmission lines (high voltage)

4. 3 units or groups of production, with nominal power of 392 MW.Combined cycle technology allows to achieve an energy conversion exceeding 57.5% of yield, witch compares very favorably with the 36% of a coal fired power station at Sines or Pego. The Thermoelectric Power Plant of Ribatejo: These modern units are quite complex, and are designed to achieve maximum thermal efficiency. But combustion of fossil fuels gives rise to solid and gaseous pollutants, such as CO x, SO x, NO x, metal fumes, ashes, etc.. To remove these pollutants are required expensive equipment as "scrubbers", electrostatic precipitators, etc., which turns the price of electricity more expensive.

6. Nuclear, Yes or not? Nuclear power plants use a steam cycle to produce mechanical energy, but the steam to power the turbine is generated by heat transfer from a hot fluid that passes through the nuclear reactor, or contact directly with reactor fuel. The main drawback of a nuclear power plant, which does not emit pollutants into the air, is the difficulty in ensuring that the immense generated radioactivity never escapes by accident.

7. Over time … Agricultural societies: Solar Energy 1 st Civilizations: hydropower Growing of Europe: Canals/Dams/Mills (wind energy) Modernity: Chemical/Mechanical energy Industrial Revolution: Coal/vapor XX Century : electricity, oil, nuclear XXI Century: Thermonuclear controlled fusion?

8. Global Sources of Energy 1 Q = 1x10 15 Btu = 1.055x10 18 J = 2.9307x10 11 kWh

9. Global consumption of electricity Electricity is a secondary form of energy generated from primary sources (fossil, nuclear, hydroelectric, geothermal and other renewable sources).

29. Problem 1. The coal reserves are estimated at 24000 Q. What the total value in kJ? What is the lifetime of these reserves to the current consumption rate of 93 Q/year and if the consumption increase r = 0.5%, 0.8% or 1%/ year? The lifetime can be calculated via where r is the rate of consumption growth, Q T are the total reserves and Q 0 is the current consumption.

30. Problem 2. The table below shows the situation of the production of electrical energy from renewable sources by 2013. I) from the data estimate the production in 2020 from various sources; II) calculate these production and sources for each year and trace the scenario of evolution in Portugal.
