Energy
Energy is everywhere
Energy
We use energy more than what we think
Energy
We use more and more Energy as time pass by
Energy
But we never dig dip into it until now
Energy
And somehow we never cared about side effects
until now
Energy
• A fundamental entity of nature that is transferred between parts of a
system in the production of physical change within the system and
usually regarded as the capacity to do work
• Expressed usually in Joules or kWh
• PE = m*g*h
• KE = ½ mv2
Types of Energy
• Renewable Energy – Energy source is constantly replenished
• Solar
• Wind
• Tidal
• Hydro
• Biomass
• Non Renewable Energy – Energy source would take years to
replenish
• Fossil Fuel
• Nuclear
• Natural Gas
Energy Conversion
• THE PROCESS OF CHANGING ONE FORM OF ENERGY INTO ANOTHER.
Energy Conversion
• ELECTRICAL TO RADIANT • CHEMICAL TO THERMAL
• ELECTRICAL TO SOUND • MECHANICAL TO ELECTRICAL
• RADIANT TO CHEMICAL • CHEMICAL TO ELECTRICAL
• CHEMICAL TO MECHANICAL • POTENTIAL TO KINETIC
• SOLAR TO ELECTRIC • THERMAL TO ELECTRICAL
• SOLAR TO THERMAL • CHEMICAL TO SOUND
 Short Exercise
• ELECTRICAL TO RADIANT
• ELECTRICAL TO SOUND
• RADIANT TO CHEMICAL
• CHEMICAL TO MECHANICAL
• SOLAR TO ELECTRIC
• SOLAR TO THERMAL
• CHEMICAL TO THERMAL
• MECHANICAL TO ELECTRICAL
• CHEMICAL TO ELECTRICAL
• POTENTIAL TO KINETIC
• THERMAL TO ELECTRICAL
• CHEMICAL TO SOUND

In a piece of paper, write at least two examples of each

of the energy conversions shown above. Scan to PDF and
upload to canvass within the day.
Energy Sources for Power
Generation
• Primary energy sources take many forms, including nuclear
energy, fossil energy and renewable sources
like wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower. These primary sources
are converted to electricity, a secondary energy source, which flows
through power lines and other transmission infrastructure to your
home and business.

Generation

Principles of resource classifi cation. Source: McKelvey, 1967 .

Energy Sources for Power
Generation
• Identified Resources – Known location, grade quality,
• Undiscovered Resources - quantities expected to exist based on
materials found in analogous geological conditions
• Other Occurrences - materials that are too low grade or for
• other reasons not considered technically or economically extractable
FACTORS FOR ENERGY
RESOURCE ASSESSMENT
• Geology and Access to Raw Materials
• Climate
• Environmental Conditions
• Human Factors
• Cost of Exploitation and production
• Changes of Technology
• Political Factors

4. Biomass 11. Solar
5. Nuclear (fission-materials) 12. Vibration
6. Nuclear (fusion-materials) 13. Ocean Thermal
7. Geothermal
ASSESSMENT 1 - SUMMATIVE
Choose an energy source based on the lecture on Sept 9, 2020. Create a power
point presentation. On the notes section of the power point, place your
discussions.
• The presentation should cover the following:
• 1. All About the energy resource (Where can it be found, what is its function in
the earth, what is it used for conventionally, its chemical composition if there is
any, etc.)
• 2. Historical back ground or the time line of events from when it was discovered.
• 3. How will it be used as a source of electricity? What processes will it undergo
• 4. How much percent of it is available worldwide and in the Philippines? Give
examples of existing facilities in the Philippines that use this resource for energy.
• 5. How will the resource be assessed? Give at least two procedures to do
resource assessment of the chosen resource.
QUIZ 1

The presentation should range from 20 - 50 slides and the discussions should
be more than 1000 words.

Grading system:
• Presentation - 40% (animation, text, presentation content, visibility etc)
• Content - 60% (Discussion content, presentation content)

Note that this is mostly a research activity. place your references in lower
left. For discussions, avoid copy paste. you must write what you understand
and what you want your reader to understand.

Capstone Project Activity
• Identify a location (possibly Rural) or an island where you want to
propose your choice of technology. Download Google Earth or use
Google earth browser to have a clear picture of the area.
• You may use National Electrification Administration files
(Electrification Status) and department of energy to check for areas
that have limited or no access to electricity yet.
• For those who chose renewable energy you may check National
Renewable Energy Laboratory website, SolarAtlas and WindAtlas for a
better view.
