ENERGY

GROUP 3
 GLOBAL NEED

Generally, highly industrialized

countries consume much
more electrical energy than
other countries. Different
countries have different
lifestyles and uses for energy,
and these affect the amount of
energy needed to maintain
their standard of living.
Sometimes, almost half of the
energy consumption is
claimed by industrial
operations.
INDUSTRIAL
COUNTRIES

Industrial countries have

shown to achieve a more
stable economy than the
agriculture ones. This is
because of the increased
dependency on the latest
technological
advancements for food,
transportation, and,
homes.
Machines allow workers to produce more quality goods and services at a
shorter time.
Currently, the world's major
sources of energy are fossil
fuels. The current situation on
the use of fossil fuel as source
of energy is an offshoot of the
Industrial Revolution when
fossil fuels were recognized to
be the easiest source of
energy.
 APPLIED
TECHNOLOGY
Fossil Fuel
Extraction
 COAL
This source of energy was
formed from plant remains
buried under layers of
sediments pressed between
the soil and rock layers and
altered by the effects and
heat over millions of years.
Surface mining is usually
employed especially when coal
is less than 100 meters thick.
Advances in methods of
surface mining and
improvements in equipment
have increased coal mining
activities since 1970.
OIL

Oil is considered to have more

useful characteristics than coal as a
source of energy. It is more
concentrated, which makes it easier
to extract with less damage to the
environment. It can also be easily
moved through pipes.
figure 6.13
Once the oil is recovered, it is
processed since it cannot be
used in its raw form. The raw
form of oil is called crude oil.

The various components of crude oil can

be separated and collected by heating it in
different temperatures through fractional
distillation (see figure 6.13).
 HYDRAULIC FRACTURING
NATURAL GAS

Natural gas is chiefly methane. It is Fracking or hydraulic fracturing is a

found in shale rocks that can be method where a high-pressure fluid
recovered through the process of is injected straight into a rock in
fracking. order to release the natural gas
inside it.
 ENERGY PRODUCTION
Basically, generating electricity requires a turbine and a generator. These two
important components make the conversion of any source of energy to electrical
energy possible. The source of energy being converted could be renewable or
nonrenewable (fossil fuels).
The generator works to maintain a steady flow of electrons from the movement of
the turbines, thus creating a magnetic field that creates the electricity.
figure 6.15

In figure 6.15, coal, a flammable material, is
burned to induce steam. The pipes are important,
as they help concentrate the steam to create
power in forcing the turbine to run. Oil, natural
gas, and biomass are other options for fuel.
figure 6.16
In some cases, fire is not necessary if the source is
already very hot, like geothermal power plants (see
figure 6.16). No furnace is necessary in geothermal
power plants because no burning takes place.
 SOLAR IRRADIANCE FROM THE SUN

Another alternative source of energy is solar power. Photovoltaic

(PV) cells are solid-state semiconductor devices that immediately
convert light into electricity. The photons from the light energy of
the sun allow the movement of electrons, generating a flow of
electricity. The charged electrons flow to a series of other
regulators that controls and store the electricity produced so that
electricity is available anytime the power is switched on.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

The production of energy involve

complex technological applications to
ensure a constant supply of electricity.
The demand for source of energy is still
more reliant on fossil fuels. You have
learned that fossil fuels are
nonrenewable and cause environmental
problems.
