Energy conversion
• In most processes, energy is constantly changing
from one form to another. This is called energy
conversion.
Examples
• The mechanical energy of a waterfall can be
converted to electromagnetic energy in a
generator.
• An internal combustion engine converts the
potential chemical energy in gasoline into heat,
which is then transformed into the kinetic energy
that moves a vehicle.
Figure shows the energy usage and conversion
in a process.
Output energy at a new form is always lower
than input energy.
The total energy input is recovered in various
other forms and hence the energy is conserved
Chemical Energy to Electrical Energy
• Chemical energy stored in coal is released as
heat when the coal is burned.
• The heat is used to produce steam which is
converted into mechanical energy in a turbine.
• The generator converts mechanical energy
into electric energy that travels through the
power lines into your home.
• From the power outlet at home, the lamp load
receives the electric energy.
Thermal Energy to Mechanical Energy
• Potential energy in the fuel is converted to
kinetic energy of expanding gas after
combustion.
• Kinetic energy of expanding gas is converted
to piston movement and hence to rotary
crankshaft movement.
• Rotary crankshaft movement is passed into
the transmission assembly to drive the wheels
of a car.
Mechanical Energy to Electrical Energy
• The potential energy of dammed water driving
a water turbine and generator.
• The power extracted from the water depends
on the volume and on the difference in height
between the source and the water’s outflow.
• This height difference is called the head. The
amount of potential energy in water is
proportional to the head.

Temperature difference to Electrical
Energy
• Ocean thermal energy conversion uses the
difference between cooler deep and warmer
surface ocean waters to run a heat engine and
produce electricity.
• Warm surface seawater is pumped through a
heat exchanger to vaporize the fluid.
• The expanding vapour turns the turbo-generator
and produce electricity.
• Cold water is pumped through a second heat
exchanger as it condenses the vapour into a liquid
and recycled through the system.

  Nuclear Energy to Electrical Energy
  • Nuclear fission technology is applied for the
  generation of power.
  • Naturally occurring uranium consists of three
  isotopes 238U, 235U, and 234U.
  • The fission of a nucleus of 235U caused by an
  interaction with a neutron.
  • A compound nucleus of 236U is initially
  formed. The fission occurs within a very short
  time and dissipates energy.
  • The dissipated heat is used to produce steam
  which is converted into mechanical energy in a
  turbine.
  • The generator converts mechanical energy
  into electric energy.

  Energy Conversions in Biological
  Systems
  • All living systems have to convert energy to
  the chemical energy in the form of energy rich
  chemical compounds.
  • Photosynthesis is the synthesis of
  carbohydrates from sunlight and carbon
  dioxide (CO2).
  IIoT to Solar Energy Storage Systems
  • Energy storage systems can take the solar energy
  industry to the next level and help bolster
  growth in emerging solar power markets.
  • These systems provide a means to align the solar
  power supply with the demand for power.
  • They provide the ability to store excess energy at
  the most convenient or cost-effective times, and
  release power to critical power loads when
  required, thereby increasing efficiency and
  reducing wastage
