Roger Willson on December 5, 2011

Most of us have seen a commercial of a new product currently being televised in which the background voice says, "sometimes something new comes".

Apply this to the LED technology, and you'll know it has brought in a change only for the better. Ask the experts and you'll find them giving a thumbs up to ...

Warm, getting warmer

When temperatures rise, so does electricity consumption

At the Cancún COP16 talks in Mexico, leading multinationals called on governments to work closer together in building a low-carbon economy.

Speaking at the Business Action for Climate 2010 event, Felipe Calderon, the President of Mexico, said that it was possible to have both economic growth and to fight climate change, pointing out that the key issue was in working towards clean development. UNEP (UN Environment Programme) suggested that solutions already existed and could be as simple as switching to energy efficient lighting.

When temperatures rise, so does electricity consumption and figures published at the outcome of the latest Cancún climate change talks in Mexico show that 2010 was the hottest year on record. Industrial representatives at COP16 underlined the importance of energy, the focus of this month’s e-tech. Panelists at the Sustainable Development session at which one of the speakers was Jean-Pascal Tricoire, President and CEO Schneider Electric [see previous e-tech about the IEC Global Visions], talked of resource productivity, energy efficiency, conservation and design.

Even without the climatic changes, demand for electricity is rising on a global scale, not only in the industrialized world but increasingly in developing countries, too. Being energy efficient doesn’t only imply ensuring optimal use of electricity but looking at new ways to generate, transmit and distribute it as well.

The recent IEC study of the entire electric energy chain highlights some of the manners in which the IEC can help the world address the energy challenge, finding new solutions and proposing new opportunities for measuring and containing energy use.

Work is underway in IEC TCs (Technical Committees) to ensure that universally accepted metrics provide meaningful energy efficiency comparisons. Standardization work takes into account the many sources of energy generation that exist. These include both renewable, inexhaustible natural sources such as wind, solar, thermal, photovoltaic and hydro, and clean continuous energy sources such as nuclear, wave, tidal and other predictable water currents.

Production is only one side of the equation. Equally important is the manner by which electricity is transported – stepping up the voltage to UHV is one means – and how it is distributed. Finally, it is essential, particularly where natural variable power sources are concerned, to develop methods for storing and best conserving energy using fuel cells or pumped storage or other methods such as towers filled with molten salt that can withstand tremendous temperatures and then release that stored heat energy again in the form of steam-driven turbines.

This month’s e-tech looks at the efficiency potential of various methods of energy generation, transmission and distribution, together with some of the forms of storage of electricity.
