Energy In Spain (Comenius Project)

First Comenius Meeting – November 2009 Jessheim videregående skole (Norway) Energy in Spain

Nuclear power SOURCES OF ENERGY IN SPAIN ,[object Object],Non-Renewable ,[object Object]

Sources of energy: PETROLEUM ,[object Object],Our major source of energy But Spain is not rich in oil so we buy it from Rusia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Mexico, Libia, Nigieria.

Sources of energy: COAL ,[object Object],Spanish coal has poor quality. Spain's coal reserves are located in Asturias, Sevilla, Córdoba and Badajoz. It is more expensive than imported coal.

Sources of energy: NATURAL GAS ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Sources of energy: NATURAL GAS ,[object Object],Where does it come from?

[object Object],Nuclear Power Nuclear power generates 18% of electricity in Spain. Nuclear power is as polemic in Spain as everywhere else. The Spanish government has recently decided to close a nuclear plant that would carry on producing electricity.

Spanish goverment is committed to get a target: Solar Power ,[object Object],12% of primary energy will come from renewable energy by 2010 with an installed solar generating capacity of 3000 megawatts(MW)

Solar Power ,[object Object],Spain is the 4º largest manufacturer in the world of solar power technology. La energía solar termoeléctrica –esa que aprovecha el calor del sol para calentar fluidos que luego moverán turbinas generadoras de electricidad– está de moda en España. Si el país del "sol y playa" ya fue el primero en dar el salto de lo experimental a lo comercial (con la planta de torre central PS10, en Sevilla, y con la de almacenamiento en sales fundidas, Andasol 1, también en Andalucía), ahora se convierte en el primero de Europa en enchufar a la red comercial una central solar termoeléctrica de colectores cilindro parabólicos, con lo que las principales "versiones" que presenta a día de hoy la tecnología solar termoeléctrica ya tienen sus correspondientes ejemplos comerciales en territorio español. 9-5-2009 Exports 80% of this output to Germany.

Wind Power ,[object Object],[object Object]

[object Object],Wind Power Several countries have achieved relatively high levels of wind power in 2008: ,[object Object]

Spain and Portugal: 11% ,[object Object]

Hydro Power ,[object Object],Spain now meets the target of 30% of electricity from renewable sources, set for the EU in 2010. In January and February with good rain and wind, and less demand because of the crisis, renewable power have produced 30% of the electricity consumed in Spain, according to Red Electrica of Spain, the company that manages the system.

[object Object],But now, rainfall has decreased significantly and high temperatures are doing the water reservoir to evaporate, so the amount of hydropower is decreasing. In 2008, wind and hydropower generated 18% of the total. Hydro Power

[object Object],Electricity production 2007

[object Object],This is the only technology for using solar energy in large power plants commercially proved over a number of years. NEW WAYS OF PRODUCING ENERGY Parabolic trough power plants

[object Object],This new solar plant continues working during the night or when it is cloudy. Parabolic Trough Power Plants

[object Object],With a net electricity output of around 150 GWh per year and a collector surface area of over 510, 000 square mts. Parabolic Trough Power Plants The largest solar power plants in the world.

[object Object],The ANDASOL 1 solar power plant, is Europe’s first parabolic trough commercial power plant. It went online in November 2008 and it was built by Flagsol, Solarmillennium and ACS. Parabolic Trough Power Plants Granada (Andalusia)

[object Object],Andasol 1 plant has started operation. Andasol 2 has started the commissioning phase. Andasol 3 is currently under construction. Parabolic Trough Power Plants
