MODELING ENERGY IN DAILY LIFE

PART 1: GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY

Modern lfe s closely ntertwned wth energy Snce the ndustral revoluton n the late 19th century, the

world’s electrcty has been generated at power plants Today, about 60% of electrcty s generated usng

fossl fuels (coal, ol, and natural gas), whch are burned n order to heat water to create steam to turn a

turbne The turbne drves an electromagnet that generates electrcty But burnng fossl fuels

contrbutes harmful greenhouse gases to Earth’s atmosphere, whch s contrbutng to a changng

clmate Therefore, renewable energy sources that mpose mnmal burden on the envronment are

growng n mportance and popularty In ths kt, you wll learn about dverse forms of renewable energy,

understand ther advantages over nonrenewable sources, and explore the potental challenges they may

face n future developments

The topc of energy can be dvded nto three parts generaton of electrcty, transmsson of electrcty,

and the use and storage of electrcty Below s a schematc of the parts ncluded n ths kt, and the

Electricity is just one of those things. Normally, you don’t see it, and you only recognize it by the effect it

has. But you come across electricity every day — when you turn on the light or make a piece of toast. So

what makes electricity flow?

Electrcty consists of the movement of unbelievably tiny particles known as electrons — which are

much smaller than an atom. It can be generated through varous methods such as solar power

generaton, hydroelectrc power generaton, wnd power generaton, and more In ths kt, you can

generate electrcty usng two components a generator/motor and a 45V solar panel
