    INTRODUCTION TO ENERGY

    CONVERSION AND
    UTILIZATION
    ME-218 OL
    1. WHAT ENERGY CONVERSION TECHNOLOGY DID YOU FIND THE MOST
    HELPFUL IN ACCELERATING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT?

    • The Steam turbine, the steam turbine is one of the mid-early


    devices that are up until today widely used in different applications.
    • Steam turbine is applied in several steam based applications,
    including renewable energies such as geothermal energy.
    2. WHAT SURPRISED YOU THE MOST ABOUT YOUR PREFERRED
    TOPIC?

    • The versatility of the steam turbine, that it can be used not only on
    several systems as a stand-alone energy converter but it can also be
    used for combine cycle plants to improve efficiency.
    3. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS CONVERSION TECHNOLOGY TO
    THE ACADEME FOR FURTHER RESEARCH?

    • Definitely, with the versatility of the steam turbine to be coupled with


    different conversion technology specifically the renewable energy.
    4. WHY WOULD THIS RESOURCE BE YOUR BEST CHOICE?

    • Because, the steam turbine is a mature technological component that


    covers a wide range of applications as stated by Enrico Sciubba, in 
    Encyclopedia of Energy, 2004. it can be paired with several renewable
    energy resources such as solar, geothermal, bio-energy and ocean
    energy. Aside from the current use on non-renewable energy that are
    nuclear and fossil fuel. It is a main component that converts thermal
    energy from steam into a useable mechanical energy. It is well known
    and have been tested for decades.
    5. DISCUSS BRIEFLY THE FINANCIAL CHALLENGES OF THE CHOSEN
    ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM.

    • Because the Steam turbines need a thermal energy source, the setup of
    the technology needs a complete cycle. This includes the steam boiler
    or a superheated substance source. With this fact, the upfront costs of
    building a steam/heat based powerplant will add up aside from the
    main conversion that is being done be it solar, geothermal or other
    renewable heat sources.
    6. LIST/STATE THE IMPORTANT FACTS FROM YOUR DESKTOP
    RESEARCH.

    • There are several existing energy conversion methods, one of the most
    efficient methods where steam turbine is being applied is nuclear but
    with a trade off of high radioactive wastes from the process.
    • Steam turbines have several applications including stand alone energy
    conversion and a supplementary waste heat converter.
    • Steam turbines are utilized in several renewable energy conversion
    powerplants. Most of the powerplants it is used are Geothermal and
    Bio-Energy.
