Useful exergy is an important metric for understanding the efficiency of the energy system and the driver of economic growth
Useful exergy by iteself is useless!"unless it is used to deliver the energy and material services people want
Useful exergy
Heat delivered inan open desert
food that is never eaten
trains carrying no people
Examples of useless useful exergy
By understanding the links between useful exergy and energy and material services, we can find ways to make useful exergy even more useful!
“A modern industrial society can be viewed as a complex machine for degrading "high-quality energy into waste heat while extracting the energy needed for creating "
an enormous catalogue of goods and services” Claude Summers (1971)

Decomposition of service intensity

How can we deliver future energy and material services, "while reducing resource use and environmental impact?

When defining a service, we need to find a solution-neutral statement "which avoids any indication of how the service will be delivered. A useful technique used in product design is to raise the level of abstraction.
Abstraction
Abstraction has the following steps: § Eliminate requirements which have no direct bearing "
on the function and essential constraints
§ Transform quantitative statements into qualitative ones
§ Formulate the problem in solution-neutral terms "at the appropriate level of generality
Abstraction helps define the service and increases the search space of ways of possibly delivering the service

Can we group these physical measures
of service?
Can we find a single metric to measure
these services?

Physical separationa physical barrier which allows different states to
operate next to each other, or separation between
moving surfaces
Abstraction of material services wind, cold/hot,
rain, pollution, wheels
height, hot/cold, wind, rain, light
Growthnutrients for plants

light
water/air, hot/cold
fertiliser
Entertainment data amount/transfer communication
Dynamic reference state?
Exergy is difference between a state and a reference state, divided into four components: • kinetic • potential (gravitational or electromagnetic) • physical (pressure or temperature) • chemical
But we now need a dynamic reference state to deal with the changing environmental conditions, temperature, wind velocity, light levels, humidity, etc.
what about growth and
entertainment?
Exergy
Physical separation
looks like exergy
« Useful exergy can be useless in the same way GDP can be a measure of the wrong things
Conclusions"
« Energy and material serviceswe need to find better ways to define and measure energy and material services, linking physical quantities to needs
« Dynamic exergy reference state?physical separation = exergy (growth and communication?)
« Service quality how do we deal with this?
