Question 1: Describe the design and operating strategies that you would implement to the micro grid to benefit micro grid system owner and operator considering climate change and global warming effects and technical and economic perspectives. Note that the remaining parts of the assignment should be driven through your proposed strategy in this part considering the given specifications of the assignment and any extra thoughts adopted to further develop the specification considering a realistic busines case.
Question 2: Draw a complete schematic diagram showing the detailed component connections of wind, PV, diesel, and others that are needed to operate the micro-grid system smoothly in real-time by expanding/ extending Figure 1. Also describe how each component/system in the expanded/ extended micro grid system operates considering operating functions of each key element of the micro grid system.
Question 3: Calculate the number of (a) wind turbine units and (b) PV modules required to meet the demand of the micro-grid as per the given specification in the assignment and the design & operating strategies proposed in part (1).
(c) Determine the number of diesel units, their sizes, and their locations in the micro-grid.
(d) Size the micro grid feeders using the given technical and costing data to meet the loading and other conditions of the proposal.
(e) Use energy storage solutions as needed and size them justifying technical and economic benefits.
(f) Size capacitor banks for the micro grid system to compensate for reactive power demands at loads. Consider the efficiency of a PV system as 64%. Assume that there are no shading effects.
Also, consider that the power losses of a feeder can be approximated to 2.5% of the electricity demand through the respective feeder. Show all the calculation details, assumptions, and technical and economical justifications as appropriate.
Question 4: Present a formal report covering (1) to (3) sections, presenting the engineering judgements you made, a discussion, conclusion, and references. The arguments, discussions, and conclusions must be made by referring to the given case of the assignment. No marks will be given if a student just reproduces conclusions, discussions, or justifications that are commonly available in published literature or textbooks.
