Learning Outcome 1: Evaluate the energy demand to determine the technology and methods of energy production
Learning Outcome 2: Explore current energy efficiency measures, technologies and policies specific to the building and transportation sectors
Assignment brief
Purpose of this assignment is to test your understanding on
- Evaluating Energy demand and methods of energy production considering existing and renewable energy systems by determining technology.
- Also to explore energy efficiency measures, technologies and suitable policies specific to building and transportation sectors.
Scenario
EWA and SEU are the Governing bodies to look after energy matters in Kingdom of Bahrain. Being appointed as probationary renewable engineer in SEU, senior engineer assigned you the task described below before actual implementation on site.
The task is to seek the possibility of installing PV panel and electrify 3 houses/an electric vehicle instead of existing utility grid which consume approx. 3.kW load.
You have to ensure that the overall system becomes more reliable and economical to run for optimum energy management, hence, to apply modelling by MATLAB/SIMULINK, and analysis of the dynamic performance of power electronic converter used with that renewable sources.
The typical house/small car consume energy 3 kW. The existing utility grid supply is single- phase AC power network via a transformer mounted on a post which lowers the voltage 11kV to 240 V. The initial input irradiance to the PV array model is 250 W/m2 and the operating temperature is 25 deg. C. The string of PV array to be selected for 3000W.
Part 1
- Prepare a brief critical evaluation report- of solar PV panel system over current energy sources and other renewable technologies used in energy efficiency improvement for meeting short term and long-term demand by referring to any legitimate sources data and showing charts, also considering their global impact on environment and demand, cost, benefits, effectiveness, and drawbacks of the given distribution system.
- Determine the factors that impact on the energy use and efficiency in a building, discuss measures taken to improve efficiency, technologies and Evaluate selection of technologies that could be used to improve energy efficiency in a Bahrain home or technologies chosen in an electric vehicle namely Tesla Model 3 to promote sustainability.
- Refer to scenario, Model the electrical energy consumption of the utility grid distribution system comparing with a PV system using Matlab/Simulink or equivalent software. Analyse the dynamic performance of dc-dc converter used with PV system at various irradiance level and calculate energy, cost savings of PV system, considering development and installation cost against utility grid.
