Conventional Global Energy Systems
Task: To produce a Briefing Paper of around 2 pages, but fully utilising the allowable word-count, that evaluates the future prospects for one of the following technologies:
• Carbon Capture & Storage
• Hydrogen
• Nuclear Fusion
• Small Modular Nuclear Reactors
Your Briefing Paper should resemble a professional document with the following guidance:
- A Briefing Paper can be written in an essay style or as an article with sub-headings. There should be NO Report type structure, however.
- There should be a simple title page showing Module Code, your name, ID number and date.
- Inclusion of an Executive Summary, and a Table of Contents, neither of which are required, will result in a mark penalty.
- The start point for your Briefing Paper should be the current year (2022), and the future timeline should be no more than 10 years.(2022 to 2032)
- You can choose to either make the briefing country-specific or a global overview.
- Referencing as per APA guide 7th Addition methodology.
Energy Economics & Policy
Task: To produce a Report on one of the following countries and their national Energy Strategy from today (2022) until 2030 addressing climate change issues to meet the needs of the COP26 agreement and secure global net zero.
Choose one country from: UK, India
Your Report should resemble a professional document with the following guidance:
- There should be a simple title page showing Module Code, your name, ID number and date.
- Inclusion of an Executive Summary, and a Table of Contents,neither of which are required, will result in a mark penalty.
- The start point for your Briefing Paper should be the current year (2022), and the future timeline should not go beyond 2030.
- This assignment does not require you to discuss the overall goals of COP26 on a global basis your Report must be limited to one country.
- You should be highlighting your chosen country's strategy for renewable energy, specific targets to reduce use of fossil fuels, investment incentives in solar, wind, marine, bioenergy, geothermal, etc., whether there are plans to encourage Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS), and greater use of hydrogen as a fuel.
- Your report should include a critical evaluation of the measures in the strategic plan as to whether these are achievable and affordable. Do the measures in your chosen country's strategy enhance the security of energy supply?
WIND ENERGY
Task and Mark distribution:(3500 words)
You should produce a feasibility study for a potential wind, hydro, or marine energy project. Given the
structure of the module and the prominence of wind in future energy plans, it is recommended for youto choose one of the assigned sites below.
Site A: Millisons Wood, UK
Site B: Anjugramam, India
analysis should include:
A site assessment: Describe your allocated area, highlighting the factors that need to be considered whenbuilding a wind farm (including social, environmental, and technical factors) and, in general terms,discuss the suitability of the site for your project. We recommend using a clearly annotated map tosupport this discussion.
Technical assessment of the site: Site and size an optimum number of wind turbines/other across theallocated area, clearly explaining and justifying your finished site plan. For the wind farm sites, you shouldshow and evaluate the spatial distribution of noise from the operating wind turbines and discuss theirimpact and mitigation options for the surrounding area. Show the area that will be affected by shadowflicker, explaining its effect and options for mitigation. Provide and critique a Zone of Visual Influence(ZVI) map for the site without any buildings or trees.
Power Analysis: Evaluate and critique the expected annual energy yield and capacity factor of the site.Calculate and discuss the expected Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions savings for your project.
Critical Analysis: Explain the importance of a site assessment and include the limitations of your calculations. Explain what other necessary tools and analysis are needed to carry out further investigations.The proposal should cover all phases of the project from resource assessment to decommissioning, asoutlined in the below marking criteria.
Marking Criteria for project proposal Proportionof mark
1. Executive summary: Provides an overview of the main/key points of the proposal and conclusions reached.
2. Project Plan/Design: Provides a clear account of the resource assessment, site selection and development, energy system analysed, and a tentative timeframe of project life cycle.
3. Project cost/benefits: Provides a cost/benefit analysis of the proposed energy system. Cleary identify any government or private schemes applicable to the project.
4. Project constraints and risk assessment: Provides an assessment matrix of the risks that the project may face and their mitigations, as well as limitations of the proposed scheme.
5. Decommission: Provides a decommissioning plan and estimated cost of decommissioning the proposed system.
6. Proposal structure: Ensure the proposal is professional and appropriate for the targeted audience, and images and diagrams are properly referenced, following the University's guidelines.
