Select a region of the world you are interested in and a size of wind power generation system (small- capable of powering a small farm, large- capable of powering a city or a region) that you are interested in. Conduct a feasibility study of constructing and operating wind turbines in that region.
Your study must include:
Energy needs of that region, present and projected (5 points)
Energy sources currently in use in that region, and cost in cents/KW-hr (5 points)
Wind resources available in that region, including capacity factors (5 points)
Economic analysis, assuming a 10% financial discount rate, of the wind turbine system(s) (3 points)
Public policy issues important to that region (zoning, renewable portfolio standards, energy credit,..) (2 points)
The report will be approximately 10 to 15 pages (single
spaced) including cover sheet, table of contents, bibliography, figures, and appendices (if any).
