5 Carry out a market survey on prices of the components used in your design. Calculate the total cost of the system (cost of parts and components, installation cost, and regular maintenance cost, etc.). Market survey of prices of components (5), cost of the system (5) 10 6 Calculate the power generation forecast and the associated income (cash flow). Consider seasonal variations, daily variations of generation if applicable. Carry out a financial assessment on the investment and comment on its suitability. Power/energy generation (5), financial assessment (5), comment on the assessment and suitability (5) 15 7 Use online tools/information to determine the environmental advantage and sustainability of the proposed energy generation system. Use internationally accepted indices. Environmental advantage and the sustainability (10) 10

3 Identify all needed components and devices in the energy generation system. Carry out necessary calculations to decide the requirement of the size of the quantity of the components. Investigate the typical efficiencies of each of the device used. Determine the overall system efficiency using the information provided in the lectures. How can you enhance the efficiency of the system? Identify components (5), size calculation (10), efficiency (5), enhancing the efficiency (5) 25 4 Design the layout of the system which connects the components identified. Label each component. Present this layout as an energy flow diagram too. Layout with component (10), energy flow diagram (5) 15

1 Select a location of the installation. Explain a suitable source of sustainable energy (wind, solar, tidal, hydro or biomass) with a suitable justification. Location (1), suitable source (1), explanation (3) 5 2 Decide whether the system is off-grid, grid connected or hybrid based on justifiable reasoning. Decide the size (generation capacity). The size can be determined to match an industry or a domestic energy requirement, or to match a financial constraint. Justification of type with the reason (2), size justification (3) 5

I need your assistance on the attached project. To design a off-grid Solar system. This will be a 3 phase system I have started, but want you to go over what I have done and continue up to the end please South Africa; Kimberley district; Northern Cape I am selecting an off grid Solar system. South Africa, Kimberley district receives solar irradiation levels of around 6 kilowatt hours per square meter daily. Ideally, solar panels installed in Kimberley should face a Northerly direction. 100 kVA system domestic – farm use – 3 phase 380 – 420 VAC – 50 Hertz I am selecting an off grid Solar system. Ground mounting Single Axis Trackers Average Solar Irradiance Peak hours of sunlight Location is based in a rural area so need to generate own electricity. I can use diesel generation, but fuel might become scares over time and more expensive.
