How would your energy system meet the scenario? - If your
energy system cannot maintain supply for the scenario, why will
it not be able to meet the challenge, what changes would you
make to enable it to meet the scenario, or what could you do with
regards to demand management to meet the scenario?
Suggestions
Make it clear how you would meet the scenario
Read carefully the scenario and take note of the comments on the
criteria as they have been set
Carefully consider what changes you would make to your system,
critically appraise your system and discuss options that could be used.
After you have read the questions please click on 'Submit' so that the
system will keep a record of your allocation.
A template is provided for your response, which can be found here.
Your response to
each
scenario should be
no
more
than
1000
words
Scenario 3
Due to climatic conditions on December 13th 2022, you have an increase
in your heating demand of 100% for 24 hours, due to the cold conditions.
The daytime conditions are a maximum temperature of 1º C, with an
average wind speed of 2 ms
-1
, and only 2 hours of cloud free sunlight. The
temperature at night drops to -3º
C with heating still required. he relevant
tide times are high tide at 9:30am and 22:00, and the low tides are at
15:30 and 03:40 (14th).
The 100% increase in heating requirements is across all households.
You are required to respond to this scenario in a manner that reduces the
impact on the well being of the population. You can use demand
management for this scenario, as long as it does not put at risk human
health and safety.
Scenario 6
On the July 15th and 16th 2022, there is a spike in energy demand
equivalent to 40% due to a linked set of non-related events, and runs for
12 hours on each day starting at 12pm each day. The average wind speed
at this time is 3 ms
-1
, with the skies being cloudy for about 75% of the
available daylight. The tidal times are high tide at ~09:45 and ~21:30, low
tide ~15:40 and ~04:00 on each day.
This 40% increase in demand is based on a base line of 80% of your
maximum demand. Demand management cannot be used for this
scenario, and it must not impact household energy use.
Scenario 8
On the 31st of August 2022, fog has descended resulting in stagnant air,
with no direct, only diffuse sunlight. This continues until the early hours of
the 2nd of September, when the wind picks up and the fog dissipates.
During this time there is an increase demand for energy as households are
requested to stay at home. This request extends to some energy workers,
meaning a drop in generation of 20% as the facilities cannot be staffed.
The tides during this time are ~04:00, and ~16:00 for low tides, with high
tides at ~10:00 and ~22:00.
The 20% drop is based on your total generation capacity. Household
demand management cannot be used for this scenario.
