Assessment Pack Contents : Aim, Tasks This section includes 1. Detailed assignment brief; 2. Learning outcomes; 3. Marking grid/marking rubric 1. Detailed assignment brief Resources and Bibliography: The aim of this assignment is to understand the nature of the wind resource; to learn how to conduct a site-specific analysis of the wind environment from measured data on the site in order to estimate the suitability of the site for wind turbine applications. An excel file is provided, with one year of historic wind speed data from this site 1 . The site is considered for installation of a wind turbine. With this consideration in mind, analyze the available data to critically address the following topics and evaluate the suitability of the site for wind energy applications. Task A: Wind speed distribution (annual). Plot the annual distribution of the wind speed magnitude in ms -1 (i.e. plot the number of hours per year that the wind speed takes value within a certain range) (i) as this can be obtained from the measured data and (ii) as this can be derived using a long-term average value of annual mean wind speed for the site (obtained, for example, from publications/tables or the measurements) and Rayleigh distribution. Plot the results of Tasks A (i) and A (ii) on the same graph, explain, briefly, how the graphs are generated, critically evaluate your results and compare the results of the distributions in A (i) and A (ii). Task B: Wind turbine siting. You want to install an 11 kW wind turbine at your site you are considering the one with the specifications given in the pdf file provided with this assignment. Discuss the suitability of this wind turbine for your site, based only on the available wind resource at this site (without including economic evaluation or other factors that may affect the suitability). You are required to produce a Written Report, the requirements of which are explained here: Written Report: 1500 WORDS font size 11 or 12; line spacing 1.5 Your report should include (i) The title of the assignment (ii) A brief introduction, up to 150 words. The introduction will include a subsection on the description of the site and available data, (iii) Two sections to address tasks A and B with the corresponding
headings. These sections will include brief theoretical background on each task (iv) Conclusions. (v) References. (vi) Appendices. The report should be submitted through Blackboard. Resources An excel file is provided, with one year of historic wind speed data from this site A pdf file with the wind turbine specifications (for part B of this assignment) Assessment criteria 1. Report structure & presentation (LO 1,3-5): 20% 2. Introduction & conclusions (LO 1,3-5): 20% 3. Task A: Wind speed distribution (LO 1): 30 % 4. Task B: Wind turbine siting (LO 3-5): 30 % 2. Learning outcomes The assignment should produce sufficient evidence for partial fulfilment of the following module learning outcomes: (1) Use comprehensive mathematical models for the analysis and evaluation of the nature of renewable energy sources and assess the limitations (3) Identify and critically evaluate appropriate technologies for energy extraction in a renewable energy project . (4) Apply mathematical models to calculate the output from renewable energy sources and assess the limitations of particular cases . (5) Thoroughly assimilate and critically evaluate current practices, limitations and likely new developments in renewable energy technology
