Assume that the average solar insolation in Jamaica is 6500Wh/m² per day and its land area is 10,992 km². Consider that 3% of the land area could be covered by photovoltaic (PV) solar farms and 80% of the area of the solar farm is covered with PV modules with a conversion efficiency of 20%. In this case how much energy expressed in kWh/day could be produced using PV farms? Part B With the aid of diagrams, explain the similarities and differences between a fuel fired steam plant and a combined cycle gas plant. Label all major sections of your diagrams. With the aid of a simple sketch, explain how the following angles affect the location of the sun relative to the earth's sky. • Solar declination • Solar azimuth Altitude

) You are required to design a power plant to produce electricity. It is expected to operate at steam pressure of 10 MPa, and steam temperature between 480°C and 490°C. The condenser pressure is expected to be between 8 to 10 kPa. A reheater is also being considered after first stage of turbine where steam pressure is between 0.6 and 0.8 MPa. The steam will be reheated between 470°C and 480°C and then returned to the second stage of the turbine. Select the data from above, draw Layout and T-s diagram and Analyze a. the thermal efficiency of the plant b. the cooling water requirement in kg/s per kg/s of steam, if cooling water enters the condenser at 25°C and exits at 40°C.
