Mini Project Guideline July 2020

This document outlines a mini project for students to design an optimal and sustainable renewable energy plan for a town. Students must figure out the best combination of renewable energy technologies to reliably power the town within budget. They need to design a process flow diagram and map showing the locations of the technologies and calculate land and costs. The plan must meet geographic constraints and renewable energy potential at each location. Students will prepare a full report and poster to present their renewable energy revamp plan.

CPB40003 INTRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY JULY 2020 SESSION

MINI PROJECT CPB40003


(INTRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY)
OPTIMAL AND SUSTAINABLE: RENEWABLE ENERGY REVAMP
Introduction:
In Malaysia, we currently use coal, oil (petroleum), and natural gas for most of our energy;
however, these fossil fuels are nonrenewable and can have negative impacts on Earth’s
climate and the environment. You want to replace fossil fuels as your main source of
electricity with cleaner and more renewable sources, but the use of many of these renewable
energy technologies are limited by things like geography, climate, and cost. How would you
deal with these limitations?

Your Challenge:
With a your team group, design a renewable energy plan for your town.
1. Figure out what combination of renewable energy technologies can provide a constant
and reliable of electricity for all of the residents and businesses of your town without
going over budget (comparing with current sources).
2. Design your Renewable Energy Plant (Process Flow Diagram)
3. Draw the locations of where you will build your renewable energy technologies on the
Map of your town. Calculate how much land space and cost of the plant you will need for
each. Be ready to justify why you built things where you did.
4. Using the maps, show that your plan meets all of the geographic energy potential
constraints (that the renewable energy technologies will work where you put them).
5. Prepare your full reports and poster

Focus Questions

Why might we want to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources to power our
cities?

What does it mean to ‘optimize’ something, like a plan or solution? What kinds of tools can
we use to efficiently solve an optimization problem?

What are the benefits and drawbacks of different renewable energy technologies?

Tips and Hints


Remember that some renewable energy sources like the wind and sun are intermittent,
meaning that they aren’t necessarily available all the time. You might not want to rely solely
on intermittent energy sources!
You can use any combination of renewable energy sources as long as they meet the outlined
conditions and you can justify your choices with logical explanations.
