If we wanted to supply all the electricity needs for New York City (NYC), with a popula- tion of about 10 million people, using photovoltaics technology, how much land area would we need? What other elements would be required for such an idea to work for NYC? How large of an investment would this involve, and how would the price of electricity in ¢ per kWeh have to increase in order to recover that investment in 10 years at an interest rate of 8%? For comparison, the average New Yorker paid 12¢/kWeh in 2002.
A photovoltaic system is installed. It is determined that the capacity factor of the installation is 21% over the course of a year. In that year it produced 7.73 MWh. What is the size of the installation (based upon a 365-day year)?

- 3. Please calculate the annual electricity production of a wind farm with 20 turbines. The annual mean wind speed is 7 m/s and diameter of the blades is 20 m. If we assume power consumption of a person is 3,000 kWh, about how many people will this energy support? Annual electricity production (KWh) = K Vm³ At T Where: - - - K = 3.2 (factor based on turbine performance) Vm= annual mean wind speed (m/s) At = swept area of turbine (m2) T = number of turbines Suitable for medium- to large-scale wind turbines (> 200 m2 swept area)arrow_forwardAn electric blender is used to grind soaked soya beans with initial internal energy of 3000 joules. If the power consumption is 0.1 KW, with heat loss from the blender is 20 joules/sec., determine the time in minutes the operation of the blender to make the final internal energy of 27,000 joules. Pls show detailed handwritten solutionarrow_forward1. A new town is being developed in a rural area of Costa Rica. Planners are projecting a population of about 2,000 people and a baseload electric energy demand for the town of 10MWe over the first 20 years. A nearby river flows from the rainforest region with a mean annual flow of 100m³/s. Over a 20 km distance upstream of the town site, the river has a change in elevation of 1,000 m. Seasonal variations in the river flow could be as large as a factor of ten above or below the mean flow. Is a hydro project using turbines with 80% efficiency feasible to meet the town's future energy needs? Discuss (2-3 sentences each) at least two associated impacts that planners also need to consider in the hydro project design.arrow_forward
