Guidelines

• Six presentations starting on April 29– Teams of 5-6 students: formed today

• Presentation in PowerPoint format– Review previous EE 563 presentations on web for

examples– Each team member presents for 5-6 minutes– Target presentation time: 30 minutes– Goal: At least 10 minutes at end for discussion

• Schedule presentations next time April 22– Lottery for dates– Random drawing for unallocated dates

Guidelines (continued)

• Seminar devoted to study of sustainable energy for San Luis Obispo County by 2050– Assumptions

• population in 2050 is 500K (doubles): a growth rate of about 1.6% per year (about half of 3% county target)

• Energy equally divided (25% each) between: residential, commercial, industry, transportation

• Energy sources:– Biomass – methanol– Biomass – algae (biodiesel)– Solar – photovoltaic– Hydrogen fuel cells (include source of hydrogen)

• Transportation: hybrid biodiesel• Based upon current distribution system

– Electrical: central and distributed– Transportation: service station– Storage: battery and others

Initial Resources

• BK Richard presentation• EE 563 Fall 2004:

– Group 1: SLO county PV estimation for 2050– Group 2: SLO county solar roofs– Group 3: Biodiesel

• Use the web– Begin with “google searches”– National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)– DOE– EPA

The Prize• A copy of Out of Gas goes to the team

submitting a spreadsheet with an model for energy independence for San Luis Obispo County using a combination of PV and biodiesel– Basic model is acceptable, but it must

include • Population number P (nominally 500,000)• Current PV technology efficiency E with a

declining cost factor C (i.e. N%/year) • Use UNH claims for producing liquid/stored

energy (e.g. for transportation); include pipeline costs estimates.

• Storage Cost estimate (S% of generation cost)

• Financing Cost (F% interest per year)• Grow to independence by 2050

– Goal is to build up intuition on what it will take to get there.

Educational Objectives

• System engineering exercise– Define problem, requires research– Propose/design solution(s)– Summarize/evaluate result

• Team project– Team effort

• Individual work for parallel effort to meet schedule

– Define goals– Organize work and responsibilities– Collectively, work together to successful conclusion

Schedule for Preparation

• Today April 15: team formation– Form teams– Consider tentative topics– Schedule next meeting

• Next Friday April 22: working session– Report topic, presentation manager– Determine presentation date– Goal: team members have assignment
