EE 563 Spring 2005 Presentations April 15, 2005 Jim Harris Guidelines for presentations Initial resources to be used Educational objectives Schedule

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.
