1 Sustainable Energy Development for Albacete Assignment 1, Part 2 Mimi Zhang Astrid Wood September 18, 2007

2 Best Scenario: BedZed, UK Beddington Zero Energy Development in Wallington, Surrey –Buildings all have solar panels and “wind catchers” 109kW of PV for 82 units –100 unit development is powered by a 130kW combined heat and power biomass plant –Parking spaces are expensive Community has a car- pool scheme and plug- in spots for electric cars –700 people signed up for future zero energy housing http://www.nesea.org/publications/NESun/BedZED.html

3 Best Scenario: Dyfi, Wales Ecodyfi, mid-Wales, UK Community owned and developed renewable energy: http://www.ecodyfi.org.uk/energy/renewables.htm –120kW from hydro- power –75KW and 340KW wind turbines –Around 40kW of installed solar power –More in development

4 Worst Scenario: Linfen, China Linfen city in Shanxi, China –World’s most polluted city for many years Home to a hundreds of coke ovens, coal processing plants, pharmaceutical factory, among others Residents suffer from chronic respiratory problems, high rate of cancer Source: NPR

5 How does Albacete fit? Albacete can strive to: –Make new developments as green as BedZed, encouraging efficient buildings –Build urban solar and wind generation –Development biomass energy and combined heat and power generation –Decrease coal usage by co-firing coal with biomass –Development cleaner methods of transportation such as public transit that runs on natural gas or biofuels, and eventually, even hydrogen

6 Data for energy analysis Which existing class GIS data would be needed? –Solar data –Biofuels data –Any existing energy-use data –Land-use data Additional required data –Location and voltage of transmission lines –Location of transformers –Location and size of wind farms, individual turbines –Location, size, and type of coal power plants –Location of gas stations (for integrating hydrogen cars) –Locations of renewable manufacturing plants
