1 Prepared by Sun Energy Engineering, LLC Opportunities for Renewable Power Resources in Florida What are our options?

2 Renewable Resources Hydroelectric (run of river or storage) Pumped storage hydro Photovoltaic solar Solar thermal Organic waste combustion (i.e., MSW, wood harvest scrap, landfill methane) Wind Geothermal Ocean Current/tides

3 Renewable Resources Available in Florida Hydroelectric (run of river or storage) Pumped storage hydro Photovoltaic solar Solar thermal Organic waste combustion (i.e., MSW, wood harvest scrap, landfill methane) Wind Geothermal Ocean Current/tides

4 Renewable Resources Available in Florida Hydroelectric (run of river or storage) Pumped storage hydro Photovoltaic solar Solar thermal Organic waste combustion (i.e., MSW, wood harvest scrap, landfill methane) Wind Geothermal Ocean Current/tides

5 Renewable Resources Available in Florida Advantages and Disadvantages Photovoltaic solar Solar thermal Organic waste combustion (i.e., wood harvest scrap, landfill methane)

6 Renewable Resources Available in Florida Advantages and Disadvantages Photovoltaic solar –PRO No greenhouse gas emissions Well-understood technology Close to point of consumption Flexible installation options (Central or dispersed) Energy Storage capability (batteries, inverter) –CON High cost per kW/kWh High storage cost

7 Renewable Resources Available in Florida Advantages and Disadvantages Solar –PRO No greenhouse gas emissions Moderate cost per kWh/kW Energy Storage capability (mineral oil storage) Flexible sizing and location of large installations –CON New and poorly understood technology Utility level generation (not close to load)

8 Renewable Resources Available in Florida Advantages and Disadvantages Organic waste combustion –PRO Moderate cost per kW/kWh Dispatchable –CON Greenhouse gas emissions Not close to load Limited fuel supply

9 Renewables in Florida Suggested Order of Preference Solar Thermal –Lower Cost per kWh –Large Scale Solar Photovoltaic –Higher Cost per kWh –Many small packages Organic Waste Combustion –Waste material must be disposed of anyway
