A solar power-plant can supply 1 million homes. The average energy consumption of a typical home is around 10,800 kWh per year. What is the capacity of this power plant in MW? Assume the capacity factor to be 0.44 for calculations.
Homework Answers
Since average energy consumption = 10,800 kWh per year and No. of homes = 1 million and capacity factor to be 0.44
So, The capacity of this power plant required = (10,800 kWh * 1000000 ) / 0.44 = 24545454545.454 KWh = 24545454.54 MW

There is a rural community with 8000 households. The community has a power plant that uses fossil fuel with a capacity of producing 20,000 megawatts (MW) and the average energy consumption per house of 10,000 kilowatts (kWh) throughout each year. With this scheme the residents pay 9 dolars per hour each kWh. Some investors have proposed to the community to look for alternative sources of energy, and for that they propose the installation of 10 wind turbines. Each of these...

Question 2 Portugal has a typical insolation of 1000 W/m2. A solar PV plant located there has an output of 11 MWp. Since the collectors track the sun, the power output is steady at 11 MW from 09:00 to 16:00 Hrs and almost zero outside this time. The lifetime of the system is 20 years with an annual operating cost and total capital investment of €1 million and €75 million, respectively. The cost of capital is 7% p.a. The efficiency...

A concentrating solar power (CSP) plant has a capacity to produce 250 MW of thermal power (i.e. heat) at noon. The heat temperature is 400ºC, and the air temperature is 20ºC. The exergy/2nd law efficiency for this type of technology is around 50%, if the system is well-designed. What is the rated electrical capacity of this CSP plant, in MW? (1pt) What is the energy/1st law efficiency? (1pt)

NRG Energy plans to construct a giant solar plant in Santa Teresa, NM to supply electricity to 30,000 southern NM and west TX homes. The plant will have 390,000 heliostats to concentrate sunlight onto 32 water towers to generate steam. NRG will spend $560 million in constructing the plant and $430,000 per year in operating it. If a salvage value of 20% of the initial cost is assumed, how much will the company have to make each year (i.e., AW)...
