- Define Renewable energies such as wind are called “green energy” since they emit no pollutants or greenhouse gases.Why renewable energy sources are called sustainable? List out any two reasons why they are considered environment friendly?Question 2: Consider you have to set a power plant for powering up the up hilled areas of Nathia-Galli Abbottabad by harvesting the hydro-energy from Nathiya-Galli Water-fall. As a major gas pipeline of SNGPL has already been laid near the water-fall, therefore, to low capacity of hydro-energy, we can also set a Gas turbine based Generating units as standby / peak load plant in combination with hydro-turbine plants. (1) You have the availability of both types of Gas Turbines i.e Open Cycle & Closed Cycle. Investigate the feasibility for selection of the type of Gas Turbine Power Plant from above-mentioned types, which will be more suitable under following available conditions / resources: a. Frequently changing Load conditions / constant load conditions b. Cheap fuel / costlier fuels to be used c. Nuclear Reactor based Heat exchangers / Combustion Chamber based Heat Exchangers
- What are renewable and non renewable energy resources? Compare and describe the advantages and disadvantages of each16 - Which of the following is not an issue with hydroelectric energy? a. Earthquakes b. Change in temperature c. Reduction in fish number d. FloodsRenewable Energy Systems (a) During the winter heating season of 180 days an office is heated continuously for 10 hours a dayby a 3kW electric heater. Assuming the heater is only used during the heating season determine howmany gigajoules and kilowatt hours are consumed by the heater annually. (b) Calculate the available power for two hydro schemes. One of the scheme has a flow rate of 3.4litres/second. And the other is a large river with a flow of 100 m3/ second. Both have an effective headwhich is 80% of the actual head. The actual head is 125m for each. And the plant efficiency is 83% foreach
- Your neighbor lives in a 2500-square-foot (about 250 m2) older house heated by natural gas. The current gas heater was installed in the early 1980s and has an efficiency (called the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency rating, or AFUE) of 65 percent. It is time to replace the furnace, and the neighbor is trying to decide between a conventional furnace that has an efficiency of 80 percent and costs $1500 and a highefficiency furnace that has an efficiency of 95 percent and costs $2500. Your neighbor offered to pay you $100 if you help him make the right decision. Considering the weather data, typical heating loads, and the price of natural gas in your area, make a recommendation to your neighbor based on a convincing economic analysis.A regional electric utility company has a power plant with 1000 MW of electricity. The overall thermal efficiency of the power plant is 25%. The fuel used in the plant is an oil with a heating value of 5.00 ´106 kJ/kg and costs PHP 3.75 per liter. The density of the oil is 0.90 kg/L. Determine: (a) the daily fuel requirement (kg) when the plant runs at maximum capacity.(b) the daily fuel cost (PHP) of running the plant at maximum capacity.There are two answers: one for (a), one for (b).solve and show steps for all 3. energy systems engineering problems. no copied answers
