A 100 W CFL light manufactured by Buyer’s Choice consumes 23 watts andhas an illumination rating of 1600 lumens and service life of 8000 hours andcosts $1.81. As an alternative, a generic 100 W incandescent light bulb costs$0.38 and produces 1500 lumens and has a service life of 750 hours. Let uscompare the performance of each light bulb by calculating the efficacy foreach light, and also estimating how much it would cost to run each light for 8hours per day for 220 days in a year. We will assume electricity costs 9 centsper kWh.For the Buyer’s Choice 100 W CFL light:
A PV system is using 80 W, 12 V panels and 6 V, 155 Ah batteries in an area of unshaded sunshine. The battery efficiency is 73% and the depth of discharge is 70%. If, in wintertime, there are 5 hours of daylight, estimate the number of PV panels and batteries required for a 24 V application with a load of 2600 Wh /day and three days of storage.
A family of five is planning to install solar panels on the roof of their home to help reduce the cost of electricity and save energy to help the environment. The family plans to install 10 panels, each with a power rating 600W. On average, a solar panel can produce electricity for 4.5 hours daily. Each person in the family uses electrical energy at an average rate of 2kilowatt-hour per day. Will they still need to buy electricity from an electrical energy supplier? Explain your reasoning.
a) A 380V, 7.5kW electric water pump of power factor 0.8 lagging and efficiency of 85% will be wired by an armoured XLPE insulated copper cable. The circuit will be run on cable tray with three other similar circuits at an ambient temperature of 40℃. MCCB will be used as the overcurrent protective device for the circuit. The estimated length of the circuit for the machine is 50m. i) Determine the minimum rating of MCCB for the circuit, available MCCB rating are 25A, 30A, 40A, 50A ii) Determine the minimum cable size of the circuit if the allowable voltage drop of the circuit is 1.5% of the nominal supply voltage?
Whale and Kanmuro are two islands located at the Chimera archipelago. These two are separated by a distance of 16 miles. A power link is to be established between them. The power link delivers a maximum power of 584 megawatts at full capacity with an operating voltage of 580 kilovolts. Note that 1 mile is 1.6 kilometers. Solve for the resistivity (in ohm-micrometers) of the cable asusming a conductor diameter of 1.55 centimeters.
