•A weather balloon near sea level (101,379 Pa, 304.23 K) has a volume of 269.78 ft3. It is launched and ascends to a height of 105,200 feet (858.74 Pa, 231.60 K) before bursting. What was its final volume, in ft3?
Question: Calculate the Solar Energy potential (GWh) that can be generated on Annual Basis if 50,000km2of the area of Jordan was covered with Solar PV modules.
List your assumptions:
Solar PV estimated generation = 2GWh/MWp
Each 1MWp will need = 10,000m2
Cost of fossil fuel to generate electricity in Jordan = 1000 million JD/year
Annual Electricity Generated in Jordan = 20,000 GWh
Required
Calculate Solar Energy potential by Dividing the Electricity generated from PV over 50,000km2 / Annual Electricity Generated?
You are going to Build a Solar PV Plant to cover the Annual Electricity Needs of Jordan
What is the Size of the plant?
Calculate Present Value (P), if the cost of the 1MWp = 500,000JD.
