This report should be done at the level of some who is already taken thermodynamics at the university level and is currently taken a second more advance thermo course. Total grade is out of 37.5, I am putting the most important information first;
“the scheme includes two parts: 10% automatically granted for the initial objectives of the project (description of the solution + implementation + impact on society and environment) + 27.5% (not automatically granted so this part will be graded) for a new component of the project that should cover engineering analysis in terms of technical and fundamental description of the solution and an estimation of the power produced by your solution.
For example if you selected geothermal, then you have to explain the theory and the technical aspects involved in geothermal. You have to try to calculate power produced by your solution based on geothermal. If you have selected the solution combining different approaches (exp: geothermal + solar) than please briefly describe each approach and calculate the total power produced.”
The initial objectives of the project that is worth a free 10% as mentioned above, it should not take more then 3 pages here are the initial objectives in detail:
MAIN OBJECTIVE
Improve our knowledge regarding renewable energies and their implementation.
SPECIFIC OBJETCTIVE
Around 65-70% of current energy production is based on fossil energies. The best scenarios predict that our reserves of oil and gas will not last more than 100-150 years. Developing alternative energy resources is therefore vital.
The new elected government of the USA (United States of Africa) decided in its energy strategic plan to develop alternative energy resources and the objective by 2050 is to generate more than 50% of the electricity from a renewable source of energy.
As a group of Engineers working for a consulting company you will have to provide the government of the United States of Africa a report in which you suggest realistic solutions in order to achieve the objective of the strategic plan.
NOTES
– You have to choose a name for the consulting company
– The solutions you will be suggesting have to take into consideration the geography of the African continent and the availability of the resources.
– You are FREE to select ANY type of alternative energy.
– The report has to include: 1) general description of the solution suggested and a clear justification of the choice compared to other possible solutions; 2) information regarding the maximal power that can be produced; 3) implementation of the method and connection to the grid; 4) maintenance of the equipment; 5) Future developments of the suggested solution. 6) Impact on society and environment.

You must show the power calculations!
