Towards zero carbon: achieving 100% renewable energy power generation
Propose how, using renewable energy technology, the UK might realistically move to a ‘zero carbon’ economy by 2040. i) Firstly, determine the current UK non-renewable energy consumption (e.g. gas, oil, coal) used for industrial and domestic heating and transport and some of our electrical generation and their carbon emissions. ii) Secondly, determine the current UK […]
Improving renewable energy utilization for remote communities
The implementation of embedded generation systems such as wind farms in remote communities located near the end of the distribution network creates challenges in utilising the energy generated effectively. In your response include references to smart energy utilisation by the local community and how FACTS systems could be used to increase system efficiency. Use annotated […]
