Question

What are optimum energy utilization technologies? What factors would you need to consider to design an optimal energy system?

Answer 1

Optimum energy utilization technique are the utilization of reneawable energy sources in the Electricity sector. Best reneawable sources are wind and solar energy.

Factors which we need to considered to design an optimal energy system are

1) To design optimal energy system through reneawable energy sources depends upon the distance between areas of reneawable potential and load centers as well as transport technologies.

2) Hourly time series of the meteorological data, the technical potential for reneawables and the hourly load curves for each model region serve as model inputs.

3)Hourly values of the capacity factors for wind energy converter and solar radiation are considered as constraint on the operational level of optimal technologies.

4)Techno-economic parameter of power plant anad power transmission lines such as cost, efficiency and power change.
