1. (3 pts) Given an upper reservoir with an area of 0.02 km2, a depth of 3 m, and a lower reservoir 7 m below, what is the potential energy available of this system in [MWh)? 1.1. (3 pts) If the power available is 985 kWh, what is the efficiency, n. of this facility? 1.2. (5 pts) On a daily basis, a textile factory consumes 60 KW.. The factory runs 24/7, using 60% of its daily power during daytime operation hours, and 40% during nighttime operation. During the daytime, the power is supplied by a combination of solar and grid energy, however the head of maintenance wants to convert to using local pumped storage hydropower (PSH) during the night to reduce costs. Does the facility in #1 and 1.1 supply enough power for long enough to run a night shift fully from PSH? 2. (5 pts) A CAES facility is being designed; the cavern volume is 5000 m3 and the target power generation is 100 kWh. If P = Patm, what pressure (Pa) does the design team need to target to meet the power requirement? (be careful with your units!! )
