a) You have been employed by a renewable energy systems
installation company called Green Horizons. They have asked you to
carry out a feasibility study concerning the possibility of
installing a wind farm in order to supply electrical power to the
small town of Westville which is 100 km (62 miles) inland from the
coast. What factors would you take into consideration in order to
assess whether a wind farm will be suitable or not? [10 Marks]
b) In order to ensure that maximum power is delivered by the
wind turbines powering Westville, explain the type of system you
would put in place in order to achieve this. Use a diagram to aid
your answer. [6 Marks]
c) The type of wind turbine to be used for the Westville wind
farm will use induction generators. What technical challenges do
the use of such generators present, and what solution would you put
in place to resolve such issues?
