Demand and Supply Modelling Criteria (20%) Indicative 3000 words. 1. Compare at least 2 viable energy generation and at least 2 storage configurations in terms of their conversion efficiencies, capital cost per kW of generation capacity, and capital cost per MWh of storage capacity 2. Develop to the best of your team's ability an aggregated evaluation of domestic and commercial consumption profiles of the village. Discuss what you would consider to be a capacity contingency for economic growth within the village over the lifetime of the installation. (approx. 25 years) 3. What do you identify as the seasonal, weekday and hourly load variations for the village, and how do these variations arise? 4. Under a typical annual cycle of electrical power usage, what are the outputs required and what capacity headroom would you factor-in in the short-term for likely variances from the average caused by weather for example? What is the worst-case-scenario? 5. Based on your modelling, what would you consider to be the optimal mix of power generation capacity and energy storage capacity to cover the range of requirements for the village both in the short term and across the lifetime of the installation, in a resilient and reliable manner?
