IMPROVEMENTS FOLLOWING THE INTERIM PRESENTATION WITH ITS FEEDBACKS AND AFTER COUNTLESS THOUGHTS OF IMPROVISATION, OUR TEAM DECIDED TO CHANGE THE ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEM TO DEPEND ON SOLAR ENERGY. THE REASON FOR THE SELECTION OF SOLAR ENERGY ARE AS FOLLOWS: •
•
•
IT IS RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT: THE SUN IS ALWAYS THERE AND DOES NOT LEAVE. SOLAR ENERGY IS CONSISTENTLY THERE 24/7 THROUGH THE YEARS. WE DECIDED TO CHOOSE SOLAR ENERGY AS IT IS NOT AS INCONSISTENT AND UNRELIABLE AS OUR PREVIOUSLY SELECTED WIND ENERGY IN PART B. WE REALISED THAT WIND ENERGY MIGHT NOT BE AS CONSISTENT AND RELIABLE AS SOLAR ENERGY. WIND ENERGY DEPENDS ON THE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE FROM THE ATLANTIC THAT AFFECTS THE WIND SPEED AND VELOCITY THAT REACHES OUR SITE. THEREFORE, AFTER PLENTY OF CONSIDERATIONS, WE DECIDED TO SWITCH TO SOLAR ENERGY THAT IS RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT. PLENTY OF DATA REGARDING THE SUN: THERE IS PLENTY OF ONLINE RESOURCES AND DATABASES THAT CAN PROVIDE SUFFICIENT DATA AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE SUN AND ITS DATA. ONLINE DATABASES SUCH AS NASA IS ABLE TO PROVIDE AMPLE INFORMATION FOR US TO INPUT FOR OUR PARAMETRIC MODELLING TO JUSTIFY THE REASON FOR SOLAR ENERGY AND THE KWH PRODUCED FROM OUR PROPOSAL. MOST ABUNDANT AND FREE: WE DECIDED ON SOLAR ENERGY BECAUSE IT IS FREE AND EASILY AVAILABLE. 95% OF THE EARTH RECEIVES SUNLIGHT IN A DAY WHICH MAKES UP APPROXIMATELY 93% OF THE PLACES IN THE WORLD THAT RECEIVES ITS ULTRAVIOLET RAYS. SOLAR ENERGY IS PLENTIFUL AND ABUNDANT. FOR A NORTHERN EUROPE LOCATION, SUNLIGHT IS ABUNDANT ESPECIALLY DURING SUMMER OR HOTTEST MONTHS FROM MAY TO AUGUST, ANNUALLY. THE ABUNDANCE OF SUNLIGHT LED US TO SELECT SOLAR ENERGY AS THE CORE BASIS OF OUR PROPOSAL.
