2008 Electrical Engineering
Renewable Energy Capstone
The very first step in our project was to collect as much information about the problem as we could. Once
we did that and were able to define the problem clearly, we wrote the problem statement for our project.
The system Diagram is a visual representation of our project.
The requirements and specifications of our project are listed. We have divided them into categories
such as mechanical, economic, environmental, social, documentation, social, and general.
The approach we took to doing the analysis is described in detail. The team used a clean coal plant as
a base case and compared wind and solar generation to it to determine their various benefits.
