a. Where is the plant located? What kind of renewable energy does it use?(0.5 +0.5 point)
b. Some technical details of the system, type of turbine, efficiency, capacity, etc.
c. What is the total capacity of the power plant?
d. How many households will be supported by the plant if it is active only 50% of the time? (Assume approximately 20,000 kW power is needed for each household)
e. How much coal would be required in a coal-burning power plant to generate the equivalent amount of energy? The energy content of coal is 8,142 kWh/tonne (1 tonne = 2,206 pounds). Assume the energy efficiency of the coal-burning power plant is 40%
