EEE3021 EEE8157 Renewable Energy Course Work (Development of a Solar Farm or Wind Farm)
1. Course Work:
1.1. Background
The course is assessed by examination and coursework. The coursework is assessed orally via a presentation (which
is recorded), of no more than 10 minutes. The coursework aims to develop research skills and the ability to utilise
relevant information from different sources in addition to giving experience in the challenges of renewable energy
development and communication skills.
1.2. Aim
The academic aim of this coursework is to find a site suitable for a solar or wind farm within your allocated area and
analyse the practical and economic aspects. Site selection must be based on economic, technical and logistical
considerations and presented in an accessible manor for a business development manager of an engineering
investment company. All recommendations and conclusions must be justified and backed up with calculations,
references and relevant technical background.

1.3. Business Brief
An investment company wishes to invest in a renewable energy farm designed to export electricity to the UK
distribution network. Working as an energy consultant, your job is to work on behalf of the investment company to
propose a generation facility that will make a good return on their money. You are required to perform a high level
feasibility study on behalf of the company detailing either a solar farm or a wind farm within a designated area,
outlining the options including:
• Evaluation of proposed site and justification of solar or wind
• Justification of the proposed site power rating
• Type, number and layout of solar cells or wind turbines (example pictures)
• Details of local electrical infrastructure and connection possibilities based on data provided in the long term
development statement and Npower heat map. Could include
o distance and type of connection,
o impact on local network,
o Single Line Diagram to the point of common connection,
o reverse power flow
o Maximum capacity.
• An economic assessment which could include
o Capital costs
o Annual income
o Connection cost
o Payback or other economic evaluation tool
