Using Solar Energy To Be Powered Flat

1038 Words5 Pages

Abstract
The objective is of this report is to talk about solar energy and its benefits as well as talk about the suggested flat that will be powered using solar energy. In order to power up a flat using solar energy firstly we need to know the consumption of the flat per month and buy the fitting photovoltaic that would fit the criteria, after the research in this report it was found that the flat would need about 10 solar panels to be powered up. Solar energy will be cheaper and better overall on the long term
Motivation: solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy and using it as the main source of energy would be a huge step in the right direction in Egypt.
Introduction
Electricity has been a major part of our lives ever since …show more content…

In order to find the amount of energy needed to power up the apartment, we need to find out the consumption of each device and how many hours a day it works.

Device Number of units Time working Energy consumption Total power used

42`Plasma TV 2 7 hours 130 watts 0.91KWH
AC units 2 12 hours 800 watts 9.6KWH
Microwave 1 2 hours 200 watts 0.40KWH
Refrigerator 1 24 hours 400 watts 9.6 KWH
Dishwasher 1 1 hours 300 watts 0.30KWH
Washing machine 1 3 hours 200 watts 0.60KWH
PC 1 2 hours 70 watts 0.14KWH
LED lighting 1 15 hours 100 watts 0.10KWH
Table 1: Device Consumption

This never-ending power source can fuel humanity for years to come as its clean and cheaper on the long term. The flat suggested in this paper will use solar energy as a power source and this should change from a suggested flat in a report to an actual real life project of flats and houses that use solar energy as a power source. Solar energy would be the right step to overcome the power surge issues we have been facing in the years that have passed.

Before the population crashed in the 1990s, oyster filtered 19 trillion gallons - an entire day's worth - once a week. The survivors struggle to do that in a year” (Begley 257). By using such a solid piece of information and eye opening statistic, it proves her point to an even greater extent. “The spiral in mollusk shells…has inspired a rotor that draws up to 85 percent less energy than standard fans is finding its way into computers and air conditioners”(Begley 256).

    A solar panel can be used for many things, but the biggest thing is used for capturing the sun's energy in order to make it useful provide energy to the house, buildings even be sold back to the city or town you live in etc.. It works by collecting the sunlight throughout the day, then converts into energy that's usable, then the electricity travels to the net meter then the energy is used for anything. When having the solar panel on a roof you can use it for personal use or even sell it back to the electrical company and they’ll pay you. There are about 73,000 terawatts of energy shining down that's 10,000 times then what we use on daily bases. Perks of having solar panels it's a tax 30% tax write off, doesn’t need any fuel combustion, Securing your energy and not depending on National

    Another discovery explains how energy consumption levels are not consistent throughout the entire daylight saving period. Evidence reveals the need for energy is high in the spring transition, but the highest increase is in the fall. Consumption increase ranges from two to four percent, in the fall. An increasing demand for heating and cooling and decreasing demand for lighting are tradeoffs persistent with the new discovery (Source F).

    Many studies have been conducted to test this statement’s validity, as the U.S. Department of Transportation studied energy conservation during daylight saving time in the 1970s, concluding that “America’s electricity usage is reduced by about one percent during each day that daylight savings time is in effect.” (Source B) This is a huge statement as it does not say one percent over the period of daylight saving, but one percent per day of daylight saving. Another more recent study by DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) in 2005 has shown that “the total electricity savings associated with DST (daylight saving time) amounted to about 1 percent in spring and fall, corresponding to national savings of forty to fifty megawatt hours per day.” (Source C)

    3 MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY 3.0 INTRODUCTION Energy analysis of buildings helps to simulate the amount of energy used in a building. It is very important as it helps to discover and ascertain new ways of conserving energy and ensuring energy efficiency of building components. Building developers, construction engineers are increasingly interested in creating more energy efficient reason, and for this purpose whole building energy simulation programs are being used to determine strategies that save energy and are cost effective. The most common way available to perform this building energy analysis is to implement building information modelling(BIM). Building Information Modelling(BIM) consists of a digital representation of physical and functional

    Scientists have found that renewable energy is a path towards the future for a clean and safe environment. Throughout all the studies and findings, there is a continuing fret whether people should be able to use a traditional way of energy or renewable energy, solar power. Solar energy is seen to be effective since there has progressively been more places that are benefiting from solar usage; however there are also some who disagree. Solar energy sources are derived from natural sources and is implicated throughout our daily lives. From the lights in the streets to the computers we use at home.

    According to the Environmental Education Programme of Richland City, United States, an average US resident owns about two button batteries, ten disposable alkaline batteries, and disposes of about eight household batteries annually. The study of EEP was conducted in 2003, which was twelve years ago. The world population in 2003 was approximately 6 billion, according to the World Population Data Sheet. If the amount of batteries disposed by the entire world population during that year were to be computed, it would be an overwhelming amount of solid waste with detrimental effects to the environment and on humans as well. The current global battery disposal would be expected to be much worse because of population growth.
