Island

ISLAND

• 300 km squared area
• 60 km off the coast of Molvania
• Western Winds
• Inactive Volcano with lake basin
• 320 days of sun
• Uranium and coal abundance
• 25m waterfall

Island

• takes 147.44 GWH/yr to power Island
• 14.74 MWH/yr per person
• all based on American standard since American's would be target demographic
• chose the two energy sources off of ability to power Island single-handedly per anum
• Nuclear and Solar Energy

Fossil Fuels

• 1 to 3 million tons of coal
• undergo complete reactions
• non-renewable
• burned, create steam, turn turbines, and power generators
• potential energy: 1,923 GWH to 5,769 GWH
• Pollution
• NO!

HydroElectric Energy

• Uses Gravity to propel water through a dam
• Turns turbine inside the dam
• Amount of electricity determined by length of all and amount of water
• power=(height of dam)x(rate of flow)x(efficiency of the dam)/11.8
• assume flow rate 500 cubic feet per second
• NO!

Wind Energy

• Large rotors increase surface area
• Slow rotation converted to fast rotation
• rotation turns internal turbine
• turbine powers a generator
• Generator creates a current
• 15 could fit on the island
• No!

Geothermal Energy

• Heat form the mantle is utilized to power steam turbine
• On the island, hot water would be pumped through a turbine
• Steam would activate turbine
• Turbine would power generator
• Location: Lake-basin of volcano

Nuclear Energy

• Heat is produced from the decomposition of Uranium to more stable atoms
• Heat heats water and creates steam
• Steam turns turbine which powers generators
• Boiling Water reactor vs. Pressurized water reactor
• water is renewable, uranium is not

Nuclear Energy

• 23 tons of pure uranium to make control rods
• Build a single reactor on the western 310m strip of the Island
• One reactor is enough to single handedly power the entire island per anum
• Build a port at the bottom of the 30m cliff
• dispose of depleted uranium through said port

Solar Energy

• 320 days of sun on Island
• No emissions and energy can be stored in batteries for when sun is not shinning
• Would need 41 5mx5m panels (or a 2KW set up) to power Island single-handedly per anum
• Would place solar panels on the roofs of buildings
• Would create a solar field in the North east

Solar Energy

• Solar field would have a centralized mirror that focuses and reflects sun rays onto the solar panels
• This increases solar energy output
• Solar energy is a cheap and reliable energy source for Island
